& cellular respiration are the main pathways of energy flow in living things. Photosynthesis is a process by which plants and some other organisms convert, light energy from the sun, CO2 from the air & H2O from the earth, into chemical energy stored in molecules like glucose. Cellular respiration is a process in which O2 is delivered to cells in an organism & metabolic process in cells leads to the production of ATP by the breakdown of organic substances. Cellular Respiration is the process

Metabolism Western Governors University Aston Portis 1. All enzymes are catalyst because they cause a chemical reaction to take place faster than it would on its own. It also does not get used during the reaction (Hudon-Miller, 2012). 2. (Hudon-Miller, 2012). 3. (Hudon-Miller, 2012). 4. Fructose is component of sucrose, normal table sugar, along with glucose. Whereas glucose is able to immediately enter into glycolysis, fructose is not. Fructose is broken down via fructokinase

Task 4: Metabolism 1. They speed up reactions and do not change themselves, which means they can be used over and over. Enzymes help facilitate chemical reactions. Enzymes will lower the activation energy needed to start the reaction and that is how the reaction will be sped up. Enzymes are specific for certain reactions and are proteins. Not all catalysts though are enzymes. (Sanders, 2014) 2. (Gresham HS IB Biology, 2007) 3. (Hudon-Miller, S. 2012) 4 & 5. When table sugar

The equipment that i used in the experiment was accurate but when i did my measurements some of time was inaccurate because I didn’t measure it straight away.

Photosynthetic Stages Joe Alanis BIO/204 March 19, 2016 Cynthia Collins-Clausen Explain how CO2 enters leaves. What environmental factors control stomatal movement? How are these factors related to physical and chemical properties that control the opening and closing of stomata? CO2 is capable of entering into the leaves from very tiny pores located under the leaf called “stomata”, where it is then used to help synthesize carbohydrates from light energy. When the process ceases and the

Title: To investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of respiration. Introduction: In this experiment, we are going to investigate how the rate of respiration is affected by changes of temperature. Hypothesis: I think that the rate of respiration increases as the temperature increases; on the contrary, the rate of respiration decreases as temperature decreases. The reason is that as temperature increases until a certain point, acetyl-CoA works most efficiently, so that the amount

intensity and the rate of photosynthesis. Introduction This lab was conducted to examine the two biological processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Photosynthesis is a process that uses carbon dioxide, water and energy to produce glucose and oxygen. Cellular Respiration is the reverse process of photosynthesis. Cellular Respiration uses the glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water and energy. These become the main source of food and energy for the plants and animals. The

Respiration Glossary Term | Definition | Glycolysis | Metabolic pathway in the first stage of respiration. Occurs in the cytoplasm | | Addition of a phosphate group to a molecule e.g. ADP to form ATP | Hydrolysis | Splitting a large molecule into smaller molecules by the chemical addition of water | | Enzyme/Protein complexes which can pick up and then pass on electrons | | An enzyme associated with the stalked particles in mitochondria which catalyses the addition of phosphate to
