Cellular respiration is the process of breaking down chemical energy‚ most commonly glucose and oxygen‚ for use in the body as ATP with the release of water and carbon dioxide as bi-products (Mauseth‚ 2014). This process can be observed by careful analysis of the metabolic rate which is the total amount of energy released by an organism per unit mass. The respiratory quotient (R.Q) is the ratio of CO2 molecules lost per O2 molecules consumed which can be used to determine the efficiency of the metabolic

Analysis: In this lab we measured the rate of respiration of germinating mung beans and germinating peas at room temperature and 10 degrees Celsius. The rates of respiration at room temperature were higher than the rates of respiration in cold water. The reaction rate of the germinating peas at room temperature was .0125 ml/min and the reaction rate of the peas at 10 degrees Celsius was .0095 ml/min. The same is true for the germinating mung beans. At room temperature the rate of reaction was .0105

A Study of Cellular Respiration & Gas Production in Peas We conducted this lab in order to determine the relationship between gas production and the cellular respiration rate between germinating peas and dormant peas. Cellular respiration is the procedure of changing the chemical energy of organic molecules into a form of energy that can be used by cells called ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate). Cellular respiration is conducted in 3 processes: Glycolysis‚ Citric Acid Cycle‚ and Oxidative

Testing for Cellular Respiration by Balloon Inflation Experiment Number 2 Abstract: Through a timed test it was discovered which substance A or substance B contained glucose and when combined with yeast results in respiration; it was found that substance A contained glucose and resulted in respiration when combined with yeast. At 0 minutes all four balloon’s circumference was 9 centimeters; substance B and salt remained the same circumference‚ 9 centimeters‚ for

Glycolysis a series of biochemical reactions in which one glucose molecule is oxidized into two pyruvic acid molecules and a small amount of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Generation of high energy molecules are used as cellular energy sources in aerobic and anaerobic respiration. The products formed through glycolysis usually enter into the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain to produce more energy. Fructose enters the glycolytic pathway through the liver or skeletal muscle. For example

Photosynthesis is a process through which plants and some certain types of bacteria get energy from the sun’s UV-rays and use it to create and store sugar that is transformed into ATP by cellular respiration later on in the process. In plants‚ this process takes place in chloroplasts‚ which concentrate in the mesophyll cells‚ with the help of chlorophyll‚ the green pigment‚ which is directly involved in photosynthesis. It is important to understand that we see leaves green simply because the green

All green parts of a plant have chloroplasts. However‚ the leaves are the major site of photosynthesis for most plants. There are about half a million chloroplasts per square millimeter of leaf surface. The color of a leaf comes from chlorophyll‚ the green pigment in the chloroplasts. Chlorophyll plays an important role in the absorption of light energy during photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are found mainly in mesophyll cells forming the tissues in the interior of the leaf. O2 exits and CO2 enters

Photosynthesis Green plants absorb light energy using chlorophyll in their leaves. They use it to react carbon dioxide with water to make a sugar called glucose. The glucose is used in respiration‚ or converted into starch and stored. Oxygen is produced as a by-product. This process is called photosynthesis. Temperature‚ carbon dioxide concentration and light intensity are factors that can limit the rate of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis summary Photosynthesis [photosynthesis: The chemical change
