...Whenever I hear the word respiration I think of the word ‘respire’. Respire is breathing, us, as humans we need to breathe. Every time we breathe we take in oxygen and we exhale carbon dioxide. In this lab the topic was about cellular respiration. The lab is to investigate fermentation in respiration. Cellular respiration is a process an organism goes through to obtain energy, ATP [adenosine triphosphate]. Oxygen is then reacted with glucose which results in water, carbon dioxide and ATP. Every organism goes through some type of respiration but only animal cells undergo cellular respiration. For this lab we came up with a question, what environmental conditions are optimum for alcoholic fermentation? What temperature ranges? Our hypothesis was, higher temperature will accelerate the production of carbon dioxide between honey and yeast....

...Scientific Report Name: Joh Sturdy Title: To investigate the effect of exercise on breathing. Aim: The aim of this experiment is to find out the effect of exercise on the respiratory system Introduction: During exercise, our muscle cells respire more than when we are resting. Exercise is carried out by increasing the respiration rate and the heart rate. (BBC Bitesize 2014) Exercise occurs when the muscles contract and relax which create movement. Energy for cells is created in the mitochondria of every cell, through the process of cellular respiration (Glucose + Oxygen -----> Carbon Dioxide + Water + ENERGY). The Mitochondria is known as the "powerhouse" of all cells and they act like...

...Cellular respiration is where stored energy is extracted from food, specifically glucose, through a process of metabolic reactions. This process begins in the cytoplasm with glycolysis, which breaks down 1 molecule of glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvate. Next, it goes to pyruvate oxidation (occurs in the mitochondrial matrix) where it takes the 2 pyruvates and oxidizes it to make the products of 2 acetyl CoA, 2 molecules of CO₂, and 2 NADH. Then it continues onto the citric acid cycle which goes through a series of catalyzing enzyme reactions and since there are 2 pyruvates, the total products are 4 CO₂, 6 NADH, 2 FADH₂, and 2 ATP. Finally, in the inner membrane of the mitochondria, the electrons from NADH and FADH₂ is utilized in the electron transport chain (ETC). The 3 transmembrane proteins in ETC are used as hydrogen pumps while the 2 carrier molecules allow transporting of electrons between hydrogen pumps. Also, oxygen ends up being the final electron acceptor in this process. Eventually, the hydrogen ions flow down their...

...Cellular Respiration Lab Report Purpose The purpose of this lab was to find out which substance, molasses, sucrose, or the items of choice. This experiment was done to help the students understand which substance the yeast could perform cellular respiration in and why it could depending on it’s structure and bonds. From this experiment students should be able to better understand cellular respiration and why it occurs, like how it happens and how the organism benefits from cellular respiration. Also it should be understood what substances cellular respiration occurs on more easily and which substances take longer, and why that is because of what they are composed of. Hypotheses For this experiment there were two substances to be brought in and experimented with, substances that were tried were pure honey and water. 1). 50 ml of pure honey will produce 10 cm of carbon dioxide. 2). 25 ml of pure honey diluted with 25 ml of water will produce 7 cm of carbon dioxide. Introduction There are two processes to remove energy, that is aerobic and anaerobic. Anaerobic is the process of fermentation and requires no oxygen. Aerobic is cellular respiration and requires oxygen. Going further into aerobic is the process of cellular respiration is the process which energy is removed in the form of ATP, this process requires oxygen and a food source. All Oxygen using organisms perform cellular respiration. There are 3 major steps to cellular respiration: 1). Glycolysis- It...

...Course: Bio 102 Instructor: Marina Yoffe Assignment: Lab report (Introduction and discussion) Introduction The way in which different organisms acquire oxygen in exchange for carbon dioxide has truly evolved. The exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen is essential for the survival of organisms that need to produce the energy molecule ATP through the process of cellular respiration. Respiration (breathing) is the way organisms exchange gases with their environment (White and Campo 2004). During cellular respiration organisms break down energy rich macromolecules such as starch to make ATP in a chemical reaction where oxygen and water is involved (Ege R. and A. Krogh 1914).The use of oxygen is very important; therefore the efficient acquisition of oxygen is very necessary for an animal’s survival. Depending on what type of organism is involved, our sources of oxygen are different and occur through diffusion. Terrestrial animals obtain oxygen through the air while organisms living in water depend on the oxygen from the water. Unlike terrestrial animals, the amount of oxygen for animals living in water is limited based on the amount of oxygen that has dissolved in the water. Since an adequate amount of oxygen is necessary, animals developed respiratory organs to help them ventilate and obtain as much oxygen from their respected sources as possible (W.C and R. Oesting 1934). One organism that has developed an efficient way of acquiring oxygen is fish. Fish use a counter-current exchange...

