Respiration And Crayfish

146 Words1 Page

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.” While CO2 is produced, the amount of CO2 produced is different depending on the organisms, in this case crayfish. To test the changes in pH, NaOH is used to neutralize the carbonic acid produced by the crayfish, by which the

    My 8th grade class went to the Conodoguinet creek to test if there was any pollution in the creek water. Before we went my hypothesis was, “If we go to the Conodoguinet creek and test the water, then the creek will have little to any pollution in it because we haven’t had a monstrous storm in the past few months so there wouldn’t be an excessive amount of acid rainfall or runoff” There are three types of macroinvertebrates ( an invertebrate fauna - animal of a particular region - that can be captured by a soo - which is a certain net or sieve - ) that we were looking for, Group 1 ( which is pollution sensitive - they cannot have any pollution- ), Group 2 ( which is somewhat pollution tolerant - they can live with some pollution-) and Group

    Materials and Methods: To gather the needed data on the crayfish, samples were collected at Pearson’s Creek, a little outside Springfield. The spring was right off the road and located directly next to a little over pass. Sampling occurred early morning 0830-0930 on a cloudy day. The weather was a typical mild late summer morning with a rain shower that had passed through the evening before. Two sampling areas that were 10-meters long and the width of the stream were marked off using flags and sticking them in the rocks of the shallow area of the creek.

  • Essay On Calcium Fallacy

    895 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Calcium Fallacy “Humans are creatures of habit and of predictable emotions - that preside over logic,” writes Robert R. Barefoot in Death by Diet. He refers to the fact that we human beings, even intelligent, scientific-minded ones, tend to stick to the status quo, even when it’s not valid and makes no sense. Hence, when new information threatens his/her previously held convictions, the average scientist (being human) can use all kinds of fallacious reasoning to controvert new information - especially if his/her livelihood is at stake. The history of the science that precedes medicine is always centuries behind where it ought to be, because it takes centuries for new information to be accepted by the established orthodoxy, and, right now, we’re in the midst of an emerging new paradigm and the passing of an old one, which makes it hard to know who and what to trust.

Also in Table 1 the beaker containing elodea leaf placed in the dark for 1 hour showed O2 levels of 7.2 ppm about the same as the control aged water at a level of 7.6 ppm. Although the prediction was photosynthesis would slow down releasing less O2 than the elodea leaf in aged water placed in light. It seemed to halt photosynthesis all together not releasing any extra

    The glucose will be used in cellular respiration for energy and some of the oxygen will exit the plant through the stomata to provide the world with air to breath (Simms, 2017). Cellular respiration is the next step which is a light independent reaction which takes the glucose and some oxygen from photosynthesis and produces CO2 and H2O. The balance of

    Cellular respiration, the first phase is Glycolysis, a six-carbon sugar being glucose goes through chemical transformations. The result of this is two molecules of pyruvate. Throughout the first phase ATP is made and NAD+ is turned into NADH. Next of is a mini-phase prior to the Kreb Cycle, in this mini-phase pyruvate reacts with coenzyme A, a reaction produces carbon dioxide, NADH, acetyl CoA. The next phase is the Krebs Cycle or the Citric Acid Cycle, Acetyl CoA made in the previous step joins with the four-carbon molecule and goes through a cycle of reactions, this refuels the four-carbon molecule that is the starter.

    Before conducting this experiment, it is critical to understand what cellular respiration is and what it does. Cellular respiration is a process that turns sugars, like glucose, into the energy that we call ATP. ATP is the energy used in our body to complete other processes like polymer synthesis and muscle contraction. This process occurs in the cells of an organism. During the procedure, oxygen is taken in, glucose is broken down, CO2 is released, and ATP and H2O are produced.

    Cellular respiration is the process of creating ATP. There are three steps, glycolysis, citric acid cycle and electron transport chain. Not one step can occur without the other. Glycolysis is the anaerobic process of breaking down glucose into a useable form of energy. Within the cytosol of a cell a glucose molecule breaks down into 2 pyruvate molecules.

    In addition, when crayfish were acclimated to 30°C, at least two unique acidic protein bands with isoelectric points (pI) ranging from approximately 4.6 to 4.8 were expressed (Powell and Watts 2006). Threrefore, the adding of acidic protein must have played an essential role in increasing the ability of hemocyanin to bind oxygen. Alteration in gene expression usually took days to happen, therefore crayfish that were acclimated to 20°C would be fine to acutely exposed to 10°C, because

    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.

    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.

  • Ocean Acidification Essay

    Ever since the industrial revolution commenced, around one third of the carbon dioxide released by human interference has been absorbed by the ocean, which is one of the reasons of the drastic change in climate as well. Without the ocean absorbing carbon dioxide, the carbon dioxide n the atmosphere would be drastically higher, with possibly increasing the levels of climate change. The point of the research is to see how will the pH affect the organisms in the marine ecosystem and does carbonation affect an organism’s mass and form. Many organisms that are part of the marine food chain are going to be affected by ocean acidification due the levels of acidity deteriorating the calcium carbonate within the animal. It turns out
