one or both of two very important processes; cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is performed by plant organisms and some bacteria‚ and cellular respiration is performed by all living organisms. These two processes are reliant on each other. Photosynthesis creates oxygen‚ which is used in cellular respiration. Cellular respiration in turn creates carbon dioxide‚ which is an important “ingredient” in the process of photosynthesis. Let’s take a closer look at what makes these processes

pigments of spinach leaves can be separated. The knowledge gained in this experiment is relevant to understanding how the process of photosynthesis works. A Real-world application for this includes the harvesting of clean energy sources‚ as scientific advances have led the way to artificial photosynthesis on the path to replace fossil fuels (Nath‚ 237). Photosynthesis converts light received from the sun into chemical energy known as ATP. Visible light is absorbed by the pigments found in plants. Carbon

Conclusions The amount of cellular respiration increases based on the amount of exercise. The equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 ⇒ 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP. Glucose is broken down into 2 pyruvate. The pyruvate then travels through the Kreb cycle and produces carbon dioxide. The oxygen travel through the electron transport train and produces water and energy. In order for the body to maintain homeostasis while exercising more oxygen is needed and cellular respiration increases. In return for a greater

Lab Report: Photosynthesis Name: Purpose of this Lab What is the goal of this lab? What question are you trying to answer‚ or what problem are you trying to explain? In this lab I will perform experiments to explain photosynthesis. I will answer questions like what does photosynthesis do and how does photosynthesis work? Hypothesis After reading the lab instructions (but before starting the lab) record your best educated guess about what will happen in the experiment. Explain

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration go hand in hand‚ but there are differences of the two that most people overlook. Without either of these processes though‚ the human species wouldn’t exist. Along with every other plant or animal. Photosynthesis starts off the cycle‚ with light energy being trapped within the cell and transported into the chloroplast. Water and carbon dioxide follow the similar route of the light energy and as so is collected into the chloroplast. Photosynthesis tends to take

plant. Plants and trees cover about thirty percent of the planet’s surface‚ as stated in NASA’s Earth Observatory division. They use a process called photosynthesis‚ which allows plants to take energy from the Sun and later using it as food‚ as well as producing oxygen through the process of respiration. So how does it happen? The process of photosynthesis occurs as follows. First‚ the plant uses the sunlight and the green color in their leaves to make sugar from carbon dioxide‚ or CO2‚ which is in the

Measuring the rate of cellular respiration in yeast within different types of sugar Aim/Reasearch Question: How can the rate of cellular respiration be measured to find out if sucrose‚ dextrose‚ lactose‚ or maltose lets the yeast to respire more than others. Hypothesis: I think‚ dextrose yeast solution will respire the most number of bubbles because it is the simplest sugar to break. Materials: * Knut * Dropper * Graduated cylinder (100ml) * Warm water * Yeast Solution

All organisms on earth depend on photosynthesis‚ in which light energy is used to make sugar and other food molecules from carbon dioxide and water. For example‚ plants and other photo-synthesizers need only energy from sunlight‚ carbon dioxide from air‚ and water from the soil to make the sugar glucose. Photosynthesis is the most important chemical process on earth because it provides food for virtually all organisms‚ not only for photo-synthesizers but for the organisms that eat them. Plants can

Cellular Respiration vs. Photosynthesis To obtain energy needed for life‚ organisms depend on the processes of cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Though they share the same function of changing energy from one form to another‚ there are many differences between cellular respiration and photosynthesis in regard to the input and output molecules‚ energetics‚ cellular location‚ and ecological importance. The chemical equations of cellular respiration and photosynthesis are opposites. The

Research and Rationale: My investigation consists of researching and carrying out experiments in order to obtain results on how the rate of respiration is affected by temperature. In the experiment I will use one sugar but will be changing the temperatures. In my investigation I will carry out an experiment where one sugar is used to test how changes in temperature (10⁰C - 60⁰C) affect the rate of anaerobic respiration in yeast. I will be carrying
