then dropped even lower before rising back to stagnant levels. This may be because there may have been a slight ventilation in the room at around 125 seconds. 2. What is the role of carbon dioxide in photosynthesis? What is its role in cellular respiration? The role of carbon dioxide in photosynthesis is that it is used by plants to create glucose and water which is what is used as food for the plant and in turn creates oxygen. After the oxygen is formed carbon dioxide is created from this…

The citric acid cycle generates energy from the oxidation of various fuel molecules to acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA). Acetyl CoA undergoes several redox, hydration and decarboxylation reactions to produce carbon dioxide (CO2), reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), reduced flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2), adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and hydrogen ions. The citric acid cycle links glycolysis which produces pyruvate from glucose and oxidative phosphorylation which generates ATP…

in cellular respiration? How do enzymes perform an important role in the mitochondria? How does the mitochondria use chemiosmotic gradients? How did the mitochondria evolve? The mitochondria are organelles found within eukaryotic cells, that produce energy for the cell. There are many chemical processes and important molecules involved in the mitochondria. Cellular respiration is the chemical process that makes the energy needed for the cell in the form of ATP. In cellular respiration, glucose…

Total Energy Cost Laboratory Introduction: There are three energy systems that produce ATP. First is the ATP-PC system (high power and short duration), Glycolytic System (moderate power and moderate duration), and the oxidative aerobic system (low power and long duration). In this lab, a subject weight lifted for one minute. At the start, the Phosphagen system immediately took place. This system, also called the ATP-PC system is the quickest way to re-synthesize ATP, and is a rapid supply of…

Triglycerides are made of three molecules of fatty acid molecules and a glycerol molecule and its catabolism follows two pathways to generate ATP. The four molecules are separated by a hydrolysis degradation reaction. The three fatty acid molecules enter a pathway that consists of Beta oxidation, Citric Acid Cycle, and electron transport chain. The substrate involved in Beta Oxidation include the three fatty acid molecules, coenzyme A, NAD, FAD, and ATP. The Beta Oxidation process involves…

In order to obtain energy through food, organisms perform the process of cellular respiration in which they break down a molecule of sugar and use it to produce many molecules of ATP, which is the chemical energy nearly all organisms use. However, this process is aerobic, meaning it only occurs in the presence of oxygen. When an organism needs to produce ATP without oxygen, such as during intense periods of exercise, it uses fermentation to convert food into energy. In fermentation, the molecule…

When trying to figure out the cellular morphology and arrangement the T-streak method is used to get isolated colonies from a sample of a bacteria. To begin the process a petri plate which has a layer of agar is divided into three sections in a T form. When preforming an experiment aseptic techniques are used between each step, therefore you flame the loop before and after every step. A sample is taken from a culture with an inoculated loop, then is spread in the top section of the plate in…

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…

Competition is a prevalent factor in biology that plays an integral role in the diversity of a biomes community and natural selection for species. Plants are among the most diverse groups of organisms and it all started 475 Ma ago, when spore-producing plants were the first to emerge from the sea to begin the colonization of terrestrial ecosystems. Ever since late Silurian (425 Ma), land plants have been competing, evolving and diverging to give rise to new species, while nearly all plant…

purpose of this lab is to determine the effect of light intensity on the rate of cellular respiration in seaweed. Introduction The relationship between respiration and photosynthesis in plants is a constant one. During photosynthesis plants use light energy, often from the sun, combined with carbon dioxide and water to produce energy. The byproducts of this action are glucose and oxygen. Contrarily, respiration is the combination of glucose and oxygen to produce water and carbon dioxide (Lab:…
