Investigating Respiration

In this lab we are measuring the amount of oxygen used in both germinating and non germinating peas. We are measuring the oxygen consumption by taking a reading of a respirometer submerged in two water baths. The first bath will be cold water and the second warm to determine the effect of temperatures on oxygen consumption. Our negative control will be glass beads to measure to increase or decrease in atmospheric pressure or temperature changes. There is a direct relationship between oxygen consumption and Carbon Dioxide produced, therefore the more O2 consumed the more CO2 produced. To keep the amount of CO2 produced from canceling out any pressure gained or lost from the consumption of

The respiration system is the process of supplying oxygen to the cells so that cells can metabolise energy. The main functions of the respiratory system are to maintain oxygen supply to cells, to remove water from the body, and to remove carbon dioxide from the body.

Cellular respiration is the chemical process in which organic molecules, such as sugars, are broken down in the cell to produce utilizable energy in the form of ATP. ATP is the chemical used by all of the energy-consuming metabolic activities of the cell. In order to extract energy from these organic molecules, cellular respiration involves a network of metabolic pathways dedicated to this task.

Cellular respiration is a redox reaction that combines glucose & oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy.

To be able to carry on metabolic processes in the cell, cells need energy. The cells can obtain their energy in different ways but the most efficient way of harvesting stored food in the cell is through cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is a catabolic pathway, which breaks down large molecules to smaller molecules, produces an energy rich molecule known as ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) and a waste product that is released as CO2.

Cellular respiration and effects of pollutants and carbohydrates on its rate is determined . its purpose is to determine the importance of cellular respiration on the process of life. Respiration is process that take place in cell to convert the biochemical energy to ATP.

All living organisms need to respire in order to stay alive. The process of respiration converts oxygen and glucose into energy that is required to carry out the cellular biochemical reaction required to sustain life.

Also, unlike photosynthesis, cellular respiration is known as a decomposition reaction. During this reaction, the exergonic release of energy is produced by breaking glucose down into smaller ATP molecules, water and carbon dioxide which is released into the air, for use by plants, every time we exhale

Every living thing needs cellular respiration to survive. Cellular respiration is the process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen. This process happens through three distinct operations which are glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Throughout these cycles, our bodies turn oxygen and glucose into carbon dioxide, water, and energy. Although this system seems simple enough, cellular respiration can not take place in just one step because all of the energy from glucose would be released at once, most of it being lost in the form of light and heat. All this plays a very important role in our lives and without it, organisms would cease to exist.

Cellular respiration is a process that happens in all living eukaryotic cells. What cellular respiration does is turn food often carbohydrates into energy for our bodies. Cellular respiration starts with a carbohydrates sugar called glucose. What it does is alter and break down the six carbon molecule glucose and altering it creating two three carbon molecules called pyruvic acids in an anaerobic process called glycolosis (Cellular respiration). What this process does is create two ATP molecules which are basically molecules which provide energy to run all cellular processes in our bodies (king). However, from here in the process can turn aerobic, meaning using oxygen if present or anaerobic meaning when oxygen is not present in a

Fascinating response Andy. I completely agree with your points! As students in high school, we only have a cursory look and discussion over such a “fundamental biological process” like you said. To further delve into the concept of cellular respiration and its relationship in the realm of science and life would be a crucial advancement in society. I always knew that cellular respiration was important because the process allows us to take the nutrients from the food we eat and convert it into usable energy for our bodies to function. However, what I didn't know and recently learned from this assignment is how cellular respiration is connected and plays a key role in the biological ornamentation of organisms.

Organisms need to respire because ,cells need and use the energy that is formed through this process to assist with life processes in order for organisms to survive and reproduce. Living organisms need energy to move, excrete, grow, reproduce and maintain themselves. They obtain this energy from respiration. Organisms need to respire To detoxify the blood of Carbon Dioxide and transport Oxygen to the various organs of the body as well. The body needs this energy to fight diseases for

    Cellular respiration is the group metabolic reactions that happen in the cell of living organism that creates adenosine triphosphate, ATP, from biochemical energy. The formula for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 +6O26CO2+6H2O+ATP.  This formula means glucose and oxygen are turned into water,carbon dioxide and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) energy through chemical reactions. Cellular respiration occurs in all cells which allows them to grow. Raphanus raphanistrum subsp. Sativus seed, also known as radish seed, undergo cellular respiration because they are not yet able to perform photosynthesis, which is how plants create their energy. Hymenoptera formicidae,commonly known as ants, undergo cellular respiration to produce the energy they need to live.

Respiration is the release of energy. All cells in our bodies respire to get energy. This energy can be used to release heat to keep our bodies at a regular temperature or make ATP (Adenosine triphosphate).
