[2nd paragraph] Its releasing energy. How is cellular respiration unlike combustion? The molecules from which we harvest energy give up their energy in a controlled fashion rather than all at once as what happens in a fire. What is the point of cellular respiration? To harvest electrons from organic compounds. What is ATP? Organic compounds such as glucose and use that energy to make a molecule. Copy the picture of its molecular formula, copy the web page address and put it next to the picture.

    Cellular Respiration

    Cellular Respiration Lab Report Wednesday 8:00 A.M. Lab March 2nd, 2005 I. Introduction In this lab we are measuring the amount of oxygen used in both germinating and non germinating peas. We are measuring the oxygen consumption by taking a reading of a respirometer submerged in two water baths. The first bath will be cold water and the second warm to determine the effect of temperatures on oxygen consumption. Our negative control will be glass beads to measure to increase or decrease in atmospheric pressure or temperature changes. There is a direct relationship between oxygen consumption and Carbon Dioxide produced, therefore the more O2 consumed the more CO2 produced. To keep the amount of CO2 produced from canceling out any pressure gained or lost from the consumption of CO2 we are adding KOH(Potassium Hydroxide) to the respirometers. Since the CO2 will be selectively removed the change in the volume of gas in the respirometer should be directly related to the oxygen consumed. In this experiment the germinating peas, in both water baths, should consume much more oxygen than the non-germinating peas or the glass beads, because germination has began thus accelerating cellular reactions and the rate of respiration. The cold water bath should slow the respiration down in all three respirometers.…

    Compare And Contrast Cellular Respiration And Photosynthesis

    NADH is more efficient, therefore if they are the ones shuttling the energy, the total ATP production will be closer to 32. While the first step of cellular respiration (Glycolysis) is a catabolism of carbon molecules, photosynthesis’s last step of the calvin cycle is anabolism of carbon molecules. Cellular respiration starts with Glycolysis in the cytosol, splitting the six carbon molecule into two pyruvate molecules, each consisting of three carbons. This process requires two ATP’s and eventually generates four ATP’s which results in a net of two ATP’s. Glycolysis also gains two NADH’s which are then shuttled as two FADH. NADH and FADH are high energy molecules that help make ATP. The next step is the Kreb cycle where each pyruvate is brought to the inner mitochondrial membrane and gives off NADH, FADH, and a little ATP. The next step is oxidative phosphorylation where electrons go through the electron transport chain and H+ protons are pumped out. The source of energy and source of electrons are carried by FADH and NADH from glucose. A concentration gradient is formed between the intermembrane space and inner…

    COURSE: FSB201 (CELL BIOLOGY) COURSE LECTURER: DR. NOUTCHA DATE : 7TH MARCH, 2013 INTRODUCTION Respiration is one of the characteristics of ALL LIVING THINGS. In the simplest terms, "respiration" simply means "breathing". But more formally, the term depends on what type of respiration been referred to. Essentially, "respiration" refers to gaseous exchange of unwanted carbon dioxide and much-needed oxygen for the body's use. In direct terms, oxygen is essential for life.…

    AP Biology Lab: Cellular Respiration

    In this lab we are testing how the process of cellular respiration is affected by temperature, and also how it is different between germinating and non-germinating peas. Cellular respiration is a catabolic process (breaks down organic material into usable cell energy) that produces ATP. The electron receivers are inorganic. Cellular respiration releases energy from organic material through chemical oxidation within the mitochondria of cells. Cellular respiration usually refers to the metabolizing of glucose, however carbohydrates, proteins and fats can also be metabolized.…

    Photosynthesis and Respiration

    In photosynthesis, light energy is transformed into chemical energy, thus chemical energy is the product. This is different from respiration because respiration transforms chemical energy into energy usable by cells; in this case chemical energy is the source. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts, using the chlorophyll inside of the chloroplasts, while respiration occurs in the mitochondria. Photosynthesis produces oxygen as a by-product, while aerobic respiration requires oxygen to even work. Photosynthesis produces NADPH2 in its workings, while aerobic respiration produces NADH+. Photosynthesis includes two processes, light reactions and dark reactions (Calvin Cycle). Aerobic respiration involves glycolysis, the Kreb's Cycle. The only process they have in common is the electron transport chain, which involves different molecules and transfers in aerobic respiration and photosynthesis.…

    Cellular Respiration Research Paper

    1 Two critical ingredients required for cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen. Cellular Respiration, process in which cells produce the energy they need to survive. In cellular respiration, cells use oxygen to break down the sugar glucose and store its energy in molecules of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Cellular respiration is critical for the survival of most organisms because the energy in glucose cannot be used by cells until it is stored in ATP. Cells use ATP to power virtually all of their activities—to grow, divide, replace worn out cell parts, and execute many other tasks. Cellular respiration provides the energy required for an amoeba to glide toward food, the Venus fly trap to capture its prey, or the ballet dancer to execute…

    Worksheet On Cellular Respiration

    Name: 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 or the bacteria that cause botulism in canned food), and occasionally animal cells must function without sufficient oxygen (as in running sprints). In this activity you will begin to look at the aerobic and anaerobic processes that are…

    2. The general redox reaction is XH2 + NAD+ → X + NADH + H+ . The purpose of transferring electrons is to produce NADH, which will be used in the electron transport chain to ship hydrogen ions onto the other side of the cristae membrane, to make a concentration gradient that will eventually be used to produce ATP. These redox reactions occur in almost all steps of cellular respiration, including glycolysis, “chemical grooming”, and the Krebs cycle. Without NADH produced, the electron transport chain couldn't function, which would jeopardize aerobic…

    How a Faster Pulse Rate After Exercise Affects the Amount of Carbon Dioxide in Breath and How Males and Females Pulse Rates Change or Don't After Exercise

    Introduction There is a chemical reaction that takes place in this lab, O2 + C6H12O6 –> H2O + CO2 + ATP. This represents cellular respiration, the reaction. The reactants are Oxygen and Glucose. The products are water, carbon dioxide, and ATP. This reaction is split into 3 stages, the Glycolysis stage, the Krebs cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain stage. The first stage happens in the cytoplasm, the last two stages are different they take place in the mitochondrion. Although all 3 stages produce a little ATP, there is one stage that makes more than the other and that is the Electron Transport Chain stage.…
