Cellular respiration

Introduction: Cellular respiration is a metabolic process that allows organisms to convert stored energy in the chemical bonds of glucose, or sugar. Most of the time this process is aerobic, which means oxygen is required to generate energy from the chemical bonds in glucose. Our bodies need energy for all kind of activities. Even when the body is resting, it requires a lower amount of energy (Budhram,2016). However for more demanding activities, more energy is needed. You can determine a…

Cellular Respiration takes place on the level of the cell, inside the mitochondria. This is the process of breaking down food in the presence of oxygen to form ATP. ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate which is an energy bearing molecule found in all living cells1. Things such as bacteria can perform this with their outer membranes. When a person runs, they use cellular respiration to create energy in the form of ATP which allows their muscles to move. Many other energy-consuming reactions of…

What is Cellular respiration? This common question is asked by many young and talented 15-year-olds in biology class. Cellular respiration happens in every living organism, and help us produce ATP or otherly known as energy. Cellular respiration seems like a big process and it really is with things like the Krebs cycle, which converts things such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into energy. There are three main steps to Cellular respiration, Glycolysis, Krebs cycle and Electron transport…

compared fermentation rates under various conditions also known as anaerobic and cellular respiration with an aerobic process. Cellular respiration, is the method when food molecules are broken down from glucose to energy molecules known as ATP. As stated in lab manual BSC 2010L the equation formula is C_6 H_12 O_6+ 6O_2→6CO_2+6H_2 O+energy (including~ 36 ATP) (Upadhyaya, 2018). Fermentation, similar to cell respiration begins with glycolysis; it is the breakdown of glucose with the formation of…

several biological processes, including cellular respiration. Cellular respiration can be thought of as a giant redox reaction; where glucose is being oxidized and the products are being reduced. The importance of redox reactions is closely tied to the importance of cellular respiration to an organism. Similar to enzymes, redox reactions are a fundamental part and driving factor in cellular respiration. The absence of redox reactions in cellular respiration would be just as detrimental to the…

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down nutrients and produce ATP. The road through cellular respiration can somewhat vary, depending on the nutrient being processed; this article will focus on the pathway of breaking down glucose. There are three main stages of cellular respiration, Glycolysis, Citric Acid Cycle, and the Electron Transport System. For the chemical enthusiasts reading this, the chemical equation to describe cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 ®6CO2 +…

The purpose of this lab was to hypothesize about cellular energetics and measuring the rates of respiration and photosynthesis, explain what cellular respiration and its aspects such as glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain then how each process is involved in producing ATP and why fermentation occurs. This lab had two parts to the experiment. Experiment A analyzed cellular respiration by measuring the production carbon dioxide with various forms of sugar. Experiment B examined…

Cellular Respiration Cellular Respiration is cells making adenosine, a molecule unit of currency, Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) much organic compounds. The goal of this process is break down pyruvic acid, which is a type of acid that contains carbon. In order for Cellular respiration o to occur it takes 2 steps which are Glycolysis and Aerobic Respiration. Several other types of respirations will appear throughout the essay including electron transport chain, fermentation, alcoholic and lactic…

Background Research: Cellular respiration occurs in all living organisms. ATP is a molecule that is made from food. Yeast uses cellular respiration as well. While the process of cellular respiration occurs in yeast, carbon dioxide is produced. Stephanie Lamot of Northeastern Illinois University conducted an experiment on how different types of sugar have an effect on yeast. Her conclusions were that the more yeast added to sugar, the faster the production of CO2 is. Hypothesis: The rate…

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…
