Oxidative phosphorylation is a metabolic pathway that uses energy released by the oxidation of nutrients to produce ATP. Oxidative phosphorylation uses the electrochemical gradient, set up by the oxidation of nutrients, of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane to generate ATP from ADP. During oxidative phosphorylation, electrons are transferred from electron donors to electron acceptors…

Cellular respiration is a catabolic reaction that refers to the process of converting chemical energy of organic molecules into a simplify form so it can be used immediately by organism. Glucose may be oxidized completely if sufficient oxygen is available, by the following equation: C6H12O6 + 36 ADP + 36Pi + 6O2(g) 6 H2O +…

We as humans need a way to gather oxygen from our enviroment to survive. In response our body has a system that carries outwhich is the distrubition of oxygen to the blood and the disposal of the waste product carbon dioxide. In the human breathing process the first step is the breath in. First we…

Until recently, the discourse concerning the anatomical demarcation of lungs was seemingly not an essential subject and very little was understood about lungs (Shields, 1992). However, with the current development of endoscopic as well as radiographic techniques together with pulmonary surgery advancement, detailed study regarding the anatomy of lungs has become a necessity in medical…

Part A: Abstract: This report examines the role of Cellular Respiration in germinating and non-germinating peas. Cellular Respiration is a complex set of chemical reactions that starts with Glucose oxidation, transferring energy to ATP molecules and providing cellular energy. This process also produces Water and Carbon dioxide as byproducts. The objective was to determine if…

IntroductionCellular 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. When it occurs without oxygen, it…

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. I predict that as I raise the temperature of the maggots, the rate of respiration will increase. I think this because respiration is an enzyme-dependant…

“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 germinating pea seeds and crickets. Perform an investigative study of the rate of cellular respiration in both pea seeds and crickets at different temperatures. Compare the alcoholic fermentation of glucose, sucrose, and starch by yeast. Ultimately, the…
