Disadvantages Of Anaerobic Respiration

Decent Essays
1.A. Cellular respiration (aerobic respiration)- process of harvesting energy from food molecules. In other words, the energy-releasing chemical breakdown of food molecules, and storage of potential energy which cells can use.

B. Fermentation (anaerobic respiration)- A pathway that converts the pyruvate formed during glycolysis into alcohol or lactic acid.

2. A. Glycolysis- when a 6-carbon sugar molecule glucose is split into 2 3-carbon molecules of pyruvate. During the first stage of glycolysis, two molecules of ATP are required to split glucose into intermediate three-carbon molecules called glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P). After several additional steps, G3P is converted into pyruvic acid during the second stage.

9. I believe some peas produced carbon dioxide while others didn’t because of germination. CO2 is a product of germination, some of the peas weren 't germinating producing no CO2. Lastly, some of the peas produced CO2 because there was enzyme activity.

A. anaerobic respiration.

B. One advantage of anaerobic respiration, is it allows a cell to produce the energy needed with the absence of oxygen.

C. I believe carbon dioxide is produced.

12. A. 554.41

B. 37.13

C. 33.10

D. 248.35

E. 37.14

F. 263.95

13. Sugars are best for yeast.

14. Salt and lemon juice was the worst for yeast.

15. I believe the ingredients that negatively affect the growth of yeast are lemon juice, salt, and perhaps milk.

16. I believe the type of fermentation that yeast uses is alcoholic fermentation.

17. Fermentation is used for making beer as well as bread.

18. When cellular respiration doesn’t work right, certain diseases may occur. For example, tumor cells go through a process known as aerobic glycolysis. What this means is lactic acid is produced during this process, much like fermentation, except the process includes oxygen. Fermentation can be seen in the dental field in the form of tooth decay. Tooth decay can be caused by fermentable carbohydrates, which break down sugars in the mouth. The bacteria then turns these sugars into acids, which will cause tooth decay over

    I predict also a higher rep count during stage 1 (aerobic exercise) as a pose to during stage 2 (anaerobic exercise). Cellular respiration is the process of energy production and consumption within the body and during cellular respiration there are many bonds being broken of sugars and ATP. I felt warmer after lifting the dumbbell because whenever a bond is broken, energy is released in the form of heat as a by-product to normal energy. Oxygen is a vital part to cellular respiration and oxidative phosphorylation because without it there would be no hydrogen ions being pumped across to form ATP. In aerobic respiration, approximately 30 ATP’s are created whereas in anaerobic only 2 are created because of the lack of oxygen.…

    Demonstration of Cellular Respiration Inside Lima Beans Cells in Vitro Purpose: Cellular respiration is a series of metabolic reactions that take place in the mitochondria and produce chemical energy in the form of ATP by the breakdown of food molecules. There are three processes involved in cellular respiration; glycolysis, the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain. During this processes, glucose is oxidized by a series of redox reactions and its electrons and hydrogen ions are donated to two electron carriers called NAD+ and FAD.…

    Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is a nucleic acid present in organisms with the primary function of providing energy. It is comprised of three phosphate groups with one adenosine attached and releases energy by being hydrolysed into Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP), therefore one bond is broken and a phosphate molecule is lost. ATP can only be reproduced through phosphorylation which results in the addition of one phosphate to Adenosine Diphosphate. ATP must be regenerated in order to allow an organism to function correctly and this process requires energy which is provided by the oxidation of carbohydrates and fats. The production of ATP occurs in the mitochondria of animals and the chloroplasts of plants.…

    In this lab, we should expect changes in the rate of cellular respiration based on the available fuel source in the different seeds. We know that aerobic respiration requires oxygen gas and an organic molecule, and produces carbon dioxide, water, and energy. The goal of cellular respiration is to harvest ATP. However, the carbon dioxide can be measured using a gas sensor. Since we know that more reactants generally equals more products, more organic molecules should result in more carbon dioxide, thus, increasing the rate of cellular respiration.…

    Adria Bollendorf CH-213 Cellular Respiration Level 3 analysis All cells in the body have a need for a source of energy to function. Cellular respiration is a specific set of metabolic relations that occur in cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy as ATP and release products. The reactions of cellular respiration are glycolysis, pyruvate metabolism, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain (ETC). The pathways are either aerobic meaning they need oxygen to occur or anaerobic meaning they don’t need oxygen to occur. Glucose is a simple sugar that is used as an energy source for many living organisms.…

    The hypothesis that was tested in this experiment was that both strains of brewer’s yeast will grow better in fermentable sugars (sucrose) than in non-fermentable sugars (glycerol) because it is a better carbon source. The prediction for this experiment is that the fermentable sugar (sucrose) will cause the TRY 143 flo ↑ yeast to increase growth the greatest and the TRY 140 flo ↓ to increase in growth less significant than the TRY 143 flo ↑. This prediction is based upon the fact that TRY 143 ↑ has more gene expression than TRY 140 flo ↓ and because of this it is more adhesive to itself. For this experiment, the Sucrose should cause the diameter of TRY 143 flow ↑ to have the most growth compared to the other strain of…

    Fermentation, the process that follows cellular respiration, uses a series of redox reactions to produce ATP without the presence of oxygen (anaerobic respiration). This process produces significantly less ATP than aerobic cellular respiration. There are two types of fermentation-lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation. In this experiment, the main focus will be on alcoholic fermentation. Alcoholic fermentation results in the production of ethanol and carbon dioxide.…

    Upon further study we realized that the baking soda submerged in water was producing CO2 because the formula for baking soda is H2CO3 and when submerged in water it reacts with H2O to form CO2. This resulted in the baking soda trial producing significantly more CO2 than we hypothesized. To be sure that this was the reason the baking soda produced more CO2 we had to put all of the trials through a spectrometer to determine the optical density. The spectrometer measures how much light gets through the solution, so the less light that passes through means the higher concentration of yeast in the solution. Our findings from the spectrometer showed that the baking soda actually did produce more yeast than the vinegar and water.…

    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.…

    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.…
