Photosynthesis and Respiration Objectives: In this activity we will review the process of photosynthesis and cellular respiration‚ and become familiar with the use of a pH indicator for investigating these processes. Following this activity your group will generate a new research question about photosynthesis or respiration‚ and utilize the pH indicator system for the experiment that your group will design‚ implement and interpret. Introduction: Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and

In this lab‚ the class tested the effect of temperature on the rate of fermentation in yeast by measuring the height of CO2 produced in a graduated cylinder at varying degrees Celsius. Yeast can perform cellular respiration and fermentation‚ the first needing oxygen (aerobic) and the second not (anaerobic). Cellular respiration is the normal way human bodies’ make energy‚ but when lacking oxygen‚ cells undergo fermentation‚ which creates less energy than respiration‚ CO2‚ and lactic acid (though

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

Cellular Respiration In this lab the effects of different substrates on the rate of cellular respiration is being put to a test which is a very interesting experiment. The three major substrate solutions being used for this experiment are glucose‚ maltose‚ and alanine. The issues this experiment addresses are cellular respiration occur in different stages which are glycolysis‚ citric acid cycle‚ and fermentation. In this lab the experiment determines the effect of different substrates on

process of respiration happens in many organisms and species. For the lab study that we are going to conduct I choose Yeast as my organism. First off Yeast is a microscopic fungus consisting of single oval cells that reproduce by budding or fission (is the splitting of an atom)‚ and capable of converting sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide. When making your own bread‚ you can buy yeast in the grocery store. The yeast contains little brown grains that will carry out cellular respiration and grow when

ANAEROBIC AND AEROBIC METABOLISM Lab 5 BCEM 341 – Winter 2014 Nebojsa Kuljic 10066717 Partner: Kendra Skalyn B02 Introduction Cells of all organisms can obtain energy through the combustion of sugars‚ either in the presence of oxygen (Aerobically) or without oxygen (Anaerobically). The purpose of this experiment was to perform a quantitative investigation of the differences between Anaerobic and Aerobic metabolism using pea seedlings and yeast organisms [1]. Aerobically

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
Premium Oxygen Carbon dioxide Cellular respiration
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

Cellular Energetics: The Rate of Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis over Time Among Various Variables By: Ethan Barnett Introduction Cellular Energetics is the broad term that encompasses both cellular respiration and photosynthesis and refers to how energy changes and reacts within cells. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down sugars (ATP) in order to produce energy for other chemical reactions. Cellular respiration takes place mainly in the mitochondria and the reactants

Yeast Population Lab Report During this experiment we were trying to determine how food availability affects CO2 production (related to population growth). We investigated how one factor influences the change in yeast population growth as measured by the amount of carbon dioxide produced. The yeast that you buy in the store contains living organisms–invisible small one celled‚ microorganisms. As long as they are kept dry‚ they are inactive. When they are given food‚ moisture and warmth‚ they
