Cellular respiration

Chrysanthemum belliam The Chrysanthemum belliam is an organism that belongs to the Domain Eukarya and Plantae Kingdom. Chrysanthemum are flowering plants native of northern eastern Europe and East Asia. However, this particular species of Chrysanthemum, belliam, was recently discovered in the western part of Africa, around the Gold Coast. The coastal climate of this region in Africa has produced an abundance of Chrysanthemum belliam, so lets take an indepth look at this beautiful unique…

Mitochondria are organelles found in eukaryotes obtained through endosymbiosis with prokaryotes billions of years ago. They are organelles with their own DNA and outer and inner membrane and few organelles, because they lost many of their organelles to the Nuclear DNA of the eukaryotes which resulted them being dependent of the cell they live in This endosymbiosis is very crucial for eukaryotes survival since mitochondria produce the energy needed for the cell to survive through oxidative…

The mitochondrion is an organelle which produces ATP or energy for all cells. The ATP produced by the mitochondria can be used to measure certain physical activities of fruit flies. In this experiment the development, climbing, flight, and in vitro activity of Drosophilia Melanogaster flies were tested. Three different strands of flies were used. One strand was the wild-type (wt) fly, which had normal mitochondria without any mutations. Another stand was the W501 strain (hybrid) which had…

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…

Investigating the light factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis in Elodea Fatima Hussien Sara House, Lesha Liles, Abigail Saucedo, Melrina Stemn Biology 1441_Sec 017, Monika Pradhan; October 6, 2015 All plants rely on 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…

Methods Each trial consisted of isolating the hearts of two mice, aged anywhere between 8-15 weeks, with the strain FVB/NJ of the Mus genus. Eight trials were conducted throughout the duration of the experiment. No female mice were used for any of the trials because because the research in the lab concentrates on males, due to known differences in protein expression among the two sexes. The effect of the VU591 drug on mitochondrial KATP function in wildtype mice was measured by calculating the…

skills, in hopes of acquiring additional ones that will assist me in performing even better for the next school year. After momentarily looking through my achievements from this semester, there was no doubt that my best work was the anaerobic cellular respiration lab report from biology class, which I scored a 92% on. To begin with, one strategy that can be credited for allowing me to perform well on that assignment was my method of research. In detail, I made sure only to browse through…

reactions are the reverse of each other. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water work together with the protein complexes present in the chloroplast and with the aid of the energy coming from the sun to yield glucose and oxygen. Meanwhile, in cellular respiration, glucose is broken down with the aid of oxygen and enzymes present in the mitochondria into carbon dioxide and water, which are the starters of photosynthesis, and produces energy in the form of ATP. The light independent (LI)…

Hypothesis Experiment I Eukaryotic cells contain several membrane-bound organelles. Plant cells are a specific type of eukaryote that are both aerobic and photosynthetic. Because of this, they contain 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…

Glycolysis results in 2 pyruvates and 2 NADH , which are rich in energy and are used later to power ATP. Typically Oxygen is needed for cellular respiration but in glycolysis it is not necessary which makes it an Anaerobic process. In the absence of Oxygen, the pyruvates created through Glycolysis are rerouted through Fermentation. In the absence of Oxygen in order to keep Glycolysis going it…
