Other sports‚ such as marathon‚ are considered aerobic sports because they involve continuous movements at more or less the same pace and are appropriately called steady state activities. However‚ considering the duration of a badminton match‚ which could last from 30 minutes to an hour‚ it also has aerobic elements which means it would also require sustained endurance. So the more accurate description would be that badminton is both an aerobic and anaerobic sport‚ with emphasis on the anaerobic

fermentation (anaerobic) or respiration (aerobic). Both of these processes involve oxidation of foodstuffs‚ yet only the latter requires oxygen. Cellular respiration is a very complex process that consists of many steps that take place inside the cell‚ in an organelle called a mitochondrion. Mitochondria are responsible for converting digested nutrients into the energy-yielding molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to fuel the cell’s activities. This function‚ known as aerobic respiration‚ is the reason mitochondria

Cellular Respiration Project Objective Answers 1. The overall equation for Cellular Respiration is 6O2 + C6H12O6 6H2O + 6CO2 + energy. Overall‚ it is the reverse reaction of photosynthesis‚ but chemically‚ the steps involved are very different. All you have to do is just flip both sides of the equation of photosynthesis‚ and you have the opposite‚ which is the equation for cellular respiration. They are reversible chemical reactions‚ meaning that the products of one process are the exact

Photosynthesis Maria Diaz March 12‚2012 Pre-Lab Questions 1. Which two variables are controlled in a similar manner? The two variables that can be controlled in a similar manner are CO2 & the light level. 2. How can you get the results to the investigation faster? You can get the results to the investigation faster by adjusting the speed at the bottom of the water weed simulation. 3. How will you be able to determine the rate of photosynthesis in this simulation

Rate of Photosynthesis Aim: To investigate the effects of light intensity on photosynthesis. Background: Photosynthesis is a process that plants undergo to produce glucose. The plant then uses the glucose to produce energy which the plant needs to sustain life. The chemical formula for photosynthesis is: Sunlight 6CO2 +6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 Chlorophyll The plant requires light‚ carbon dioxide and water to partake in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis

Title: Rate of Photosynthesis Introduction: Photosynthesis occurs in plants where the light energy changes to chemical energy. This process occurs in the chloroplast of the plant cell in order to have gas exchange in the organism. Purpose: To measure the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis in the leaf cells. Hypothesis: The higher the concentration of the sodium bicarbonate solution‚ the faster the leaf of the plant will rise to the surface of the water in the beaker‚ the

Aerobic Training vs. Anaerobic Training Each person has different goals when wanting to become physically fit‚ but not many people know the difference between aerobic and anaerobic training. Even though aerobic and anaerobic training both contribute in maintaining overall health and both produce energy through glycolysis‚ which is the conversion of glucose into pyruvate‚ the training are different to achieve different results and the metabolic processes used by these two types of training

Cellular Respiration In this lab the effects of different substrates on the rate of cellular respiration is being put to a test which is a very interesting experiment. The three major substrate solutions being used for this experiment are glucose‚ maltose‚ and alanine. The issues this experiment addresses are cellular respiration occur in different stages which are glycolysis‚ citric acid cycle‚ and fermentation. In this lab the experiment determines the effect of different substrates on
