Cellular Respiration Lab Report

When cellular respiration is in process, hydrogen atoms are removed from glucose and transferred to oxygen atoms that form CO2 and H2O. A major process of cellular respiration is Glycolysis, which occurs in the cytoplasm just outside of the mitochondria. Glycolysis is the process by which glucose is broken down into two pyruvate molecules. Energy is used to release glucose, which gains 2 ATP. Oxidation follows which produces NADH. . (Mader, 2009)

Introduction Cellular respiration: the metabolic processes and reactions that takes place in the cell as the reverse process of photosynthesis. A three step process in the presence of oxygen. Cellular respiration begins with glycolysis then moves on to the kreb cycle and ends in the electron transport chain creating 36 atp. If there is no oxygen present then they would go through fermentation. Which we didn't not test here since we did a aerobic exercise (jumping jacks).

Eukaryotic cells produce the chemical energy they need through the processes of either oxidative phosphorylation or photophosphorylation. Oxidative phosphorylation is the last step in the process of cellular respiration and accounts for nearly 90% of ATP production during cellular respiration. During stage one of cellular respiration 2 ATP molecules are broken down to provide the energy necessary to start glycolysis. Each glucose molecule is broken down into 2 pyruvate molecules and 4 ATPs are formed. A net gain of two ATPs is realized. In stage two the pyruvate molecules enter into the mitochondrion of the cell. The pyruvate molecules are oxidized into the compound acetyl CoA. In stage three, the acetyl CoA passes into citric acid cycle (Krebs

There are three stages in respiration, the first is glycolysis, then the citric acid cycle (Kreb’s Cycle), and lastly, oxidative phosphorylation, in which both electron transport and chemiosmosis takes place. In respiration, the covalent bonds are broken up causing the energy to be absorbed. In this, we come

This experiment employs the concept of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the release of chemical energy from sugars and other carbon molecules to produce ATP, which is the energy source for cells. Respiration occurs in all eukaryotic cells, inside the mitochondria. ATP is made from glucose molecules that are eaten in food, and the process has a byproduct of carbon dioxide. The balanced chemical equation is: C6H12O6+6O2=6CO2+6H2O. Simply put, it is a sugar and oxygen that yield carbon dioxide and water.

BIOLOGY LAB: 1106 PROFFESSOR: ANTONIO PENA PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND RESPIRATION LAB STUDENT ID: 0411054   Photosynthesis is the process where plants and other organisms use sunlight to synthesize food from carbon dioxide and water. Chloroplasts are used to start the process of photosynthesis. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen in order to generate ATP. Enzymes are biological molecules that catalyze chemical reactions and a catalase is an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide.

The first stage is glycolysis, the second stage is the linking reaction, the third stage is the Krebs cycle, and the final stage is electron transport. During the glycolysis stage glucose is disintegrated, this happens in the cytoplasm of the cell. Once the glucose is broken down two identical compounds are created. Two electrons and a hydrogen ion are removed then attached to adenine forming NADH. Water is then formed using an oxygen and two hydrogen atoms. In this stage two ATP molecules are added. The linking reaction occurs in the mitochondria of the cell. NAD+ and pyruvate come together to form NADH and an acetyl enzyme. The Krebs cycle involves removing hydrogen atoms from the acetyl coenzyme in order to form four molecules of ATP. Carbon then combines with oxygen, creating carbon dioxide. Electrons are unconstrained and move towards the electron transport chain because of NADH. These electrons go through the electron chain until it finds an oxygen atom, where water is formed then released. ATP molecules are created because of the energy released by the electron. In this stage 32 molecules of ATP are

Cellular respiration can be aerobic (in presence of oxygen) or anaerobic (without oxygen). Aerobic cellular respiration takes place in cytoplasm and mitochondria. There are three steps of cellular respiration; the first one is glycolysis that takes place in cytoplasm where glucose (6 Carbon molecule) is broken down into 2 PGAL (Phosphoglyceraldehyde, 3 Carbon molecules). This step requires 2 ATP. Next, 2 PGAL are converted to 2 pyruvates.

Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules; like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water. The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell. Cellular respiration produces CO2 as a metabolic waste. This CO2 binds with water to form carbonic acid, helping to maintain the blood’s pH. There are 3 stages of cellular respiration- glycolysis, the krebs cycle and electron transport chain (in order).Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid.

Cellular respiration is the process of breaking down organic molecules into ATP energy. Cellular respiration takes place in the cytosol and mitochondria. Cellular respiration formula, (chem resp form) indicates that oxygen is a main reactant needed for the process to work. The lab was conducted on a cricket, pepper, and worm all of which use cellular respiration and consume oxygen.

Respiration is very important in providing energy to your body, all living things run on energy. Energy is provided from different sources, for an example plant life receives its energy source from the Sun. All other forms of life receive energy through cellular respiration. Cellular respiration happens in three stages; Glycolysis, The Krebs Cycle, Electron transport chain and chemiosmosis. The cellular respiration process can be aerobic or anaerobic.

Cellular respiration is defined as the process by which the chemical energy of food molecules is released and converted into usable energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). (Encyclopaedia Britannica Online, 2015) Excluding viruses, all living organisms respire. (kids.net.au, 2015) There are two types of respiration; aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen. Anaerobic respiration occurs when there is an absence of oxygen. (kids.net.au, 2015) Cellular respiration occurs in three main stages: glycolysis, Krebs cycle and the Electron Transfer Chain. (Encyclopaedia Britannica Online, 2015) Glycolysis is the anaerobic process of breaking down glucose into what is known as pyruvate. Pyruvate can be broken down further in The Krebs cycle, which is an aerobic process where glucose is converted to ATP.

There are two types of cellular respiration: aerobic occurs in the presence of oxygen while anaerobic occurs in the absence of oxygen. The first step in each process is glycolysis, which is where one molecule of glucose breaks apart into 2 molecules of pyruvate. Two molecules of ATP (cellular form of energy) are required to supply the energy needed for the glycolysis reaction to begin.

Figure 1.?The electron transport chain is a series of electron transporters embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane that shuttles electrons from NADH and FADH2?to molecular oxygen. In the process, protons are pumped from the mitochondrial matrix to the inter-membrane space, and oxygen is reduced to form water, ("Aerobic Respiration, Part 3: n.d.)? Reprinted [or adapted] with

In cellular respiration, the first step is glycolysis.   Glucose is broken down in the cytoplasm of cells into 2 pyruvates, which provide for further steps (Britannica). To continue, the next step is the Krebs Cycle. This cycle is required for the oxidation of molecules such as FADH and NADH.  These molecules are crucial to the cycle because the molecules can carry electrons.
