Both photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the main pathways of energy transportation in organisms. However‚ the reactants and the products are exact opposites in photosynthesis and in cellular respiration. In photosynthesis‚ cells take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) by absorbing energy from the sun‚ and then the cells release oxygen (O2) and store glucose (C6H12O6). The formula of photosynthesis is: Light energy 6CO2+6H2O → C6H12O6+6O2

Aerobic vs Anaerobic Respiration Aerobic RespirationAnaerobic Respiration Diffen › Science › Biology Cellular respiration is the set of the metabolic reactions and processes that take place in organisms’ cells to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP)‚ and then release waste products. It is one of the key ways a cell gains useful energy. Comparison chart Embed this chart Aerobic Respiration Anaerobic Respiration Definition Aerobic respiration uses oxygen. Anaerobic

inorganic cofactor such as Magnesium to the rate of respiration of yeast was determined using Durham tube assembly with the substrate glucose. After thirty minutes‚ the test tube with the cofactor in the form of Magnesium sulphate MgSO4 showed the higher amount of carbon dioxide evolved which was measurable through volume and was one of the by- products of cellular respiration. This stated that the higher amount of CO2 evolved‚ the higher the rate of respiration. Thus‚ the hypothesis “If enzymes need cofactors

thermoregulation Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) Homeostasis is the ability to maintain a stable environment inside the body. For example‚ your body does things to maintain constant blood sugar levels and body temperature. 1. What are some things you do to stay cool on a hot day? Some things I do to stay cool is to drink water‚ wear less clothes and turn the fan/ air conditioner on at the location I am at. 2. What can you do to warm up on a cold day? On a cold

The Effect of Increasing Temperatures on the Enzyme Catalase Enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions inside your body and without enzymes‚ chemicals reactions in cells would be incredibly slow to a point where no activity at all takes place (Brawo press Inc‚ 2017). Enzymes speed up the chemical reactions by lowering the activations energy and they do this by binding substrates together in the correct orientation to react (Ernest Z‚ 2014). They are vital for life and serve a

Can tegu lizards maintain an elevated body temperature during their reproductive season? Experiment: Dr. Glenn Tattersall and a team of researchers in Rio Claro‚ Brazil studied changes in the heart rate and body temperature of tegu lizards (Salvator merianae)‚ by implanting lizards bred in captivity with specialized electronic chips. One group of lizard lived in an entirely outdoor environment for one year. Three other groups that were subjected to alternating indoor and outdoor environments over

cellular respiration is oxygen and carbon dioxide. The process of cellular respiration is releasing energy from sugars using oxygen and the product is carbon dioxide and water and in the process‚ ATP is made that can then be used for cellular work. Oxygen is needed to be absorbed from the environment and into the organism’s blood so it can be transported to respiring cells. Carbon dioxide must be released into the environment from the organism’s blood. The formula for cellular respiration is:

WHY DOES THE COLOUR LEAK OUT OF COOKED BEETROOT? PLAN Hypothesis Temperature has an effect on the leaking of the colour from beetroot. This means that as the temperature is altered there will be a change in the rate of colour leakage. Scientific Background Beetroot is a very familiar vegetable and is commonly known as beet. It is famous in most recipe books that advice that its outer skin is not to be removed to avoid getting red dye in the cooking water. If we look at the internal structure

In this lab we measured the rate of respiration of germinating mung beans and germinating peas at room temperature and 10 degrees Celsius. The rates of respiration at room temperature were higher than the rates of respiration in cold water. The reaction rate of the germinating peas at room temperature was .0125 ml/min and the reaction rate of the peas at 10 degrees Celsius was .0095 ml/min. The same is true for the germinating mung beans. At room temperature the rate of reaction was .0105 ml/min

Examples of extreme environments on Earth are hot geysers and oceanic thermal vents‚ Antarctic sea ice‚ and oxygen-depleted rivers and lakes. Organisms that have evolved special adaptations that permit them to live in extreme conditions are called "extremophiles."
