Unfavorable has a negative connotation, it conjures up thoughts of ‘bad” and “non-useful” processes, however as we have learned through the case studies of muscle contraction and photosynthesis, this is simply a misconception. For in the natural world a favorable or unfavorable reaction is not a single entity but is rather part of a coupled reaction that uses the two in tandem to continue the function of essential processes. This being said, and connotation aside, an unfavorable reaction is one…

PURPOSE To determine how germination and temperature of environment effect respiration rate of seeds. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Cellular Respiration: Is the controlled release of energy from organic compounds in cells to form ATP. Sugar + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP). In eukaryotic organisms, respiration occurs to maximize ATP production; this is contrary to anaerobic respiration, which occurs during the absence of a ready supply of oxygen (mostly in prokaryotic organisms).…

table you would notice that electronegativity increases. This is because of the pull the protons have while they try to keep their valence electrons close to themselves. As you go down the periodic table, it decreases because of the shielding, or more energy levels. The more shielding makes the protons have to work that much harder to keep all their electrons with them. The difference in electronegatives plays a big role with bonding because electronegativity is the force of the pull from…

The enzyme, succinyl coenzyme A synthetase, acts on the conversion of the succinyl group succinate. A decrease in the ATP production of the mitochondria may occur if there is a deficiency of this enzyme. The decrease is seen during the phosphorylation of succinyl CoA to succinate. With this decrease, the cells would produce lactic acid in order to get ATP leading the cell to be non-functional. The deficiency of the enzyme, and the increase in lactic acid causes fatal infantile lactic acid…

than it does to break hydrogen Bonds. W is for… wavelengths Wavelengths have to do with the color of the light emitted when an electron falls to the ground state. F2 has 7 different wavelengths. 6 of the wave lengths are around 606 å. The last one is around 485 å. Fluorine the element also has 7 waves. The amount of electrons makes sense because it has 7 valence electrons. X is for… xtra cool facts Fluorine is a rare element because it can that can attack…

Twentieth Century the atom was imagined of two types of particles: protons and electrons. The problem with thinking in these terms was that the atomic mass measurements were not matching up with the atomic number, or protons in the nucleus of an atom. An example of this is the helium atom who has the atomic mass of 4, but a positive charge of two and negative charge of two. Positive charges have mass, however, electrons have very little, which made it problematic to explain the reasoning behind…

1. Introduction Alzheimer’s disease can be characterized as a neurodegenerative disease where an individual suffers from progressive loss of memory and basic mental functions. Because researchers cannot pinpoint a specific factor that causes Alzheimer’s disease, many theories exist regarding its causation. One such theory, the dysfunction mitochondria within an individual’s brain cells, the organelle’s DNA mutation, and the implications these two variables have on the causation of Alzheimer’s…

redox reaction is a type of reaction that results in the exchange of one or more electrons leaving one product oxidized and one product reduced. The product that becomes reduced gains an electron, and the product that loses an electron becomes oxidized. This process can be simply thought of as a chemical reaction where electrons are transferred. Redox reactions occur as a way to transfer energy in the form of electrons. This happens in several biological processes, including cellular…

respiration process. The three-stage process consists of glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the electron transport chain, and the purpose of the process is to convert glucose and oxygen to ATP and to release carbon dioxide and water (Wikipedia, n.d.). In the glycolysis stage of the process, there is one glucose molecule that is in the cell’s cytoplasm, and…

rate of flow of electric charge through a conductor with respect to time. It is caused by drift of free electrons through a conductor to a particular direction (Electric current). The particles that carry charge through wires in a circuit are mobile electrons. The electric field’s direction in a circuit is the direction that positive charges are moving. Thus, these negatively charged electrons move in the direction opposite the electric…
