Investigating The Metabolic Process Of The Cellular Respiration By Which It Produce And Convert Energy

Cellular Respiration is the physiological process of converting molecules into ATP. This process can occur in bacteria, protists, fungi, plants, and animals. It uses Oxygen (02) and Glucose (C6H1206) to transfer and transform electrons. Then it produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and Water (H2O). Thus, it is read as C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6H2O + 6CO2 + 32ATP. Respiration is split into three steps Glycolysis, Citric Acid Cycle, and Electron Transfer Chain (ETC).

Cellular respiration is bioenergetic process, meaning that it is governed by enzyme activity. Referring to what was previously learned about enzymes, it is known that enzyme-substrate reactions can

Then we inverted the tubes so an air bubble would form in the little tube that is now upside-down. Now that we know what to do, we marked the little tube 2/3 full. One tube was filled to that line with glucose solution, another with fructose solution, sucrose solution and the last one with water. Next, the little tubes were topped off with a yeast solution. Then we slide a big tube over the little one and completed the inversion, this is done for every little test tube. After they are all inverted our group measured the bubble present at the top of the little tube. Then we put all of the inverted test tubes into a hot water bath for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes we took the tubes out and measure the air bubbles in the tubes. Next, we recorded the data calculated the net change from the beginning of the experiment to after the hot

Once this step was completed, a timer was started and observations were made. Using the timer, how long cellular respiration (this was noted by the appearance of gas in the tube) took to start was noted. Noted

Cellular respiration involves glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis is a

Cellular respiration is a very important process that occurs in all living organisms. In this process, chemical energy is obtained by the organisms’ food source to be turned into ATP or adenosine triphosphate, a form of energy that is easily utilized by the organisms’ bodies to carry out certain bodily functions (Largen, 2008, p.41). The chemical formula for cellular respiration is C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O→6CO2+12H2O+energy. This simply means that, with the use of glucose, six molecules of oxygen, and six molecules of water, an output of six carbon dioxide molecules, twelve molecules of water, and energy (ATP) is produced (Khan, 2010). Glucose is especially important in this process, given that it acts as a fuel in cellular respiration. (Cellular Respiration: Introduction, n.d.). In the biosphere, there is also a vast

The first part of cellular respiration is glycolysis where energy is spent to break a glucose molecule down into two pyruvate molecules. A glucose molecule comes from your food and has 6 carbons on it. Glycolysis partially breaks

All cells in the human body require sufficient amount of energy in order to sustain life. Cells get their energy through a process called cellular respiration. In this process cells use glucose in the presence of oxygen as a fuel source to synthesize highly energetic molecules of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is immediately consumed after its formation, so the process of cellular respiration is constantly ongoing. The starting components, glucose and oxygen are converted into carbon dioxide, water and energy. The process of cellular respiration can be divided into three stages: glycolysis, Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle), and the electron transport chain. At the end of the process a total of 38 ATP molecules are produced. In this experiment,

First glucose is broken down in the process called glycolysis, then the pyruvate molecules are moved to the mitochondria, when this is happening the pyruvate molecules are converted into 2-carbon molecules these molecules then enter the Kreb Cycle. Moving on the energy created will now enter the electron transport chain, this energy will then produce ATP. The reactants are glucose and oxygen and the products are ATP, water, and carbon dioxide. During the Cellular Respiration glucose is being oxidized, along with carbon. On the other hand Oxygen, NAD+ and FADH are being reduced in Cellular Respiration.

In the experiment, the hypothesis that was made stated that cellular respiration would occur faster with addition of exercise. Given the data that was presented via the lab, our group was able to conduct that this hypothesis was proven correct, with all of our groups speed of color change speeding with the addition of exercise. This occurs because when the body is exercising the cells need a higher amount of oxygen in a

When it comes to Biology, there are so many things that you can learn about. My favorite is learning more and more about how the body works and all the interesting facts that come along with it. I am going to be writing about Cellular Respiration.

Cellular respiration also known as oxidative metabolism is important to convert biochemical energy from nutrients in the cells of living organisms to useful energy known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Without cellular respiration living organisms would not be able to sustain life simply because nutrients would not metabolize in a productive manner. Cellular respirations was implemented in this laboratory by measuring the amount of O2 consumed/used by inserting respirometers that consisted of germinating and non-germinating peas into room temperature baths and low temperature baths. Evidently, in the respirometer that was placed in the room temperature bath and contained the germinating peas had the most O2 consumed. At 20 minutes a total

Background Research: Cellular Respiration is used by the cells to make ATP, by releasing chemical energy from sugars and other carbon based molecules. There are 3 stages to Cellular Respiration, Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain. The inputs of Glycolysis are 2 ATP’s, a Glucose molecule, and a Pyruvate. The inputs for the Krebs Cycle are oxygen, and. In animals, energy is consumed by eating food. In that food they eat, Glucose is found and broken down by the process of cellular respiration, which then converts into energy known as ATP. When there is a lot of ATP and Glucose, the liver converts it into glycogen.

What is cell respiration? Well cell respiration refers to the procedure where the chemical energy of organic molecules is changed into a type that can be used by organisms. It derives energy from what we eat or from our fuel, more specifically from glucose. Meaning that cell respiration consumes oxygen and organic molecules such as glucose. Therefore glucose is oxidized and oxygen is reduced.

Some knowledge that is needed before performing this lab are as follows: First of all, cellular respiration is the metabolic processes whereby certain organisms obtain energy from organic molecules. This process includes glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain. Glycolysis is a process that takes place in te cytosol and it oxidizes glucose into two pyruvate. Glycolysis also makes ATP and NADH. The Krebs Cycle occurs in the mitochondria and this process takes the pyruvate and breaks it down into carbon dioxide. But it also produces 3 CO2, 1 ATP, 1 FADH2, and 4 NADH. The electron transport chain takes place in the inner mitochondrial
