Chapter 1 Revision Questions 1) List three abiotic characteristics and briefly describe the main differences between aquatic and terrestrial environments. Abiotic characteristics are: Temperature‚ Pressure and Light Availability. The differences between aquatic and terrestrial environments are: Small temperature changes occur in aquatic environments while large temperature changes occur in terrestrial environments. As the depth of water increases‚ pressure increases in aquatic environments while

food. • Consumers: is organisms that get their energy by eating other organisms. • Decomposers: there organisms that get there food by breaking down organisms. • Cellular Respiration: The process of breaking down food to yield energy. • Cellular Respiration occurs inside the cells of most organisms. • During Cellular Respiration‚ cells absorb oxygen and use it to release energy from food. HOW DOES ENERGY TRANSFER? • Energy is being transfer when an organisms eats another organisms FOOD CHAIN •

Colleen Hamilton AP Lab 4: Determining the Rate of Cellular Respiration of Peas at Varying Temperatures and Stages of Germination I. Purpose and Intro The purpose of this lab is to determine the rate at which germinating peas respirate at varying temperatures and stages of germination. Cellular respiration is the set of metabolic reactions and processes that takes place in an organism’s cells in order to create ATP from sugar. It occurs in the mitochondria and comprises three stages: glycolysis

INTRODUCTION: All cells need to have a constant energy supply. The two processes by which this energy is attained from photosynthetic materials to form ATP are cellular respiration and fermentation. (Hyde‚2012). Fermentation is a way of harvesting chemical energy that does not require oxygen. (Reece et al. 2012). When the body is deprived of oxygen it will then begin to meet its energy needs through the slow process of fermentation. In our lab we investigated alcoholic fermentation by using

Review Questions Exam 2 Although I try to cover all materials thoroughly in these questions‚ anything covered in lecture may appear on the exam. Membrane Transport 1. Describe the cell permeability and membrane transport. What can enter/exit the cell on its own? What requires assistance? Why? 2. Describe membrane potential. What is it? How is it established? How does it influence the transport of charged molecules? What are the components of the electrochemical gradient?

CYCLES IN BIOLOGY This essay will give examples of cycles in biology from different scales of magnification‚ ranging from molecular level to populations and ecosystems. Cycles are sequences of events which repeat themselves in the same order‚ one event leading to the next. There are many examples of these in Biology. Cycles can be seen even at a molecular level in the body. An example of this would include the passage of action potentials down neurones in the nervous system. When the cell membrane

Abstract The hypothesis states that plants respire at a faster rate if they are exposed to wind‚ opposed to no wind. This was tested by putting one plant in water in front of a fan and the other plant in water‚ but with no fan. The results showed that the plant in front of the fan transpired more. However‚ since the plant blew cold air it affected the rate of transpiration and altered the experiment. Overall‚ this experiment supports the hypothesis that wind makes plants transpire more.
