Artificial respiration

Introduction Breathe in , Breathe out. That is one main way your body relies on itself to keep you alive and your other organs function in the way that they should be. The respiratory system, the system that brings oxygen into your body and delivers it to the blood to be sent around for everything else to use. Breathing out seems like a simple task but it takes many different anatomical parts of your body and physiology to get the oxygen where it needs to go. There is also pathophysiology that…

photosynthesis, therefore, we examined the rate at which a submerged plant such as elodea photosynthesized, with different light factors. To do this, the elodea must be completely be submerged in deionized water, later place the two plants under artificial light and natural light. After an hour, elodea has to be removed from the beaker, add three drops of phenolphthalein and then add as many drops of sodium dioxide until the content has turned pink, into the beaker. The amount of sodium dioxide…

enters the leaf through the stomata. This is the external source of carbon dioxide. Some of the carbon dioxide produced by the plants own cells in the process of respiration. The amount of carbon dioxide available is quite low. This affects the rate of photosynthesis i.e. The lower the level,the slower the rate of photosynthesis. Artificial sources of carbon dioxide can be used in greenhouses to increase crop growth, e.g. Carbon dioxide can be pumoped into the greenhouse. Deforestation and…

2nd centrifugation; the absorbance measured of the mitochondria will be low. Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) is an enzyme located in the mitochondria membrane. FAD is present, it then turns the succinate to cause cellular respiration. SDH will replace with DCIP, which is an artificial electron acceptor. DCIP is used to measure mitochondrial activity in the spectrometer. DCIP is a redox indicator, causing it…

1. The different types of respiration are cellular, internal, and external. In external respiration there is an exchange between air and blood in the lungs and internal has exchange between the blood and body tissues. Cellular respiration is a chemical reaction inside the mitochondria of cells in and cellular metabolism is converting energy in food to become ATP. 2. The olfactory mucosa is the lines of the roof in the nasal cavity. The respiratory mucosa is lining the rest of the nasal cavity…

This lab will be testing the respiratory system. The respiratory system is how the body gets oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide. The body needs oxygen to perform cellular respiration and make ATP. The body also needs to get rid of carbon dioxide because when carbon dioxide builds up in the body it lowers blood pH(Kellman, 2000). Oxygen is taken in when the body inhales, it is taken through the lungs to the alveoli, where it is transformed into the hemoglobin and transported around the body…

mitochondria that serve a vital role in aerobic respiration that follows photosynthesis. The enzyme succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) is an enzyme associated with the Citric Acid Cycle that takes place in the mitochondrial matrix. SDH serves as a catalyst for a reaction in which succinate and FAD become fumarate and FADH2. The SDH-FADH2 complex then reduces Ubiquinone in the electron transport chain. SDH can be indirectly measured using the artificial electron acceptor DCIP that is blue in its…

Violent delights have violent ends "The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race” (Stephen Hawking). Hawking divulges that as we approach the singularity, our own creations will render us evolutionarily obsolete. Our great developments over time are the things that have allowed us to make our own tools, languages and commerce but someday instead of creating new technology our innovations may bring us to our own demise. Science fiction writer Vernor…

Introduction: Our modern society is engaged in pursuing a healthy and active lifestyle in order to avoid common health problems such as obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes mellitus to name a few. Exercise duration, frequency and intensity all are relevant in triggering physiological responses in our bodies. For example, skeletal muscles demand an increase in oxygen and substrates and simultaneously remove carbon dioxide and metabolites (Burton et al., 2004). Furthermore, studies have…

Fermentation Rate in Different Sugars Abstract: This experiment is designed by students after studying the process of cellular respiration and fermentation. It demonstrates students’ understanding over the materials and utilization of the lab setting. In this experiment, the primary focus will on the speed of fermentation in different substances (sugars) in the same condition (temperature, volume, amount of yeast). Each solution will be mix with a fix amount of yeast and put in fermentation tube…
