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

Investigating the effect of intraspecific competition on the growth of mung beans Introduction When plants reproduce‚ size is highly correlated with reproductive. The struggle for reproductive survival among plants is the struggle to grow in the face of competition from neighbours. So the question this experiment asks is how competition affects the growth of plants. A plant growing in a nutrient-abundant environment free from competition will exhibit maximum growth. One way to address this question

Cellular Respiration is part of the metabolism of organisms‚ it provides the energy for organisms’ basic life activity. The process of cellular respiration converts oxygen and water to glucose and carbon dioxide‚ and usually occurs inside of mitochondria. Thus the cellular respiration is closely related to the life of all organisms‚ especially the human. In a case study in cellular respiration‚ seven unrelated people died in five days‚ and the reason is unclear. However‚ all the victim had same

Cellular Respiration Cellular respiration is a chemical process that produces adenosine triphosphate‚ or otherwise known as ATP for energy that is also needed to survive. It leaves waste products‚ carbon dioxide and water‚ which is needed for photosynthesis‚ a process that only plants use. Production of ATP through the process of cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of the cytosol inside plant and animal cells. Cellular respiration occurs in three stages‚ Glycolysis‚ which happens in

The effects of pH on mung beans Gloria Cheng Winsy Cheung Lily Wong Christine Yen January 15‚ 1998 Abstract This experiment explores how different pH environments affect the growth of mung beans. The mung beans were grown in water with various pH levels‚ consisted of pH levels 5‚ 6‚ 7‚ 8‚ and 9. A replicated design was used consisting of 3 runs for each pH level. The following results are listed in order of pH levels allowing most growth to least growth of the mung beans: 7‚ 8‚ 6‚ 5‚ and 9. These

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

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

Lab 7 – Cellular Respiration Objectives: • To be able to define cellular respiration and fermentation. • To give the overall balanced equations for aerobic respiration and alcoholic fermentation. • To distinguish between inputs‚ products‚ and efficiency of aerobic respiration and those of fermentation. • Understand the relationship between respiration and photosynthesis. Note: You should perform experiments as described in this handout‚ which are adapted from Starr and

Move hydrogen atom electrons from glucose to O2‚ forms 6 H2O molecules 3. Trap as much free energy released as possible in the form of ATP Stage 1: Glycolysis Cytoplasm‚ 10 reactions‚ anaerobic Stage 2: Pyruvate Oxidation Mitochondrial matrix‚ 1 step process Stage 3: The Krebs Cycle Mitochondrial
Premium Adenosine triphosphate Cellular respiration Glycolysis
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
