Essays on Respiration

Photorespiration, as the name suggests is the process by which the most abaundant protein on earth, RubisCO, uses up oxygen or adds oxygen to the 5 carbon sugar rubisco bisphosphate, instead of carbon dioxide as in the process of photosynthesis. It is the alternate pathway used by the enzyme. This enzyme being both a carboxylase…

Cellular Respiration Lab Essay, Research Paper Introduction This lab was done to find the relationship of gas production to respiration rate. Justin Pyka and I did the lab on December 12th, 2000 in Mr. Myers ’ room. The lab was done with hibernating pea seeds and shooting pea seeds. It was done to prove the…

Cellular respiration begins with glucose. Glucose is the primary fuel used in glycolysis, the first stage of cellular respiration. This molecule is found in the gel-like substance called cytoplasm that fills the cell. In glycolysis, glucose undergoes phosphorylation by ATP. The ATP is converted back to ADP. The glucose molecule is rearranged and undergoes a…

In order to find the consequence of the substrate on the rate of respiration of barm. Durham trial tubing method was used in the first experiment. In this method two trial tubings was obtain. where trial tubing one contains distilled H20 with the 7 milliliter substrate glucose while trial tubing two contains distilled H20 and…

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…

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…

Several principles govern metabolic pathways in the cell: 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. Each reaction is catalyzed by a specific enzyme. Metabolic pathways is catalyzed by a specific enzyme. Many metabolic pathways are compartmentalized,…
