The Effect Of Exercise On Cellular Respiration

142 Words1 Page

Cellular respiration is when cells break down food and release energy along with oxygen and water. Oxygen is needed for glycolysis, the first stage of cellular respiration, to occur because if no oxygen is there, then fermentation takes place. With oxygen present, glycolysis continues to the krebs cycle which then carries high energy electrons to the electron transport chain through NADH and FADH2. After this process fully goes through the whole cycle, energy is released and cellular respiration has taken place. In this lab we test the effects that exercise has on cellular respiration. To test this resting heart rate and breathing rate are measured in number per minute. Then blow into BTB to measures the amount of CO2 being released when you

    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.

    Also during exercise the amount of glucose produced by cells increases due the requirement for more ATP from working muscles, than from those at rest. The influx of glucose to the bloodstream after consuming a meal or snack shows how the components of the glucose homeostasis system work together to re-establish normal blood glucose concentration. The rainbow rage is a long and tiresome race, therefore, blood glucose levels may run low due to their depletion.

    Understanding respiratory volumes, capacities, and measurements will help me perform my job as a medical assistant because they are significant being a medical assistant. First of all, when the patient is on the bed, I will measure the respiratory rate while he/she is at relaxation. In the next, I will observe the rise and fall of the victim 's chest and count the number of respirations for one full minute. Then, I will record the current time, respiratory rate and respiratory characteristics. Spirometry is used diagnose conditions that affect breathing such as asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and cystic fibrosis.

    If we imagine that an individual has begun exercising, the oxygen uptake increases because there is a higher demand for energy. Oxygen is the ultimate source of energy that allows ATP to be generated. More ATP must be made in order for homeostasis to be maintained. After a prolonged period of exercise, lactic acid accumulation begins to occur in the tissues of the body because the energy for oxygen uptake can no longer be supplied after a certain period of time of exercise. When the individual ends exercising, it takes time for the oxygen uptake to return to its resting level because the lactic acid that had accumulated in the tissues must be broken down into CO2 and H2O.

    It would decrease the number by one for any interval, where there is an observed decrease in the depth of breathing. If the depth of breathing doesn’t change significantly from one interval to the next, then repeat the same number had for the previous interval. Repeat this whole process, but with a second observer doing the pre-lab activity. Afterwards, compare the results for the two observe, by checking the criteria used, and attempt to agree on reliable procedures for rating the depth of breathing. Next, switch roles to have a new subject and a timer and two new observers of depth of breathing.

    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.”

    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.

    Cardiovascular Response to Exercise Introduction The cardiovascular system, comprising of blood vessels, the heart, and blood, responds predictably with regards to the increased exercise demands (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 62). In a sense, a series of cardiovascular changes take place in response to physical exercise for providing enough blood supply to the constricting muscles, to dissipate the energy produced by active muscles, and to maintain the supply of blood to vital organs of the body such as the brain and the heart (Agarwal et al.

    The maximal test measures the volume of air that is expired by an individual. This expired air is then analyzed to determine the oxygen and carbon dioxide content is done using either a Douglas bags or the metabolic cart. Whereas the submaximal test is create to ensure the intensity does not exceed 85% of the individual’s maximal heart rate. The physiological rationale for the submaximal testing is that heart rate and work rate have a linear relationship. The submaximal test, provides an estimate of an individual’s VO2max not the actual VO2max.
