Seven characteristics of life In life‚ there are seven different characteristics these being; movement‚ excretion‚ respiration‚ reproduction‚ irritability‚ nutrition and growth. Below‚ I will explain each of the characteristics in detail. Reproduction means; “the production of offspring by a sexual or asexual process” (oxford concise colour medical dictionary‚ 2007). Animals and plants do this in different ways‚ animals need two parents‚ and therefore the offspring will share both of the parent’s

Purpose Name Due Date Clothespin Lab / Muscle Fatigue What are the affects of anaerobic respiration on you muscles? Background Normally‚ muscles use oxygen through a process known as cellular/aerobic respiration to make energy (or ATP) from sugar (glucose). This process is very efficient and produces 38 ATPs for each molecule of glucose. Carbon dioxide and water are the results of this reaction. When muscles undergo rigorous exercise they require more oxygen to make ATP than the

eukaryotic cells.[1] These organelles range from 0.5 to 1.0 micrometer (μm) in diameter. Mitochondria are sometimes described as "cellular power plants" because they generate most of the cell’s supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)‚ used as a source of chemical energy.[2] In addition to supplying cellular energy‚ mitochondria are involved in other tasks such as signaling‚ cellular differentiation‚ cell death‚ as well as the control of the cell cycle and cell growth.[3] Mitochondria have been implicated

different forms but no more may be added. So that these don’t run out they are cycles so they may be reused. Photosynthesis and respiration are the reverse of each other‚ and you couldn’t have one without the other. Carbon is an essential component of all organic substances‚ necessary in nucleic acids‚ proteins‚ carbohydrates. The only way that can enter ecosystems is when it’s used for photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide diffuses into the plants stomata and through the Calvin cycle is combined with other

Section 33 Yeast Cell Respiration 10/04/2010 Part B: Explanation of Results All cells carry out the process of cell respiration in order to meet their energy needs. It is advantageous for cells to have the ability to metabolize different substrates. In this experiment‚ we investigated each sugar’s (glucose‚ lactose‚ sucrose‚ fructose‚ and lactose/lactaid) cell respiration rate. When referring to my group’s graph and data‚ glucose ended up with the highest respiration rate (1‚177.2 ppm/min)

The Mitochondrion The cell is the most basic unit of life. The cell serves as the place for processes such as cellular respiration‚ metabolism and energy production in the form of ATP‚ or adenosine triphosphate. Many organelles—small structures that help to carry out the daily operations of the cell‚ inhabit the cell such as the Golgi complex‚ the endoplasmic reticulum‚ the nucleus‚ or brain of the cell‚ and lysosomes. An organelle that is the place where most of the cell’s energy is generated is

Living Cells- we all require transfusion of energy from the outside For us- it comes from food Plant Friends- sun (light) Most ecosystems- flows in as sunlight & out as heat Panda- obtains energy from eating plants Catabolic Pathways Yield energy by oxidizing food Exergonic reaction- gives up energy Ex.
