Discussion The purpose of this experiment was to determine if splitting a bean would affect its rate of respiration. Splitting a bean does not impact its rate of respiration. This is shown in the data‚ while the average rate of respiration for Whole beans is 1.35 and the rate of respiration for 1.16‚ the standard error of the mean is .15. Because the standard error of the mean is so high‚ they overlap in both of the data sets‚ which shows that the data is very similar. This is better shown in the

proportional to the intense of the respiration process that was taking place (Doltar et al.‚ 249). This means that there was high rate of respiration at a temperature of 30°C test tube as compared with the other three test tubes. The optimum temperature for enzyme activity is usually between 35-37°C (Burchfield‚ 303). At this temperature the enzyme activity is maximum and thus the rate of respiration is very high at this temperature. This is the reason why the rate of respiration was very high at the range

Evidence of Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process during which a plant’s chlorophyll traps light energy and sugars (glucose) are produced. In plants‚ photosynthesis occurs only in cells with chloroplasts. Water (H2O)‚ carbon dioxide (CO2) and light energy are required. The light energy is absorbed by the green pigment‚ chlorophyll‚ and is converted into chemical energy‚ which causes the water drawn from the soil to split into molecules of hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen combines with

Benjamin Tiger1/16/12 Cellular Respiration Questions 1. Aerobic pathways require oxygen‚ while anaerobic pathways don’t. Anaerobic pathways only require the process of glycolysis to produce energy. Anaerobic pathways are found outside the mitochondria within the cytoplasm of the cell‚ with a low efficiency of 4%. These pathways require glucose‚ ATP‚ adolase‚ fructokinase‚ dehydrogenase‚ and NAD+. Out of one glucose molecule‚ major products include two net ATP‚ two NADH‚ and two pyruvate

References | PAGE | 1.0 Introduction Respiration usually occurs in two ways‚ aerobically and anaerobically. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to function and anaerobic respiration functions without oxygen. Generally‚ anaerobic respiration starts by breaking down the molecules of glucose and produces pyruvic acid. The pyruvic acid then undergoes fermentation to produce ATP‚ the basic energy source in our human body. Although this kind of respiration is less efficient in producing energy‚ because

Goldfish Respiration Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to tests the effects of temperature on the respiration (breathing) rate of goldfish. In order to determine the goldfish respiration change adding small amounts of crushed ice to the water‚ than behavior will be noted. Then‚ the goldfish will experience the same experiment four more times and be noted again. This experiment will be conducted with four students‚ one goldfish‚ a 250 mL and a 150 mL beaker‚ thermometer‚ crushed ice‚

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

germination of a seed affected by sunlight?” Experimental Hypothesis: We believe these results will occur. 1. The seeds that are water deprived (1 mL of H2O a day) will not grow very well due to a lack of water which is important in photosynthesis and also lacks nutrients. The seeds may also die off due to a lack of water. 2. The seeds that are have a proper amount of water (10 mL of H2O a day) will grow the best and achieve the greatest height‚ and overall best appearance.

between light intensity and photosynthesis that could normally be seen had the experiment taken place without errors. The graph should show an increase in arbitrary units the further away from the light source the beaker is because the greater the distance from the light source‚ the lower the light intensity and so less photosynthesis would take place in the algal balls. This would result in more CO2 being present because it wouldn’t be being used up during photosynthesis. The decrease in CO2 in the

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
