Cellular respiration also known as oxidative metabolism is important to convert biochemical energy from nutrients in the cells of living organisms to useful energy known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Without cellular respiration living organisms would not be able to sustain life simply because nutrients would not metabolize in a productive manner. Cellular respirations was implemented in this laboratory by measuring the amount of O2 consumed/used by inserting respirometers that consisted of germinating and non-germinating peas into room temperature baths and low temperature baths. Evidently, in the respirometer that was placed in the room temperature bath and contained the germinating peas had the most O2 consumed. At 20 minutes a total of 0.16 mL of O2 was used. In addition, the usage increased throughout the 20 minute time span gradually from 0.11 to 0.16.
Introduction
Cell respiration is the means by which the cells of an organism extract energy stored in food and transfer that energy to molecules of ATP. The equation for this process is as follows:
C6H...
I should read the article more carefully. I answered O2 has nothing to do with cellular respiration and it is wrong. According to the article, page 5, O2 said cellular respiration requires both myself (O2) and glucose by facilitated diffusion. The correct answer is oxygen and glucose work together to produce ATP. ATP molecules are yield during cellular respiration.
This lab was done to determine the relationship of gas production to respiration rate. The lab was done with dormant pea seeds and germinating pea seeds. It was done to test the effect of temperature on the rate of cellular respiration in ungerminated versus germinating seeds. We had to determine the change in gas volume in respirometers. This was done to determine how much oxygen was consumed during the experiment. The respirometers contained either germinating, or non-germinating pea seeds. I think that the germinating seeds will have a higher oxygen consumption rate in a room temperature water bath than the non-germinating seeds. My reason for this hypothesis is that a dormant seed would not have to go through respiration because it is not a plant yet. A germinating seed would consume more oxygen because it is growing, and therefore would need to consume oxygen by going through the process of cellular respiration.
Aim: To measure the amount of oxygen takes in by the maggots and peas with the help of a respirometer in the experiment.
The first thing we did was create the Phenol Red Solution which was 20 ml of water and 8 drops of Phenol Red. Then we used a straw and exhaled into the solution and counted how many second it took for the color to change and we recorded that. Then we measured our heart and breathing rates by counting how many times we took a breath in one minute, and how many beats we had in 30 seconds. After this we exercised for 1 minute and repeated the steps from before, and recorded the results. Then we exercised for 2 minutes and repeated the steps from earlier and recorded those
Cellular respiration is a chemical reaction used to create energy for all cells. The chemical formula for cellular respiration is glucose(sugar)+Oxygen=Carbon Dioxide+Water+ATP(energy) or C6H12+6O2=6CO2+6H2O+ energy. So what it is is sugar and
Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are the two most important processes that animal and plant cells supply themselves with energy to carry out their life cycles. Cellular respiration takes glucose molecules and combines it with oxygen. This energy results in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), with carbon dioxide and water that results in a waste product. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and combines it with water,
Cellular respiration is a series of metabolic reactions, in which cells of most organisms carry out to produce energy. Yeast are single-celled organisms, classified in the Fungi family, that carry out this process, converting sugar, as a source of energy, and oxygen to create adenosine tripohosphate (ATP) for other chemical reactions. If the yeast cell is in a situation when oxygen is not present, the cell will undergo fermentation, which produces carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol, aiding the baking of bread and making of wine.
Materials needed for the cellular respiration experiment were two chambers to trap the CO2, a scale,10 grams of germinated chickpeas, germinated black beans, germinated cranberry beans, germinated red kidney beans, as well as germinated mung beans and glass beans. A Pasco CO2 sensor as well as a computer with SPARKvue software are also required. This experiment contained an independent variable: type of beans and dependent variable: amount of carbon dioxide, this is important to note because it identifies which variables are being altered during the experiment as well as which are not. The independent variable being the species of germinated beans due to the amount of carbon dioxide emitted from each
Do you know how you are able to run long distances or lift heavy things? One of the reasons is cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is how your body breaks down the food you’ve eaten into adenosine triphosphate also known as ATP. ATP is the bodies energy its in every cell in the human body. We don’t always need cellular respiration so it is sometimes anaerobic. For example, when we are sleeping or just watching television. When you are doing activities that are intense like lifting weights or running, your cellular respiration becomes aerobic which means you are also using more ATP. Cellular respiration is important in modern science because if we did not know about it, we wouldn’t know how we are able to make ATP when we are doing simple task like that are aerobic or anaerobic.
