Results: The mealworms that were in the room temperature water have a higher cellular respiration rate than the mealworms in the cold water. This is because while they are in the cold water‚ the mealworm’s body slows down which decreases the amount of CO2 that is being produced. Unlike the mealworms in room temperature water‚ their cellular respiration was higher because their body temperature remained the same creating CO2 at a faster rate. Since there were two different controlled groups‚ there

Testing for Cellular Respiration by Balloon Inflation Experiment Number 2 Abstract: Through a timed test it was discovered which substance A or substance B contained glucose and when combined with yeast results in respiration; it was found that substance A contained glucose and resulted in respiration when combined with yeast. At 0 minutes all four balloon’s circumference was 9 centimeters; substance B and salt remained the same circumference‚ 9 centimeters‚ for

Photosynthesis & cellular respiration are the main pathways of energy flow in living things. Photosynthesis is a process by which plants and some other organisms convert‚ light energy from the sun‚ CO2 from the air & H2O from the earth‚ into chemical energy stored in molecules like glucose. Cellular respiration is a process in which O2 is delivered to cells in an organism & metabolic process in cells leads to the production of ATP by the breakdown of organic substances. Cellular respiration occurs in the

Glycolysis a series of biochemical reactions in which one glucose molecule is oxidized into two pyruvic acid molecules and a small amount of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Generation of high energy molecules are used as cellular energy sources in aerobic and anaerobic respiration. The products formed through glycolysis usually enter into the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain to produce more energy. Fructose enters the glycolytic pathway through the liver or skeletal muscle. For example

Mealworms eating Potatoes Report What will gain mass? What will lose mass? What color did the BTB change? What are atoms moving from? Where are they moving to? I predicted that the potato would lose mass‚ and the mealworms would gain mass. I predicted that the BTB would lose mass. My last prediction was that the atoms are moving from the potato and into the mealworms. Steps for our procedure: 1.)Get container deep enough so mealworms can’t crawl out‚ with holes for them to breathe. 2.)Record container

Scientific Method - Mealworms Abstract The experiment is designed to determine which substrate‚ A (oat bran) or B (peat moss) will be better nourishment for a mealworm after exposed for 7 days. A total of 30 mealworms were placed in the substrates for a period of 7 days; 15 in substrate A and 15 in substrate B. The data was compiled and analyzed on day 7 to determine the change of mass in each of the mealworms. The experiment proved my hypothesis to be correct; the mealworms would not thrive

The goal of this experiment was to explore how temperature would influence the rate of cellular respiration of beans. It was hypothesized that as the temperature of the beans increased‚ the rate of cellular respiration would increase as well. In this experiment‚ the independent variable was the temperature‚ which gradually increased as time went by‚ and the dependent variable was the rate of cellular respiration‚ which was shown by the change in the amount of CO2 and O2 in the container. During the

Abstract In this experiment‚ the preferences of mealworms towards lighted and dark environments were tested. The main question posed was whether the behavior of the mealworms would be affected by the variable of light‚ and whether they would move towards or away from the light source (taxis). We placed ten mealworms into two adjoining containers and tried to simulate the effects of above ground and underground by exposing the mealworms to minimal amounts of light in one of the containers (underground)

Analysis Growth of Mealworms Abstract The experiment is designed to show which substrate A or B will better nourishment for a mealworm. A mealworm was placed in each substrate for a period of seven days and the change in mass from Day 1 to Day 7 was compared. The data was compiled and statistically analyzed. The experiment failed to reject the null hypotheses that there would be no difference in the two substrates regarding meal worm growth. The conclusion that there was a difference
