Chapter 7 Cellular Respiration Process

461 Words2 Pages

Chapter 7 Term Paper
Cellular respiration is the process at which organisms get energy through the production of ATP. Cellular respiration occurs in all cells of the body and is the reason why people breathe everyday. Cellular respiration uses four steps to convert glucose into ATP. Glycolysis and the Citric Acid Cycle are two important metabolic pathways of the cellular respiration process. This paper will outline these two methods giving insight on where they occur, their importance and what they contribute to the cellular respiration process.
Glycolysis occurs outside of the mitochondria—more specifically in the cytoplasm—of a cell. This metabolic pathway is the first phase in the complete breakdown of glucose molecules. Glycolysis can

    Why creatine is your best friend Through the years there have been quite a few dietary supplements that promise natural muscle growth and performance enhancing effects. Of these, no preparations attracted such attention as creatine. Creatine is a naturally occurring substance that forms the body from the amino acids arginine, glycine and methionine, which are mainly found in the muscles. Creatine is also found in foods such as meat and fish.

    ● Glycolysis can not proceed without a continual source of NAD+ to be reduced by the generation of electrons from splitting glucose. ● Without the small amount of ATP generated by glycolysis (2 net ATP) organisms would not have the ability to oxidize glucose which is the primary source of energy for most cells. ● In order to regenerate NAD+, pyruvate is reduced by NADH to form lactate (deprotonated lactic acid) and NAD+. This allows glycolysis to proceed.

    Elodea Canadensis is an aquatic weed that, like any other plant, uptakes carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and produces it through aerobic respiration. The purpose of this experiment was to measure the amount of carbon dioxide production in Elodea Canadensis plant with varying light source distances in order to understand whether more photosynthesis than aerobic respiration in the plant has occurred. This was done through a two-day experiment where the Elodea plant was first placed under a light source 30 cm away from the plant in the beaker with saturated carbon dioxide and then, on the second day, placed 20 cm under the light source. The amount of carbon dioxide was measured with phenolphthalein and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and compared

    Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to test for mitochondrial activity by isolating different organelles using the differential centrifugation process. Studying mitochondria is extremely important because they control the death and life of the cell by regulating the apoptotic signals (Frezza et al 2007). Also they are responsible for the metabolic reactions (aerobic respiration) and the production of ATP (Frezza et al 2007). Three hypotheses were formed based on my knowledge.

    Cellular respiration can be measured by the consumption of oxygen, the consumption of carbon dioxide, and the release of energy during cellular respiration. Within the experiment conducted, the relative volume of O2 consumed was measured into different temperatures within germinating and nongerminating peas, (DeStefano). Fluids and gas flow from regions of high-pressure to regions of low-pressure this carbon dioxide produced during cellular respiration will be removed by potassium hydroxide and will form a solid potassium carbonate. Due to the removal of carbon dioxide, the change in the volume of gas in the respirometer will be directly related to the amount of oxygen consumed. In this experiment using a respirometer, the scientists were able to measure the amount of oxygen being consumed in relation to how quickly the peas were respiring.

    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.”

    This is very similar and related to the previously discussed objective of being able to identify biological processes that require energy. Modeling the way organisms capture and store free energy was achieved in several different labs, including the cellular respiration lab. In the lab, we modeled how an organism can capture and use energy through facilitating the germination of seeds. Germination is a very complex biological process that requires the capture and storage of energy for later use. Modeling this process allows further investigation and greater understanding of how energy is captured and used by

    Cellular Respiration One of the main essentials of life that all organisms need in order to function in our world is, energy. We receive that energy from the food that we eat. Cellular respiration is the most efficient way for a cell to receive the energy stored in food. In cellular respiration, a catabolic pathway, which breaks down the molecules into smaller units, in order to produce adenosine triphosphate, also known as, ATP. ATP, is used by cells in the act of regular cellular operations, it is a “high energy” molecule.

    The stomata are the most critical piece to this process, as this is where CO2 enters and can be stored, and where water and O2 exit. Cellular respiration also known as oxidative metabolism is important to convert biochemical energy from nutrients in the cells of living organisms to useful energy known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Without cellular respiration living organisms would not be able to sustain life. This process is done by cells exchanging gases within its surroundings to create adenosine triphosphate commonly known as ADT, which is used by the cells as a source of energy. This process is done through numerous reactions; an example is metabolic pathway.

    In order for cells to produce ATP, a source of energy found in every cell, they must respire. Cellular respiration is a process in which cells break down organic substances in order for energy to be released, which in turn generates ATP (Upadhyaya, 2018). ATP is essential for a cell's life, which is why cellular respiration must occur persistently (Upadhyaya, 2018). The equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 í 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (~36 ATP)
