Benjamin Tiger1/16/12 Cellular Respiration Questions 1. Aerobic pathways require oxygen‚ while anaerobic pathways don’t. Anaerobic pathways only require the process of glycolysis to produce energy. Anaerobic pathways are found outside the mitochondria within the cytoplasm of the cell‚ with a low efficiency of 4%. These pathways require glucose‚ ATP‚ adolase‚ fructokinase‚ dehydrogenase‚ and NAD+. Out of one glucose molecule‚ major products include two net ATP‚ two NADH‚ and two pyruvate

Abstract The experiment aims to observe if simpler substrates makes the rate of cellular respiration faster. Using yeast‚ smith fermentation tubes and different substrates namely‚ starch‚ lactose‚ sucrose‚ glucose and fructose‚ which are from different kinds of carbohydrates‚ ranging from the simplest sugars glucose and fructose to the polysaccharide starch and water as the control‚ the hypothesis was tested. With the span of thirty minutes with five-minute intervals‚ the height of carbon dioxide

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

between the processes of aerobic respiration and photosynthesis. To start‚ aerobic respiration can be defined as a biochemical pathway through which chemical bond energy is released from food and changed into ATP. On the other hand‚ photosynthesis is manufacturing of carbohydrates out of CO2 and the splitting of water in the presence of light. Photosynthesis and aer. respiration can be the same in many ways. For instance‚ both of them contain cycles. In photosynthesis‚ there is the Calvin cycle‚ and

Steps to Study Aerobic Cellular Respiration The mitochondrion made ATP How does the mitochondrion make ATP? Glycolysis breaks down a glucose molecule Pyruvate is created via Glycolysis The acetyl CoA is produced from Pyruvate Citric acid comes from acetyl CoA and Oxaloacetate Citric acid was the starting molecule for the Krebs cycle The NADH and the FADH2 were generated by the Krebs cycle Oxidative Phosphorylation involves electron transport chain (ETC) and Chemiosmosis

rate of cellular respiration will be affected if we change the food source from glucose to three different experimental variables (fructose‚ sucrose‚ lactose). Cellular Respiration is a process that generates ATP and it involves the complete breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide and water. Carbohydrates‚ fats‚ and proteins can all be used as fuels in cellular respiration‚ but glucose is most commonly used as an example to examine the reactions and pathways involved. Cellular Respiration can be divided

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

Cellular Respiration—An Overview All cells need energy all the time‚ and their primary source of energy is ATP. The methods cells use to make ATP vary depending on the availability of oxygen and their biological make-up. In many cases the cells are in an oxygen-rich environment. For example‚ as you sit and read this sentence‚ you are breathing in oxygen‚ which is then carried throughout your body by red blood cells. But‚ some cells grow in envi¬ronments without oxygen (yeast in wine-making

Cellular Respiration: Using the Vernier LabQuest to detect CO2 gas production in germinating peas DESIGN Research Question: What is the effect of temperature on CO2 gas production in germinating peas? Background: The process of cellular respiration‚ which provides energy for cell growth and development‚ is an important part of life in germinating seeds. It converts the chemical energy of glucose into ATP. As a germinating seed respires‚ CO2 is produced as a byproduct. Therefore‚ the amount

This scientific report will be based on cellular respiration‚ or fermentation. In specific‚ how the type of sugar affects the rate of fermentation. The aim of this experiment was to find which type of sugar was best suited to produce ethanol. In the experiment‚ four different sugars were used‚ they included sucrose‚ glucose‚ lactose and fructose. This research is still relevant today‚ as alcohol is still consumed and is required on a large scale. This makes it crucial to companies to find the best
