Cellular respiration a process in which sugar and oxygen are used to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP)‚ water‚ and carbon dioxide. The chemical equation for this reaction is C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy (ATP). Cellular respiration occurs in 4 steps: Glycolysis‚ the preparatory reaction‚ the Krebs Cycle‚ and the oxidative phosphorylation. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell‚ in this process glucose is broken into two 3 Carbon molecules called pyruvates. The preparatory reaction

nitrate concentration and nitrite concentration were still below the limit‚ which were 10 mg/l and 1 mg/l for nitrates and nitrites respectively. Nitrification occurred in the water in the pH range of 8 to 9 at temperature range of 20 -25 oC‚ Dissolve oxygen and suitable bacteria. Therefore‚ the concentration of nitrite will be increased though nitrification. The ammonia‚ also below the acceptable limit of 0.5 mg/l‚ however it is not suitable for drinking because drinking solution contain ammonia cause

Graph 4 shows a positive correlation between volume of oxygen and the increase of hydrogen peroxide; as the amount of substrate increases‚ the more oxygen is produced from the enzymatic reaction of hydrogen peroxide. For example‚ when five drops of hydrogen peroxide was added‚ it can be seen that 16.2mL of oxygen collected in the gas syringe‚ whilst when 15 drops were added‚ 96.4mL of oxygen was indicated‚ strongly supporting the original hypothesis‚ which was that as more hydrogen peroxide was added

Introduction Like many other water plants‚ Cabomba has specialised tissue called aerenchyma that allows gases to diffuse inside the plant. Aerenchyma provide buoyancy and allows oxygen transport to the submerged roots that may otherwise be in hypoxic (low oxygen) conditions. If you cut through the aerenchyma‚ oxygen can escape. This can be made use of this in the classroom to show how the rate of photosynthesis is affected by light intensity or by the colour of light reaching the plant. Don’t

pigment that collects lights‚ consumes radiant energy from the sun. Therefore‚ this energy is then used to separate water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Then‚ oxygen is released into the atmosphere. While‚ hydrogen and carbon dioxide collected from the plant are then transformed

In this fermentation process‚ this device was used for the characterization of the oxidation pattern of different strains. G. oxydans

comprised of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen bonded together has many complex properties. The molecule maintains a bent shape due to its tetrahedral arrangement and the negative lone pair of electrons on the oxygen. The electrons from both hydrogen and oxygen are joined covalently but the difference in electronegativity lets the electrons from hydrogen get pulled slightly toward the oxygen therefore making the hydrogen positive and the oxygen negative (a dipole molecule). Hence water being

An atmosphere may be retained for a longer duration‚ if the gravity is high and the atmosphere’s temperature is low. Some planets consist mainly of various gases‚ but only their outer layer is their atmosphere.” Air is mainly composed of nitrogen‚ oxygen‚ and argon‚ which together constitute the major gases of the atmosphere. The remaining gases are often referred to as trace gases‚ among which are the greenhouse gases such as water vapor‚ carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ nitrous oxide‚ and ozone. Filtered
