Balloon Respiration Lab Introduction/ Background Cellular respiration is a process that releases chemical energy from glucose and other carbon-based molecules to produce ATP when oxygen is present. The formula for cellular respiration is C6H12O6+ 6O2= 6CO2= 6H2O. The process of respiration contains three main parts‚ glycolysis‚ Krebs cycle‚ and the Electron Transport Chain. The process of glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm and is considered an anaerobic process which splits glucose into two

The two constant variables in this experiment were the volume‚ 250 mL of water‚ and the time‚ 40 minutes‚ checking every 10 minutes. This experiment was performed to determine the optimal conditions for when osmosis and diffusion occur.
