The total growth in balloon circumference for substance A was 7 centimeters, for substance B and salt the growth was 0 centimeters, and for sugar the total growth was 5.5 centimeters.
Apparatus:
Theory: The first step of cellular respiration is glycolysis. In glycolysis one phosphate molecule from one ATP and another phosphate molecule from another ATP break off each ATP and join the same six carbon sugar diphosphate. The two left over ATP become ADP because they lost a phosphate molecule. Next the six carbon sugar diphosphate split into two three carbon sugar phosphates. Lastly, two NAD+ turns into NADH which rearranges the way the electrons are carried. This causes the two phosphate molecules to break off of the 3 carbon sugar phosphates and join the four ADPs turning the ADPs into ATP again. Since the two phosphate molecules left the 3 carbon sugar

    Aerobic cellular respiration is a pivotal process in which organisms carry out in order to sustain life. It is characterized by the release of energy from organic compounds by means of chemical oxidation within the mitochondria of the cell. The reactants are glucose and oxygen, and after a series of complex steps, the products of carbon dioxide, water, and ATP + heat are released. Thus, cellular respiration is an exergonic process, since heat energy is released in order to do cellular work. The overall process can be encapsulated by the following equation: C6H12O6 + CO2 6CO2+ 6H2O+ 586 kilocalories of energy/mole of glucose oxidized. This reaction seems very straightforward, however there are numerous enzyme-mediated reactions that occur within it that are not so perceptible from the simplified equation. Cellular respiration consists of three major stages: The first is Glycolysis; (occurring in the cytosol) in which chemical energy is harvested by oxidizing glucose into two 3 carbon molecules of pyruvate, and thus producing a net of 2 ATP molecules through substrate-level phosphorylation, as well as a net of 2 NADH molecules. Subsequently, the Krebs Cycle commences after 2 pyruvate molecules are converted to 2 Acetyl CoA molecules in the intermembrane space of the mitochondria. During the Krebs Cycle (occurring in the mitochondrial matrix)4 CO2 molecules are released, 1 ATP molecule is formed (for each turn of the cycle), and the reduced forms of 6 NADH and 2 FADH carry the electrons to the next step: the Electron Transport Chain. This occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria, and consists of many electron carriers that pass electrons (donated by NADH and FADH2) along through a series of redox reactions. At the end of the chain, oxygen acts as a final electron acceptor and it reduced them to form water. A proton motive force, or H+ gradient,…

    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

    Glucose, or any carbon-based molecule, can be burned in oxygen (oxidized) to produce carbon dioxide and water. Combustion reactions release large amounts of energy. However, the energy release is uncontrolled. An organism would not be able to handle all that energy at once to do the work of the cell. Cellular respiration is essentially the same reaction as combustion, but the oxidation of glucose occurs in several controlled steps. The same amount of energy is ultimately released, but it is gradually released in small, controlled amounts. High potential energy molecules of ATP are produced while the carbon atoms are used to form various other molecules of lower potential energy. Each of these steps is catalyzed by an enzyme specific to that step. Model 1 illustrates the ideal circumstances for cellular respiration. In some situations, however, one glucose molecule may not result in 38 ATP molecules being…

    Cellular Respiration

    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.…

    Energy Transfers

    The nucleotide ATP (adenosine triphosphate) maintains both catabolic and anabolic reactions. Catabolic reactions e.g. respiration are where larger molecules are broken down into smaller ones with energy being released, and anabolic reactions e.g. photosynthesis are where smaller molecules are built up into larger ones which require energy. Catabolism provides the energy for organisms to synthesise larger molecules in its anabolic reactions. To release energy, ATP is hydrolysed into ADP and Pi (an inorganic phosphate) which releases energy that can be used for energy requiring reactions such as photosynthesis. However to maintain the organisms anabolic reactions, ATP must be continually synthesised by condensation reactions where ADP is added onto a phosphate molecule. This process is helped by energy transferred from catabolic reactions such as respiration and occurs in three ways: photophosphorylation, oxidative phosphorylation and substrate-level phosphorylation. Photophosphorylation takes place in chlorophyll- containing plant cells during photosynthesis, oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the mitochondria and animal cells during electron transport, and substrate- level phosphorylation occurs in plant and animal cells when phosphate groups are transferred from donor molecules to ADP to make ATP e.g. when pyruvate is formed at the end of glycolysis.…

    Cellular Respiration Lab Report

    Cellular respiration is an ATP-producing catabolic process in which the electron receiver is an inorganic molecule. It is the release of energy from organic compounds by chemical oxidation in the mitochondria within each cell. Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats can all be metabolized, but cellular respiration usually involves glucose: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + 686 Kcal of energy/mole of glucose oxidized. Cellular respiration involves glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis is a catabolic pathway that occurs in the cytosol and partially oxidizes glucose into two pyruvate (3-C). The Krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondria and breaks down a pyruvate (Acetyl-CoA) into carbon dioxide. These two cycles both produce a small amount of ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation and NADH by transferring electrons from substrate to NAD+. The Krebs cycle also produces FADH2 by transferring electrons to FAD. The electron transport chain is located at the inner membrane of the mitochondria and accepts energized electrons from enzymes that are collected during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, and…
