Photosynthesis and cellular respiration play significant roles in existence of all living organisms on the planet. Supplying energy to the cells they carry out is the main process called life. Photosynthesis is the process by which several living organisms such as plants and bacteria utilize sunlight and several raw materials such as carbon dioxide and water to produce sugars and release oxygen into the atmosphere. It does not only supplies oxygen which required for human life but it is also the

Chapter 7 and 8 discuss and give in depth details on photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They are the exact opposites in what they set out to complete in the cells of a leaf. Photosynthesis takes light energy and separates it in the chloroplasts to create glucose. Cellular respiration breaks down glucose to provide energy for the cell. The similarities between them include overlap in some of the enzymes and products and reactants utilized. The differences include the cycles and steps taken to

energy production. They are also the responsible location for which respiration takes place. Mitochondria contain enzymes that help convert food material into adenosine triphosphate (ATP)‚ which can be used directly by the cell as an energy source. Mitochondria tend to be concentrated near cellular structures that require large inputs of energy‚ such as the flagellum. The role of the mitochondria is very important in respiration. In the presence of oxygen‚ pyruvate or fatty acids‚ can be further

Cellular Respiration Project Objective Answers 1. The overall equation for Cellular Respiration is 6O2 + C6H12O6 6H2O + 6CO2 + energy. Overall‚ it is the reverse reaction of photosynthesis‚ but chemically‚ the steps involved are very different. All you have to do is just flip both sides of the equation of photosynthesis‚ and you have the opposite‚ which is the equation for cellular respiration. They are reversible chemical reactions‚ meaning that the products of one process are the exact

Title: Showing Cellular Respiration through Alcoholic Fermentation Abstract: The experiment was conducted to determine the impact different yeast amounts had on yeast fermentation. It was hypothesized that the more yeast added the more CO2 would be produced. The carbon dioxide production was measured in the fermentation of yeast with solution of no yeast in test tube 1‚ 1mL yeast in test tube 2‚ and 3mL of yeast in test tube 3 over a period of twenty minutes. All of the yeast amounts produced

AP BIOLOGY Lab 5 Cellular Respiration Objective: To calculate the rate of CR from the data. To then relate gas production to respiration rate. Then test the rate of CR in germinating versus non-germinating seeds in a controlled experiment and then test the effect of temperature on the rate of CR in the germinating versus non-germinated seeds in a controlled experiment. Analysis: 1. The CR is higher in the germinating peas in the cold water rather than in the beads or non-germinating peas

Compare & Contrast C-E-R Paper Photosynthesis is the process that captures energy from sunlight and make sugars to store for chemical energy‚ whereas cellular respiration is the process that releases chemical energy from sugars and other carbon-based molecules to make ATP when oxygen is present. In addition‚ cellular respiration takes place in both plant and animal cells while photosynthesis only takes place in plant cells‚ but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s less important to animals in the long

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

fermentation (anaerobic) or respiration (aerobic). Both of these processes involve oxidation of foodstuffs‚ yet only the latter requires oxygen. Cellular respiration is a very complex process that consists of many steps that take place inside the cell‚ in an organelle called a mitochondrion. Mitochondria are responsible for converting digested nutrients into the energy-yielding molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to fuel the cell’s activities. This function‚ known as aerobic respiration‚ is the reason mitochondria

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
