Cellular Respiration In Germinating Peas

Improved Essays
My group was assigned with seeds that have been germinated for 72 hours. The purpose of this experiment was to study cellular respiration in germinating peas at room temperature versus non-germinating peas at room temperature, versus germinating peas cold, by measuring and comparing their consumption of O2 and CO2. We compared the cellular respiration rate of germinating and non-germinating peas. Additionally, we observed how temperature affects cellular respiration by manipulating the temperatures of the water bath, and comparing the cellular respiration rate between the germinated peas at room temperature and the germinated peas in the cold water

    I’m aware that all exercise is not created equal and this is where aerobic and anaerobic exercise come in. Although the two may differentiate, both burn fat as well as boost metabolism. During aerobic exercise, oxygen is carried through our breath to the muscles giving them sufficient intake of energy needed to sustain long periods of light activity without needing to take energy from another source. During anaerobic exercise, there is no oxygen being carried to the muscles, therefore these activities occur over shorter periods of time. The demand on the muscles causes the muscles to break down sugars, resulting in higher lactic acid production.…

    The carrying capacity of Wisconsin Fast Plants (Brassica Rapa) in a 2-liter bottle growing environment Introduction In this lab we conducted an experiment in which we created a habitat in which plants grown; We will determine if the plants will grow successfully in this habitat. We will plant “Wisconsin Fast Plant”seeds, also known as (Brassica Rapa). The Wisconsin Fast Plants are a small, fragile sized plant that has a short growing period and produces seeds at a high density. We will observe them as frequently as possible and record the heights each day we make observations.…

    My hypothesis that the germinated peas would consume more oxygen than the non-germinating peas was accepted. Looking at the results the germinated pea results of how much oxygen was consumed was much higher than the ungerminated peas. The hypothesis that the P. savitum would rise in oxygen consumptions as its temperature rose was accepted as well. Looking at the data and the line graph, it is clear that as each temperature got higher the amount of oxygen consumed went up as well. Most enzyme activity after 45ºC generally become denatured and can’t function properly.…

HYPOTHESIS: Cane Toads exposed to a warmer temperature will more times per minute compared to cane toads exposed to a cooler temperature. METHODS: 16 cane toads were kept at a constant temperature in an insulated container (two treatments: 8 in 25 degree Celsius and 8 in 15 degree Celsius temperate environments). Toads were then taken out, one by one, and placed in a grassy area where their body temperature was recorded using an infrared thermometer.…

    According to our results, we accept our alternative hypothesis, that the specific respiration rate of Triticum aestivum germinating seedlings that were incubated at 37°C was lower than that of the germinating seedlings kept at 25°C. Therefore, we reject our null hypothesis. Thus, we concluded that temperature has an effect on germinating wheat seedlings, in that the higher the temperature the lower the rate of respiration will be. Likewise, the colder the temperature the higher the rate of respiration will be.…

    To indicate that the photosynthesis has occured is when the leaf discs rise on the surface of solution. This means they had absorbed CO2 from Sodium Hydrogen and received light form the lamp. By using different distace between the lamp and the surface of table which are (10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35) cm. The distance will be measures as light intensity by using the formula (light intensity/average time) cm-2 s-1. The concept of this experiment is, CO2 is needed to be absorbed by the discs leaf in order for phothosynthesis to occurwhich the products will be glucose and oxygen.…
