Cellular respiration is defined as an enzyme mediated process in which organic compounds such as glucose is broken down into simpler products with the release of energy (Duka‚ Diaz and Villa‚ 2009). It is a series of metabolic processes and oxidation-reduction reactions. Oxidation of substrates‚ such as glucose‚ is a fundamental part of cellular respiration (Mader‚ 2009). As a catabolic process‚ it may or may not require the presence of oxygen. The process that requires oxygen is called aerobic

oD 4.1 Respiration Why organisms undergo respiration What is respiration and why do we need it? Respiration is the process whereby energy is released from food molecules (most usually glucose). It takes place inside living cells‚ both eukaryotic and prokaryotic. The process takes place inside the cytoplasm and the mitochondria. Energy is used to synthesise adenosine triphosphate (ATP)‚ which acts as a short-term energy store in cells. All living organisms need energy to drive their

Done by: Instructor: Introduction Respiration is the number of processes which leads to the oxidation of organic compounds to produce the energy. There are several types of respiration‚ and one of them is aerobic. During the aerobic respiration‚ human uses the oxygen from atmosphere and produce carbon dioxide. A cardiorespiratory system which includes lungs‚ heart‚ blood vessels and others is responsible for all the processes linked to the respiration and controlled by the nervous system. During

Mealworms and Caffeine Caffeine is the most commonly used stimulant in the United States. In North America‚ sixty to seventy five percent of caffeine consumption comes from coffee and fifteen percent to thirty percent comes from tea. It can be found in a variety of forms including: coffee‚ tea‚ chocolate‚ soft drinks. Caffeine is a part of a family of drugs known as methylxanthines.To work‚ caffeine disrupts the neurotransmitter adenosine. Caffeine is known to cause physical dependence in humans

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

around the plant as needed. The mesophyll cells have chloroplasts and this is where photosynthesis occurs. Respiration can be defined as the oxidation of the end products of glycolysis with the storage of the energy in the form of ATP. Cellular respiration occurs when oxygen is available‚ and the products are carbon dioxide and water. There are three main pathways in the cellular respiration process. These are: pyruvate oxidation‚ the citric acid cycle‚ and the respiratory chain. Pyruvate oxidation

Effect of Substrate Choice On Growth Of Mealworms Abstract: The experiment is designed to show which substrate A or B will better nourish a mealworm. A mealworm was placed in each substrate for a period of seven days and the change in mass from Day 1 to Day 7 was compared. The data was compiled and statistically analyzed. The experiment failed to reject the null hypotheses that there would be no difference in the two substrates regarding meal worm growth

They eat dry leaves‚ grass‚ dead insects and other animals. They will not eat sound wood. They carry a disease called gastrointestinal infestations‚ which is highly dangerous when consumed by humans. They are yellow mealworm for only a short 6 to 18 days. Mealworms are more likely to be in the northern cooler states. They are believed to be

cannot be used as directly by cell as a 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
