“Respiration” and “Photosynthesis” All life depends on two chemical reactions “Respiration” and “Photosynthesis”. These two processes are quite crucial because they are a source to nearly all life on Earth. Both of these processes are quite similar yet differentiate vastly. In this essay I’ll be comparing and contrasting “Photosynthesis” and “Respiration”. I’ll start by discussing what actually happens
Premium Photosynthesis Carbohydrate
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

Cellular Respiration OVERALL EQUATION: C6H12O6(aq) + 6O2(g) -> 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) 3 OVERALL GOALS: 1. Break bonds between the 6-carbon molecules of glucose – results in 6 CO2 molecules 2. Move hydrogen atom electrons from glucose to O2‚ forms 6 H2O molecules 3. Trap as much free energy released as possible in the form of ATP Stage 1: Glycolysis Cytoplasm‚ 10 reactions‚ anaerobic Stage 2: Pyruvate Oxidation Mitochondrial matrix‚ 1 step process Stage 3: The Krebs Cycle Mitochondrial

Lab 8 Cellular Respiration and Fermentation Objectives: 1. Observe the effects of cellular respiration on temperature in a closed system. 2. Investigate carbon dioxide production in both germinating pea seeds and crickets. 3. Perform an investigative study of the rate of cellular respiration in both pea seeds and crickets at various temperatures. 4. Compare the alcoholic fermentation of glucose‚ sucrose‚ and starch by yeast. Introduction All organisms must have a continual

Sarwal AP Lab 4 Determining the rate of Cellular Respiration Using Germinating and Dry Peas Purpose: To determine the rate of cellular respiration using dry and germinating peas. Introduction: In this lab‚ we are investing cellular respiration‚ specifically aerobic cellular respiration. Aerobic cellular respiration is the process by which cells consume oxygen during the oxidation of glucose and produce CO2 as a byproduct. During cellular respiration‚ glucose is split into a 6 carbon sugar‚ G3P

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

- Cellular Respiration Assignment - 1. What two molecules are formed when a phosphate is removed from ATP? There are three phosphate groups in ATP molecule (Adenosine Triphosphate)‚ when removing one phosphate molecule‚ ADP molecule is formed (Adenosine Diphosphate). 2. What is the function of ATP? Describe the molecule. The function of ATP is storing energy within a cell. ATP is adenosine triphosphate‚ C10H16N5O13P3‚ a high energy complex‚ giving the necessary power to push metabolistic

1. Draw a picture of a mitochondrion. Label the inner membrane‚ outer membrane‚ cristae‚ intermembrane space and matrix. 2. What are other names for the acetyl co-A formation stage? 3. Why are mitochondria often called the “powerhouses” of the cell? 4. Where in the cell does acetyl co-A formation occur? 5. What has to happen to the end product of glycolysis before the Krebs cycle will take place? 6. What molecule is found at the beginning of acetyl co-A formation? 7. a. How is pyruvic acid

Cellular Respiration is part of the metabolism of organisms‚ it provides the energy for organisms’ basic life activity. The process of cellular respiration converts oxygen and water to glucose and carbon dioxide‚ and usually occurs inside of mitochondria. Thus the cellular respiration is closely related to the life of all organisms‚ especially the human. In a case study in cellular respiration‚ seven unrelated people died in five days‚ and the reason is unclear. However‚ all the victim had same

Cellular Respiration My hypothesis for the germinated pea experiment was that the level of aerobic respiration would increase as the temperature would increase. I also predicted that there would be an upper temperature limit. The experiment proved part of my hypothesis correct and part of it incorrect. I was correct in predicting that the rate would increase as the temperature increase‚ but I was incorrect in hypothesizing that there would be an upper limit. My hypothesis for the larvae experiment
