Aerobic respiration is the release of energy from glucose or another organic substrate in the presence of Oxygen. Strictly speaking aerobic means in air‚ but it is the Oxygen in the air which is necessary for aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration is in the absence of air. Here is a molecular model of a glucose molecule. You do not need to memorise the diagram for you GCSE exam‚ but it should help you to understand that a molecule of glucose contains six atoms of Carbon (shown in blue)‚ twelve

source of energy so cells use ATP as their immediate source of energy. * This conversion of glucose into ATP takes place during cellular respiration and there are 2 different forms of cellular respiration depending upon whether oxygen is available or not * Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces CO2‚ water and lots of ATP. * Aerobic has 4 stages: 1) Glycolysis – the splitting of the 6-carbon glucose molecule into 2 3-carbon molecule pyruvate molecules. 2) Link reaction

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

Aerobic respiration in yeast Research question: What was the effect of anaerobic respiration in different environments determined the increase in size of a dough by the temperature? Hypothesis: It is hypothesized that if the temperature increases the dough will become bigger and bigger. Independent variable: (change) • Temperature • Height of the dough Dependent variable: (doesn’t change) • Amount of vegetable oil • Time • Volume of yeast solution Control variables: Variable

Aerobic vs Anaerobic Respiration Aerobic RespirationAnaerobic Respiration Diffen › Science › Biology Cellular respiration is the set of the metabolic reactions and processes that take place in organisms’ cells to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP)‚ and then release waste products. It is one of the key ways a cell gains useful energy. Comparison chart Embed this chart Aerobic Respiration Anaerobic Respiration Definition Aerobic respiration uses

Cyanobacteria’s big advantage over other early life forms was their ability to perform photosynthesis. They contain a blue photo reactive pigment that can absorb the energy from the sunlight and use it to produce nutrients for the cell. During this process‚ water molecules are broken down into oxygen and hydrogen atoms which are then released in the air. In the very early days of life‚ Earth was populated only by anaerobic bacteria that didn’t need oxygen to survive. When cyanobacteria first made

Aerobic cellular respiration and oxygenic photosynthesis are two cellular processes that have evolved in similar ways. Cellular respiration is responsible for the process of ATP‚ meanwhile oxygenic photosynthesis is the process of turning light energy into food. It is evident that both of these processes have their own reactants‚ products‚ and biochemical pathways. Both of these processes have evolved from their primitive original state‚ but it is important to understand that oxygenic photosynthesis

their function. In photosynthesis and aerobic cellular respiration energy is being produced to cycle carbon between the functions. There is the function of maintaining life‚ helping aid chemical reactions‚ using the cell to help aid reation. All of these recycling processes help creates energy that is then in return used to aid their specific function. The life processes of nutrition and respiration are related to photosynthesis and Aerobic Cellular Respiration. All organisms use material from the

have heard the terms aerobics and anaerobic‚ but most people don’t know what those terms mean. These two terms refer to the presence and absence of oxygen. Our bodies cells choose to get the energy that they need using oxygen to fuel metabolism. During an aerobic activity the muscle cells can contract repeatedly without fatigue. During anaerobics the muscle cell doesn’t rely on oxygen to fuel the muscle contractions. It relies on its natural body chemicals. Aerobics is a low to moderate exercise

Effect of Boiling on the Rate of Aerobic Respiration of Germinating Peas Abstract Aerobic respiration is an enzyme mediated process during which glucose is used to make ATP to fuel the cells energy needs. Germination is one of such processes that make use of aerobic respiration and because certain factors can affect aerobic respiration‚ it would also affect germination. In this experiment‚ we examined the effects of boiling on the rate of aerobic respiration of germinating peas. Unboiled germinating
