consists of several organs such as the trachea‚ lungs‚ larynx‚ pharynx‚ etc. All of these organs work together to help us breathe and are formed to their function. There is two different ways of respiration; external respiration which is the exchange of gases between the alveoli and the blood‚ and internal respiration which is the exchange of gases between the blood and tissue cells. The first step in the respiratory system is inhaling hair through the nasal cavity‚ which is the primary external opening

Discussion The purpose of this experiment was to determine if splitting a bean would affect its rate of respiration. Splitting a bean does not impact its rate of respiration. This is shown in the data‚ while the average rate of respiration for Whole beans is 1.35 and the rate of respiration for 1.16‚ the standard error of the mean is .15. Because the standard error of the mean is so high‚ they overlap in both of the data sets‚ which shows that the data is very similar. This is better shown in the

proportional to the intense of the respiration process that was taking place (Doltar et al.‚ 249). This means that there was high rate of respiration at a temperature of 30°C test tube as compared with the other three test tubes. The optimum temperature for enzyme activity is usually between 35-37°C (Burchfield‚ 303). At this temperature the enzyme activity is maximum and thus the rate of respiration is very high at this temperature. This is the reason why the rate of respiration was very high at the range

system is to supply the body with oxygen and dispose of carbon dioxide. In order for this to happen‚ at least four events called respiration must occur. The first is the pulmonary ventilation. The air must move in and out of the lungs so that the gases in the alveoli are continuously refreshed. This process is better known as “breathing”. Next is external respiration‚ when a gas exchange between the alveoli and the pulmonary blood must take place. Then there is respiratory gas transport‚ where

HOW AND WHY DO WE BREATHE REFERENCES: I. Essay pp. 3-5 II. References p. 6 The diaphragm is a muscle in the chest cavity that contracts and relaxes according to signals received by the respiratory center in the brain. In doing so‚ the diaphragm changes the pressure in the cavity. When the diaphragm contracts‚ it increases the volume of the chest cavity and lowers the air pressure‚ thus‚ air rushes in. This is called inhalation. Exhalation is caused by the relaxation

Analyzing the differences in carbon dioxide output in the field cricket (Gryllus bimaculotus) and house cricket (Acheta domestica). Discussion In the experiment‚ the field cricket (Gryllus bimaculotus) and house cricket (Acheta domestica) were tested for their carbon dioxide output. The results showed that the field cricket produced significantly more carbon dioxide than the house cricket. As a species that flies‚ exists outdoors and is larger than the house cricket‚ it follows that the field

Goldfish Respiration Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to tests the effects of temperature on the respiration (breathing) rate of goldfish. In order to determine the goldfish respiration change adding small amounts of crushed ice to the water‚ than behavior will be noted. Then‚ the goldfish will experience the same experiment four more times and be noted again. This experiment will be conducted with four students‚ one goldfish‚ a 250 mL and a 150 mL beaker‚ thermometer‚ crushed ice‚