...Jamie Morris Biology 101 Dr. Siddiqui April 13, 2016 Cellular Respiration Lab Report Cells can’t grow, reproduce, maintain order or transport materials without a steady source of energy. In most organisms, the energy is provided by adenosine triphosphate (ATP). In order to for these cells to reach their energy demands they must constantly produce ATP. In this lab, we will observe evidence for respiration in mealworms and investigate the effects of different temperatures and experimental variables such as caffeine, nicotine and DEET. The background information includes using nicotine and caffeine, which act lie insecticides. It also found in the soil of these plants. In humans it not only stimulants the central nervous system but increases our heart rate, blood pressure and makes us more alert. Ethanol comes from plants sugars and found in beer, wine and liquor. When humans drink too much they become impaired and their thought process in slowed down. Temperature is also an important factor for all living things environment. Improper temperature can affect interactions between enzyme and its substrate. DEET is a topical insect repellent. It locks insect’s sense of smell.

...Yeast Culture Lab Introduction Yeast is a one-celled, microscopic organism, which is part of the fungi kingdom. Yeasts do not make up a single group (Smith & Smith, 2012). Yeasts use organic material as a means of making energy, which make them chemoorganotrophs (Smith & Smith, 2012). Carbon is procured primarily from hexose sugars, such as fructose and glucose. Yeast need either oxygen for aerobic cellular respiration or for species that are anaerobic, but also have aerobic methods creating energy (Smith & Smith, 2012). There are no species of yeast species that are known to grow only anaerobically. Yeasts thrive in an environment with a slightly acidic (Smith & Smith, 2012). The reproductive cycle of yeasts can be either asexual or sexual depending on the species. The most widely seen method of growth in yeast is asexual reproduction referred to as budding (Smith & Smith, 2012). Reproduction in reference to yeast depends on the species; the species can be both asexual by mitosis and sexual by budding (Smith & Smith, 2012). Consumption refers to use and the rate of use of something such as how a consumer, such as a primary consumer like a tree would use photosynthesis to make energy from carbon dioxide. Death in reference to a population is referring to the rate of death in that population (Smith & Smith, 2012). Hypothesis The primary goal of the yeast culture lab is to test a theory involving samples of yeast cultures grown...

...The Effect of Different Types of Sugar on Respiration in Yeast INTRODUCTION: Yeast is living bacteria that uses in baking to make dough rise through the process of fermentation. For fermentation to occur yeast requires fuel in the form of sugar. The yeast reaction varies depending upon the type of sugar use. AIM: To determine the effect of different types of sugar (Maltose, Lactose and Glucose) have on the respiration rate of yeast. HYPOTHESIS If the type of sugar changed (Maltose, Lactose and Glucose), the amount of carbon dioxide created (bubbles) will then increase because sugar needed for respiration to occur. But, I think Maltose + Yeast will produce more bubbles than other two types of sugar because maltose is the largest sugar in all types of sugar which I am going to do on. Glucose will come into a second place and the least will be Lactose. VARIABLES * INDEPENDENT VARIABLE The independent is type of sugar. I will change it by putting different types of sugar into the water which the yeast would be placed in. * DEPENTDENT VARIABLE The dependent is the amount of bubbles collected from the over a certain amount of time. Rate = CO2/Time * CONTROL VARIABLE 1. Amount of yeast(5 grams) 2. Temperature (50C) 3. Amount of time (1 minute) 4. Amount of sugar (100ml) 5.

...LAB6_AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC GROWTH As humans, we are accustomed to thinking that oxygen is essential to life. Microorganisms, however, are quite adaptable and diverse and vary considerably in their oxygen requirements. Some bacteria require oxygen; some can grow with or without it and some are actually killed by oxygen. Bacteria are generally classified into three main groups with respect to oxygen: 1. Obligate aerobes: Like humans, these organisms have an absolute requirement for oxygen. Because aerobic metabolism generates the toxic byproduct hydrogen peroxide, obligate aerobes must produce the enzyme catalase which breaks down hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen gas. 2. Obligate anaerobes: Not only do these organisms not require oxygen, they are often killed in its presence. Because anaerobic metabolism does not generate hydrogen peroxide, obligate anaerobes generally do not produce catalase. The causative agent of botulism, Clostridium botulinum is an obligate anaerobe. Since the canning process removes the air, Clostridium botulinum can grow in inadequately sterilized canned foods. This isn't normally a problem in fresh foods since they are exposed to air. 3. Facultative anaerobes: These organisms will use oxygen in their metabolism if it is available, but can also grow without oxygen. Again, since aerobic metabolism generates hydrogen peroxide, they produce catalase. E. coli, which is normal flora of the intestine, is an example of a facultative...
