Cellular respiration

can Squeeze a Clothespin Background Information: Cellular Respiration is the process in which glucose is broken down to produce water molecules and ATP. which stands for adenosine triphosphate, is the only usable form of energy that can be used to fuel the activities and life processes of any organism. There are two main types of cellular respiration: aerobic respiration, and anaerobic respiration. The chemical equation for aerobic respiration is C 6H 12O 6 = 2C 2H 5OH + 2CO 2 + 2ATP, which…

After performing this procedure, we obtain a clear definition and view of respiration, in addition to the production of carbon dioxide in organisms from two different kingdoms.A big difference existed betweem the production of carbon dioxide among each creature and that was clearly noticeable in our data.Animals rely heavily on oxygen gas which is the product outcome of Photosynthesis. In the other hand, plants need carbon dioxide and on this experiment the production of carbon dioxide lacked,…

simplified version of the equation and one must keep in mind that the reaction does not simply occur as written. There are many processes that must take place before the final product, glucose, is produced. Conceptually, photosynthesis is the reverse of cellular…

other electrons can go through and will be obtained by oxygen (O2) to form into water (H2O). Oxygen also called terminal electron acceptor is necessary to remove electrons so other electrons can go through and to pump out protons (H+) for cellular respiration. An enzyme called ATP synthase provided protons energy to make ATP. Protons can only go through ATP synthase in a controlled way to go to the matrix of a mitochondria. ATP synthase makes ATP from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic…

Cellular respiration is the process of “breaking down organic molecules to release their stored energy” usually using glucose, and convert it into ATP through an aerobic process. (Upadhyay 2018) Cellular fermentation is also a part of cellular respiration, but it is an anaerobic process which means it does not require oxygen. There are two discussed types of fermentation: Alcohol Fermentation in which “glycolysis converts glucose in to pyruvate, producing NADH and FADH2, then pyruvate is broken…

allows the crawfish to reach their final destination in one piece. While they fetch a price of less than a dollar per pound (Romaire et al., 2005), the multiple purposes they fulfill are priceless. Since a crawfish undergoes the process of aerobic respiration likes humans, it aids in providing valid assumptions when referring to the common way humans generate energy through aerobic…

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell that act like a digestive system which consumes nutrients, breaks them down, and manufactures energy for the cell. This chemical processes of the cell is known as cellular respiration (1). Most of cellular respiration happens in the mitochondria. Mitochondria typically float around free throughout the cell. Some cells have hundreds of mitochondria, like muscle cells, while others have little to none, like nNeurons (1). The quantity of mitochondria a…

Rate of Respiration from Refrigerated, Sprouted Mung Beans; Room Temperature Sprouted Mung Beans, and Moss at Room Temperature, and Yeast? Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to determine the rates of respiration within refrigerated and non-refrigerated Mung beans. Cellular respiration is the oxidation of glucose molecules (C6H12O6) to produce ATP, CO2, and H2O. The generalized/condensed version of this formula is: C6H12O6 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP (Energy). The specimen’s speed at which…

Plants get mass from the air, specifically carbon dioxide. The results from both VonHelmont's experiment and the radish seed experiment support this idea. In VonHelmont’s experiment, the plant gained 164 pounds in 5 years while the soil only lost 2 ounces in weight.These results reveal that a plant does not receive its mass from soil. The roots of the plant absorbed water from the soil in order to photosynthesize causing the soil to lose 2 ounces overtime. In the radish seed experiment, the…

Respiration and Photosynthesis Respiration and photosynthesis are reactions that take place in the environment which complement each other, in the other case can be seen as a same reaction but happening in reverse of each other (Tang, 2005). In photosynthesis the ingredients/ requirement for it to place is water and carbon dioxide as they release oxygen and glucose as the products. Respiration to take place requires glucose and oxygen to yield carbon dioxide and water. Since the product of…
