SURFIN’ THROUGH STAAR Session 2: Cellular Processes Background Information: Cell Transport When molecules move from a high to low concentration it is called moving DOWN the concentration gradient. When molecules move from a low to high concentration it is called moving AGAINST the concentration gradient. When the concentration of a solute is the same throughout a system‚ the system is at EQUILIBRIUM. What kind of transport DOES NOT require energy? PASSIVE What kind of transport requires

Photosynthesis and Respiration Objectives: In this activity we will review the process of photosynthesis and cellular respiration‚ and become familiar with the use of a pH indicator for investigating these processes. Following this activity your group will generate a new research question about photosynthesis or respiration‚ and utilize the pH indicator system for the experiment that your group will design‚ implement and interpret. Introduction: Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and

Importance of Photosynthesis and Respiration Explain how photosynthesis and respiration are linked in order to provide you with energy from the food you eat: Photosynthesis is the process in which certain life forms are able to use sunlight to create energy. This energy is created by making carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of chlorophyll. Plants release large amounts of oxygen into the atmosphere as they produce much more than needed during the photosynthesis process.

Cellular Respiration Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effect of body mass and temperature on the rate of respiration in the mouse. Hypothesis When the temperature is reduced‚ cellular respiration will increase. Measurement Weight the mouse and use soda lime for mouse to perspire. Oxygen was inhaled and carbon dioxide was exhaled. Carbon dioxide was absorbed by soda lime. Rate of respiration was measured in terms of ml of oxygen per min over grams. General

between the processes of aerobic respiration and photosynthesis. To start‚ aerobic respiration can be defined as a biochemical pathway through which chemical bond energy is released from food and changed into ATP. On the other hand‚ photosynthesis is manufacturing of carbohydrates out of CO2 and the splitting of water in the presence of light. Photosynthesis and aer. respiration can be the same in many ways. For instance‚ both of them contain cycles. In photosynthesis‚ there is the Calvin cycle‚ and

ABSTRACT The effect of co-factor (MgSO₄) and the nature of substrate on the rate of cellular respiration in yeast were determined using two different set-ups. In the first set-up‚ two test tubes were used where one contains 7m and the other with 7 mL 0.2M MgSO₄ and both containing 7mL 10% yeast suspension. Here‚ data shows that the H₂O mixture showed higher amount of CO₂ evolved than MgSO₄. In the second set-up‚ six Smith fermentation tubes were used each containing different 15mL solution (starch

The respiration and photosynthesis cycle is the process by which plants and animals interact in a codependent and symbiotic manner to produce the nutrients‚ gases‚ and energy that they require to survive. Plants obtain energy from sunlight and use it to combine carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process is called photosynthesis. Animals eat plants containing glucose‚ and combine glucose and oxygen‚ releasing energy‚ water‚ and carbon dioxide. This process is called respiration
Free Photosynthesis Adenosine triphosphate
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

rate of cellular respiration will be affected if we change the food source from glucose to three different experimental variables (fructose‚ sucrose‚ lactose). Cellular Respiration is a process that generates ATP and it involves the complete breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide and water. Carbohydrates‚ fats‚ and proteins can all be used as fuels in cellular respiration‚ but glucose is most commonly used as an example to examine the reactions and pathways involved. Cellular Respiration can be divided

Cellular Respiration and Fermentation: Experimenting With CO2 and Redox Reactions Julius Engel; Section 8 Abstract In this experiment‚ the subjects of study were fermentation‚ mitochondrial respiration‚ and redox reactions. In the first experiment‚ yeast was grown in various carbohydrate solutions at various temperatures. In the second experiment‚ succinate was added to various samples of a mitchondrial suspension‚ DPIP‚ and a buffer. Then after two blanks were used‚ the samples
