INTRODUCTION Cellular respiration is the breaking down of organic molecules by means of catabolic pathways that uses electron transport chain to produce ATP (Campbell 2011). ATP is used as energy in the synthesis of light or also known as Photosynthesis . ATP is used by photosynthetic organisms to produce their own food and also by performing cellular respiration. It needs mainly glucose and oxygen that involves the transfer of electrons in a chemical reaction. Cellular respiration is the…

Lab Question: Does the intensity of light affect the plant’s photosynthesis? Background information: There are three main elements which has a huge impact on the plant’s photosynthesis: light, temperature, and carbon dioxide.(Plant and Light) However, this lab is focused on how the intensity of light affect the plant’s photosynthesis in order to see how the intensity of light affect the plant’s photosynthesis, specifically Elodea plants. Photosynthesis is a process which happens in all plants…

There are key differences between cellular respiration and photosynthesis that can help one learn about each process on a deeper level. Cellular respiration’s goal is to break down certain food molecules like sugars, fats, and carbohydrates and convert it to ATP or energy for the cell to use. For photosynthesis, its purpose is to obtain solar energy and convert that energy into chemical energy and glucose for food and an energy storage. Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria, which is…

Cellular Respiration Cellular respiration is a 3 step process that makes energy. Every organism on earth needs cellular respiration to survive because without energy an organism cannot survive. The chemical formula for cellular respiration is C6H12O6+6O2 > 6CO2+6H2O+38 ATP. So how do runners perform cellular respiration in a race? First the runner must breath in and air goes through the mouth and through the air way to get to the lungs. The lungs then take oxygen from the air and diffuse it…

DQ #1. Explain the difference between aerobic metabolism and anaerobic metabolism. Aerobic metabolism occurs in the cell’s mitochondria and requires oxygen, anaerobic metabolism occurs in the cytoplasm and it does not require oxygen. During aerobic metabolism the hydrogen and carbon molecules from dietary fats, proteins, and carbohydrates are mixed with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water as energy is released. These end products that are produced during aerobic metabolism are to some extent…

Article 1: Scientists unravel the colorful sea slug's solar-energy theory 1) Why are chloroplasts important for plants? Chloroplasts are important for plants because they contain Chlorophyll, used in photosynthesis. The Chlorophyll is what made it possible for plants to absorb and process the sun's energy and combine it with carbon dioxide and water to grow and make food. Photosynthesis also releases oxygen for humans to breath. 2) List two reasons and explain why the chloroplasts were helpful…

Exercise is physical movement accomplished through the contraction of skeletal muscles. These contractions require significant amounts of energy and constitute a major physiological function. The energy for contractions is provided by ATP which can be synthesized from many different substrates.K The metabolic demands of skeletal muscle incurred through brief and acute exercise and be fulfilled through hydrolysis of creatine phosphate which provides energy to synthesize ATP from ADP. For longer…

Riboflavin contains a tricyclic dimethyl-isoalloxazine ring (Flavin Nucleus) that is conjugated to a 1-Carbon ribityl, an alcohol derived from pentose sugar D-ribose, is attached at the 9 position of isoalloxazine nucleus as shown in Figure 1. The metabolically active coenzymes of riboflavin are riboflavin -5-phosphate or Flavin Mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) that participate in many vital oxidation reduction processes. Catalytic sites of some enzymes are covalently…

succinyl-CoA synthetase, succinate dehydrogenase, fumarase, malate dehydrogenase, and citrate synthase. The Cori Cycle has many parts to it ultimately leading to the breakdown of glucose and the diffusion of lactate with the liver. In the Cori cycle there is the conversion of glucose to lactate through anaerobic glycolysis in muscle cells, the diffusion of lactate from muscle cells into the bloodstream then being transported to the liver. To the conversion of lactate to glucose through…

Sophie, Rebecca, and Indrani Scrpit: I: (Hello; Hi) We studied Cellular Respiration. For our project, we made a working model. This box (points to box) represents a cell. As you can see, we’ve drawn the parts of the cell on the box. R: The equation for cellular respiration is Glucose + Oxygen-----------> Carbon Dioxide+ Water+ Energy. First, glucose, which is in the cell, (drops into mitochondria) is the first of the two raw materials used. The next is oxygen (drops whatever oxygen is…
