There are two types of cellular respiration that organisms use‚ aerobic and anaerobic. But first of all‚ what is cellular respiration? Cellular respiration is the process that occurs in the body cells called the mitochondria. This process is also shown in its chemical formula‚ C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O → 12H2O + 6CO2. Cellular respiration is for heterotrophs‚ such as humans‚ animals‚ fungi‚ and bacteria. They use organic compounds in the presence of oxygen and are converting it into carbon dioxide and

What Is Cellular Respiration and What Influences It’s Function? BSC 2010L 06/19/2013 Abstract: Eating is a basic essential of life that most people don’t pay much mind till they’re hungry. Eating is essential and very important for various reasons but one of the main reasons is for energy. Our bodies use a term called cellular respiration which is the process by which chemical energy of food is released and partially captured in the form of ATP or energy. Throughout the experiment

Lab #2: Energy in Cell Virtual Lab - Week 3 NAME: ________________________________________ 1. What is the importance of the light and dark reactions in photosynthesis? Photosynthesis works by absorbing light. Our sun gives off energy and the chlorophyll from the plant absorb this energy. The energy is then used to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen and then they combine hydrogen and carbon dioxide to make sugars. 2. What happens to food energy during photosynthesis? During

Principles of Cellular Respiration Ashley Flannigan November 5th‚ 2013 Professor Ryan BSC2010 Lab Fall 2013 2220 ABSTRACT Students in a Biology 1 lab class constructed an experiment on Cellular Respiration by investigating the effects of temperature on crickets’ metabolic rate. By following the following procedures out of the Lab Manual‚ the students were able to find an almost accurate representation of the crickets’ cellular respiration rate under various temperatures in order to

AP Bio p. 6 December 8‚ 2011 AP Biology Lab 5: Cellular Respiration Introduction/Lab Objective: In this lab we are testing how the process of cellular respiration is affected by temperature‚ and also how it is different between germinating and non-germinating peas. Cellular respiration is a catabolic process (breaks down organic material into usable cell energy) that produces ATP. The electron receivers are inorganic. Cellular respiration releases energy from organic material through chemical

Virtual Lab: Optimizing Photosynthesis Maria Diaz March 12‚2012 Pre-Lab Questions 1. Which two variables are controlled in a similar manner? The two variables that can be controlled in a similar manner are CO2 & the light level. 2. How can you get the results to the investigation faster? You can get the results to the investigation faster by adjusting the speed at the bottom of the water weed simulation. 3. How will you be able to determine the rate of photosynthesis

I enjoyed doing the virtual lab. I treat water as an occupation so I understood how and what to add to treat the water. If you have a low (acidic) pH then you should add sodium hydroxide. If you have total coliforms‚ you should chlorinate before and after treatment. Often‚ we test houses for total coliforms and e. coli. If the bacteria is positive‚ then we chlorinate the well. After we make sure all the chlorine is throughout the house‚ we let it sit for 24 hours to disinfect the pipes and

This lab was split up into two different experiments‚ using different variables in each. During the first section of the lab‚ we investigated the what the effect of light is on both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Our hypothesis about this effect was that the cuvette representing ‘no light’‚ being covered in foil‚ would result in a yellow CO2 indicator fluid‚ meaning that there was a decrease in pH and a high level of CO2 was present. Additionally‚ we hypothesized that the cuvette that was

Virtual Lab: Cell Cycle Lab (Onion Root Tip) In this virtual lab activity‚ you will be observing the cell cycle in the tip of an onion root. The root tip is responsible for the downward growth of the root and is one of the regions in the plant where cells are actively dividing and growing. Because of this‚ the root tip is an excellent system in which to observe the entire cell cycle‚ including the processes of nuclear division (mitosis) and cell division (cytokinesis). You will be submitting a