Overview of Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis Written by Cheril Tague South University Online Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis are both cellular processes in which organisms use energy. However, photosynthesis converts the light obtained from the sun and turns it into a chemical energy of sugar and oxygen. Cellular respiration is a biochemical process in which the energy is obtained from chemical bonds from food. They both seem the same since they are essential to life, but they are very different processes and not all living things use both to survive ("Difference Between Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration", 2017). In this paper I will go over the different processes for photosynthesis and the processes for cellular respiration and how they are like each other and how they are essential to our everyday life.
Introduction: Respiration, commonly known as the inhalation, exhaling or breathing, has a little known definition. This is the definition that involves the cellular level of eukaryotic cells. Cellular respiration may best be described by the following equation: C6h1206+602-6CO2+6H20+36ATP. ATP is the energy needed for a cell to function as part of cellular respiration. ATP is needed to power the cell processes.
The overall concept that was covered by this lab was cellular respiration in peas. The lab was set up with two different types of peas, germinating and dry peas, and each respirometer was placed in two different temperatures, room temperature and an ice bath. By completing this lab, we were able to investigate how germination and temperature affects the rate of respiration. Overall, the germinating peas in the ice bath had consumed the most oxygen, consuming 0.42 mL of oxygen at the end of the 20 minutes and the dry peas in the ice bath had consumed the least, consuming -0.02 mL of oxygen at the end of the experiment. The germinating peas at room temperature were supposed to consume the most oxygen because cellular respiration is more optimal in germinating peas at higher temperatures. In lower temperatures, less respiration occurs, but when the temperature becomes too high it begins to decline. By completing this lab, it demonstrated the difference in oxygen consumed at different temperatures.
In some way, shape, or form energy is one of the several reasons why there is an existence of life on earth. Cellular respiration and Photosynthesis form a cycle of that energy and matter to support the daily functions that allow organisms to live. Photosynthesis is often seen to be one of the most important life processes on Earth. Photosynthesis is a process by which plants use the energy of sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose so other organisms can use it as food and energy. It changes light energy into chemical energy and releases oxygen. This way organisms can stay alive and have the energy to function. Chlorophyll is an organelle generally found in plants, it generates oxygen as a result too. As you can see without
TutorVista.com (2015), states that; “photosynthesis and cellular respiration are metabolic reactions that complete each other in the environment. They are the same reactions but occur in reverse. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water yield glucose and oxygen respiration, process glucose and oxygen yield carbon dioxide and water, catabolic pathway process which requires or contains molecular oxygen for the production of adenosine triphosphate. This three step aerobic respiration cycle occurs in the cytoplasm and in the organelles called mitochondria. Within this process, cells break down oxygen and glucose in its storable form called adenosine triphosphate or ATP. This cellular respiration or sometimes called an exothermic reaction is similar to a combustion type reaction whereby the cell releases energy in the form heat but at a much slower rate within a living cell. According to our text, Campbell Essential Biology with Physiology, (2010, pg. 94), cellular respiration is stated as “The aerobic harvesting of energy from food molecules; the energy-releasing chemical breakdown of food molecules, such as glucose, and the storage of potential energy in a form that cells can use to perform work; involves glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, the electron transport chain, and chemiosmosis”. It is also my understanding that it is possible for cellular respiration to take place without oxygen, which is called anaerobic respiration. In the anaerobic respiration process the glycosis step or sometimes referred to as the metabolic pathway process deferrers because the anaerobic condition produces
When humans consume plants, the carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins that are broken down through two forms of cellular respiration. The two processes of cellular respiration displayed in humans are anaerobic or aerobic. The deciding process used depends on the presence of oxygen. Cellular respiration converts the material into useable energy called ATP. ATP is the energy form that cells can use to perform their various functions and it can also be stored for later use. Without plants, none of this energy could be produced and the herbivores that humans consume would not exist.
