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 oxidation

Aerobic cellular respiration and oxygenic photosynthesis are two cellular processes that have evolved in similar ways. Cellular respiration is responsible for the process of ATP‚ meanwhile oxygenic photosynthesis is the process of turning light energy into food. It is evident that both of these processes have their own reactants‚ products‚ and biochemical pathways. Both of these processes have evolved from their primitive original state‚ but it is important to understand that oxygenic photosynthesis

Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis are two processes that occur in a cell. Cellular respiration coverts glucose and oxygen into ATP and its byproducts‚ carbon dioxide and water‚ are what cause photosynthesis to occur which is then converted into glucose and ATP and then release oxygen. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast while cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria. The glucose for cellular respiration is first split in the cytoplasm during the process glycolysis then the Kreb’s

Cellular Respiration Photosynthesis Organelles Mitochondria Chloroplast Organelle Structures The double-membraned mitochondrion can be loosely described as a large wrinkled bag packed inside of a smaller‚ unwrinkled bag. The two membranes create distinct compartments within the organelle‚ and are themselves very different in structure and in function. Two membranes contain and protect the inner parts of the chloroplast. The stroma is an area inside of the chloroplast where reactions occur and starches

energy production. They are also the responsible location for which respiration takes place. Mitochondria contain enzymes that help convert food material into adenosine triphosphate (ATP)‚ which can be used directly by the cell as an energy source. Mitochondria tend to be concentrated near cellular structures that require large inputs of energy‚ such as the flagellum. The role of the mitochondria is very important in respiration. In the presence of oxygen‚ pyruvate or fatty acids‚ can be further

Mashrek International School Investigate the Factors that Affect the Rate of Respiration in Yeast. (Temperature) Fawzi El Ansari Biology HL Title: Investigate the Factors that Affect the Rate of Respiration in Yeast. (Temperature) Aim: The aim of this experiment is to investigate the effect of changing the temperature on the rate of respiration in yeast. This will be done by placing equal amounts of yeast in each beaker that contains the same pH solution. Each beaker will be mixed with glucose

Biology Fermentation Practical "A comparison of the respiration of yeast in different sugar substrates" Aim: The aim was to compare the respiration of yeast in different substrates of sugars‚ i.e. between a monosaccharide (glucose) and a disaccharide (maltose) Theory: There are three types of Carbohydrates‚ monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ and polysaccharides. The two‚ which I will be looking at‚ are‚ monosaccharide (glucose) and the disaccharide (maltose) Classification and major properties of
Premium Disaccharide Glucose Enzyme
Cellular respiration is the process of breaking down chemical energy‚ most commonly glucose and oxygen‚ for use in the body as ATP with the release of water and carbon dioxide as bi-products (Mauseth‚ 2014). This process can be observed by careful analysis of the metabolic rate which is the total amount of energy released by an organism per unit mass. The respiratory quotient (R.Q) is the ratio of CO2 molecules lost per O2 molecules consumed which can be used to determine the efficiency of the metabolic

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 cellular respiration? In Photosynthesis light energy along with carbon dioxide are used to make molecules or (food energy). In Cellular Respiration food energy is broken down to form ATP. 3. Why is photosynthesis important to you? Photosynthesis is important because plants‚ bacteria‚ and small animals use photosynthesis
