The Anaerobic respiration is a form of respiration process that uses a transport chain called physolmere, which is where the cellular respiration processes without oxygen, whereas aerobic respiration is a type of respiration where oxygen IS used. Anaerobic respiration mostly occurs in prokaryotes cells and mostly to plants and to organisms in “presence of very little or no oxygen” (BBC). Plant cells and microorganisms (e.g. yeast) produces carbon dioxide and ethanol (lactic acid) through anaerobic respiration. For example, in yeast the anaerobic reactions make alcohol; however, in your muscles, they make lactic acid. One type of anaerobic respiration is fermentation. Fermentation is another anaerobic way for breaking down glucose that performs through many types of cells. It is a process that allows cells to gain energy from efferent types of carbohydrates while being without oxygen to form carbon dioxide. Respiration is the process where the glucose (food) that s in the cell creaks down into smaller (simpler) substances and produces carbon dioxide and energy. The energy that is released during the respiration is a chemical energy. …show more content…
The light energy comes from sunlight and is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into other chemicals needed for growth (BBC). Plants perform photosynthesis to generate food and energy they need for growth and cellular respiration. They require light energy from the sun, water, and carbon dioxide. Water is absorbed from the roots in the soil to the steam and reaches the leaves. Carbon dioxide is from the atmosphere and goes through the pores of the leaves called the "stomata". Carbon dioxide usually comes from humans breathing out. Lastly, sun is absorbed through the leaves in the chloroplast, which hold something called "chlorophyll" (Photosynthesis
In this experiment the rate of cellular respiration was measured by the amount of CO2 in ppm per gram of substance produced by a given treatment group or the control over the course of ten minutes. CO2 levels were measured using a CO2 sensor. The sensor was given time to warm up then placed in a glass chamber with a sample from one of the treatment groups or a sample of control. CO2 levels in ppm were collected every four seconds for ten minutes by the sensor. The data was divided by the weight of the sample used to generate it, to give the respiration rate per gram of sample.
Sucrose fermentation: This fermentation makes energy available for use by microorganisms by anaerobic breakdown of carbohydrates. It can either be an acid or gas. When positive turns red to yellow and can have gas present which form bubbles. H2S production: H2S is a toxic gas produced by the decomposition of sulfur-containing amino acids cysteine and methionine or the reduction of inorganic sulfur compounds by enzymes of certain bacteria. If hydrogen sulfide is formed, it reacts with ferrous salts to form black metal sulfides that can be visualized
+ ATP Although plants and animals have different methods of obtaining glucose, the cell respiration process occurs in both types of organisms. Many external factors in the environment may affect the organism's’ rate of respiration such as the temperature of the surrounding,
We hypothesized that the beaker that is exposed to higher concentrations of light at a shorter distance from the lamp will produce lower amounts of carbon dioxide due to more available light energy. This experiment will show how the light intensity affects the cellular respiration and photosynthesis in the Elodea plant and whether higher light intensity really does prove more photosynthesis, and thus lower amounts of carbon dioxide, will be made. This experiment is important because it could provide evidence on whether light intensities affect the growth of Elodea and could help manage its
The process of photosynthesis is vital for the survival of most life on Earth. Without photosynthesis plant life would be unable to create its own food and sustain themselves causing them to die. Earth would lack the oxygen and energy that plant life provides. Producers are the main source of energy for living organisms because they can directly absorb light energy and turn it into chemical energy. Animals then eat the plants which give them a portion of that energy.
Many organisms use energy to perform their cellular functions. That energy comes from the energy that is stored in food then converted to adenosine triphosphate or ATP. ATP can be obtained with or without oxygen, aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration produces carbon dioxide (CO2) as a by-product while anaerobic respiration produces Ethanol (C2H6O) or Lactic acid (C3H6O3). In aerobic respiration the “CO2 produced during cellular respiration can combine with water to produce carbonic acid.”
All organisms use food molecules, like glucose to produce ATP. The production of ATP occurs during cellular respiration. ATP provides the cells with energy that is necessary to produce oxygen. The seeds/plants are autotrophic organisms, which produce their food from the energy that the light provides them. To release the stored energy within the food molecules, the germinated seeds carry out respiration and the release of carbon dioxide.
There are wide variety of biotechnology application includes biological, biochemical, bioengineering, genetic and control techniques. One of the oldest biotechnical processes is the baking of breads(1). This process originated in ancient times and the general method is to mix flour with other ingredients. For instance, water, salt and some source of aeration followed by baking. The making of fermented bread was initiate by the Egyptians during 2000 BC.
Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts; green organelles inside plant cells. The thylakoid inside Chloroplasts absorb the sunlight energy needed for photosynthesis. The pigment in the thylakoid absorbs light; however, plants reflect green light. This gives plants their color. If different colors of light are shown on spinach leaves and CO2 consumption is measured, then the spinach leaves given green light will consume the least amount of CO2 due to reduced photosynthesis activity.
When oxygen is involved, glycolysis is the beginning step of the process known as, aerobic cellular respiration. When oxygen is not involved, cells are only allowed to produce small quantities of ATP, this process is called anaerobic
photosynthesis and cellular respiration are extremely important in the cycle of energy to sustain life simply because nutrients would not metabolize in a productive manner. Both have numerous stages in which the process of energy occurs, and relationships with organelles located in the eukaryotic cell. Photosynthesis is a process by which green plant and other organism manufacture their food using sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water while cellular respiration is the oxidation of organic compounds that occurs within cells, producing energy for cellular processes. Photosynthesis occurs within organelles called chloroplasts. These organelles can absorb light, and are located inside of leaves.
Sugar/ glucose is an important carbohydrate that can be made during photosynthesis from water and carbon dioxide, using energy from sunlight. Carbon dioxide is given off as a waste product when energy is released by the breaking down of glucose. This can be used by plant cells in the process of photosynthesis to form new carbohydrates. Yeast is a single-celled fungus that can break down sugars (glucose) to help produce carbon dioxide. Research Question
Then, tests are performed to determine if the products of aerobic and anaerobic respiration are present in the flasks. The citric acid cycle consists of a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to release stored energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into carbon dioxide and chemical energy in the form of ATP (Biology). The tests detect the presence of carbon dioxide and ethanol. Carbon dioxide should be present irrespective of the type of respiration taking place, but ethanol is present only if fermentation has occurred. Another factor that can indicate whether fermentation occurred or cellular respiration occurred is the amount of glucose utilized during incubation.
Research Question: How does the presence of light impact the rate of transpiration in plants? Aim: The aim of this experiment was to investigate how the presence of light affects the rate of transpiration in plants. Hypothesis: As light intensity increases, the rate of transpiration (water uptake) in a plant increases.
Algae and autotrophs carry out oxygen there for generating photosynthesis, and then they use the
