In this lab we compared fermentation rates under various conditions also known as anaerobic and cellular respiration with an aerobic process. Cellular respiration, is the method when food molecules are broken down from glucose to energy molecules known as ATP. As stated in lab manual BSC 2010L the equation formula is C_6 H_12 O_6+ 6O_2→6CO_2+6H_2 O+energy (including~ 36 ATP) (Upadhyaya, 2018). Fermentation, similar to cell respiration begins with glycolysis; it is the breakdown of glucose with the formation of pyruvate and two ATP molecules. There are two types of fermentation alcohol and lactic acid (Upadhyaya, 2018). Alcohol fermentation is the process when NADH (coenzyme), gives electrons to pyruvate which then produces ethanol. Lactic acid

    Cellular Respiration

    When there’s is a lack of oxygen, anaerobic respiration occurs. Anaerobic respiration occurs most often during vigorous and strenuous exercises. As the muscle runs out of oxygen, it quickly switches to lactate fermentation to create energy. The first step to anaerobic respiration is glycolysis which uses enzymes to break down glucose into other molecules, metabolizing energy in the process of doing so. To keep the metabolism going, fermentation produces the enzymes which are necessary to work, thus creating the by-product lactide acid.…

    Purpose and Background Cells divide in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is used to produce cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell for growth, asexual reproduction, or repair after injury. Cells that are produced by mitosis are diploid, meaning that they have two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. Meiosis is used to produce haploid cells that have only one set of chromosomes, a mix of chromosomes from both parents. Meiosis produces cells that are genetically unique from their parent cells.…

    Experiment 10 Respiration Lab

    The materials and apparatus used in this experiment were: a PC computer, IWX/214, LabScribe Software, SP-304 Spirometer, FH-300 Spirometer flow hear and plastic tubes. The regular set up of the apparatus and more details of the procedure can be found from the Lab Manual on laboratory # 10 respiration, which was used as a reference. After setting the computer software (LabScribe), and calibrating voltage to 22 L which was written in the spirometer black box, a test of the Spirometer was performed to make sure it was in the right position. (A spirometer is an apparatus for measuring the volume of air inspired and expired by the lungs.) It was tested by recording one person breath on the software and observed the waves in the lung volume screen.…

    Cellular Metabolism Lab Report

    The purpose of the cellular metabolism lab is to determine the effects of inhibitors and other variables on the rate of metabolism in the Krebs Cycle. Inhibitors compete with the substrate to bind to the enzyme, thus slowing down the production of FADH2. When the production of FADH2 is slowed down, the reaction will proceed too slowly for metabolic purposes. In this lab, the enzyme that was catalyzing the reaction was the bean extract. To mimic the FAD that is used in the Krebs cycle, we used 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol (DPIP).…

    Cray Fish Respiration Lab Report

    After performing this procedure, we obtain a clear definition and view of respiration, in addition to the production of carbon dioxide in organisms from two different kingdoms. A big difference existed betweem the production of carbon dioxide among each creature and that was clearly noticeable in our data. Animals rely heavily on oxygen gas which is the product outcome of Photosynthesis. In the other hand, plants need carbon dioxide and on this experiment the production of carbon dioxide lacked, mainly because Elodea was not allowed to photosynthesize due to the foil covering of the beaker. The Crayfish continued to respire because nothing really interrupted its respiration cycle.…

    How Does Temperature Affect The Rate Of Respiration In Yeast

    The balloon completely stood up with the amount of carbon dioxide inside of it. Again, the reasons these balloons were inflated was due to the amount of sugar contained within the sucrose itself. Fermentation is the chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms, typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat. When something is anaerobic it is relating to an absence of free oxygen. Aerobic is the opposite.…

    Oxidative phosphorylation is the aerobic process where carbohydrates, fats, and protein are broken down to produce ATP. On the other hand, glycolysis is an anaerobic process which means it does not use oxygen. This process converts glucose into pyruvate, then converted into acetyl CoA or lactate. If oxygen is not present or a very small amount, the lactic acid cycle begins and three molecules of ATP are produced. The end to this process causes soreness and fatigue.…

    Experiment 19 involves determining the fermentation type of various bacteria. Bacteria were inoculated in various sugar solutions: dextrose, sucrose or lactose. The solutions also contained phenol red indicator to detect whether fermentation occurred. After a 24 hour incubation period, results were gathered. A positive reaction for fermentation is shown by a change in the indicator from red to yellow due to a production of acidic byproducts.…

    Similar ones may not go under alcoholic fermentation, they may go under lactic fermentation, which occurs in animal cells, fungi, and other bacteria. There are critical words that will need to be known to follow this experiment, these words are easy to understand and again, are critical. First it’s necessary to have to understand some basic ATP production, starting with glycolysis, series of reactions that and receive energy from glucose by cutting it into two three-carbon molecules called pyruvic acid (Pyruvate). This process is ancient, being one of the first ways to produce energy for life, it produces a net worth of 2 ATP molecules. Fermentation has two processes, alcoholic and lactic, both of them are anaerobic.…

    Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration Lab Report

    Determining The Process of Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration Using Elodea and Yeast Introduction Photosynthesis is an essential process to life on earth, in which plants and other organisms use sunlight to create food from oxygen, and carbon dioxide. Cellular respiration is when energy in food is released and converted to ATP, which is then used as chemical energy to complete tasks within a cell. This process usually requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are similar in some areas and different in others. The purpose of both of the process is to produce energy, but they have different ways of achieving this goal.…

There are some evidences that proves that some of the eukaryotic organism lack this organelle but there is no true evidence which says that this specific organism completely lacks mitochondria. Mitochondria is also known as a power house of the living body cell. It stores energies in the cell and releases when its needed. Every organelle in Mitochondria have their own specific roles which helps in storing energy (See Figure 1 for details).…

    Introduction Every mammal uses their lungs to breathe, but not all lungs are the same. Considering the differences between males and females, it is likely that their lungs would be slightly different. But, would the males or the females have better lungs? The best way to figure out the solution to this question is to measure the vital capacity of both genders. The vital capacity is the amount of air that can be pushed out of the lungs voluntarily (Lung Capacity Measurement Lab Handout).…
