Meal Worm Cellular Respiration Experiment Introduction Cellular respiration provides energy to all living organisms by collecting energy from food molecules. The cell then rearranges complex molecules to simpler molecules and uses that energy to make a molecule that stores energy called adenosine triphosphate also known as ATP. Cellular respiration can occur with or without oxygen….

Aim: The aim of my investigation is to see how the rate of respiration of some maggots differs between room temperature and other temperatures, in terms of volume of oxygen produced. Simple Prediction I predict that as I raise the temperature of the maggots, the rate of respiration will increase. I think this because respiration…

AbstractThe purpose of this experiment is to design and conduct a basic scientific experiment, identify and control variables. Some other objectives that we learned is to write a formal hypothesis, identify the basic and integrated process skills of science that were used in this experiment. Also, we will learned the effects of temperature on goldfish…

“Investigate the factors affecting the rate of yeast respiration” Lab Report Introduction The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of different amounts of a substrate on the respiration rate of yeast and to compare this to the effect of different amounts of glucose on the rate of yeast respiration. The substrate which…

What is bronchitis? Bronchitis is inflammation of the mucous membranes of the bronchi, the airways that carry air flow from the trachea to the lungs. This means, that it is the inflammation of the mucus producing layers on he bronchi. These layers are responsible for the protection of the bronchi. Bronchitis can be divided into…

Objectives: Observe the effects of cellular respiration on temperature in a closed system. Investigate carbon dioxide production in both germinating pea seeds and crickets. Perform an investigative study of the rate of cellular respiration in both pea seeds and crickets at various temperatures. Compare the alcoholic fermentation of glucose, sucrose, and starch by yeast. Ultimately…

6 Abstract: This experiment attempts to answer the question of whether an increase in a succinate concentration (a component of the Krebs cycle) will lead to an increased rate of cellular respiration within a cell. We measured the amount of electrons given off by the succinate to fumerate redox reaction by using DPIP. DPIP is…

The respiratory system is responsible for supplying our bodies with oxygen. This is done through respirations. There are two different respirations the external and the internal. The external respiration is the exchange of air between the lungs. This happens when oxygen is inhaled into the sacs of the lungs. Precisely at that time passes into…

R.S. is a long-time smoker who developed bronchitic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). He also has a history of coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular disease. His arterial blood gas (ABG) values are pH = 7.32, PaCO2 = 60 mm Hg, PaO2 = 50 mm Hg, HCO3 – = 30 mEq/L. His hematocrit is 52%…

By GERARD CHRETIEN BIOLOGYCellular PathwaysSeveral principles govern metabolic pathways in the cell:A. Complex chemical transformations in the cell do not occur in a single reaction, but in a number of small steps that are connected in a pathway. B. Each reaction is catalyzed by a specific enzyme. C. Metabolic pathways is catalyzed by a specific…
