Cellular Respiration
Cellular Respiration I/ Introduction - Cellular respiration is the cellular process whereby carbon-containing compounds are broken down through the series of reactions that result in the gradual release of energy. - Cellular respiration consumes oxygen (O2) and produces (CO2). Because oxygen is required so cellular respiration is aerobic. - Include metabolic pathways: glycolysis, transition reaction, the Krebs cycle, electron transport system and oxidative phosphorylation. - Overall reaction: C6H12O6 + 6O2 => 6H2O + 6 CO2

Photosynthesis and Respiration
All organisms on earth depend on photosynthesis, in which light energy is used to make sugar and other food molecules from carbon dioxide and water. For example, plants and other photo-synthesizers need only energy from sunlight, carbon dioxide from air, and water from the soil to make the sugar glucose. Photosynthesis is the most important chemical process on earth because it provides food for virtually all organisms, not only for photo-synthesizers but for the organisms

Cellular Reproduction
Cellular Reproduction Cellular Reproduction is the process by which all living things produce new organisms similar or identical to themselves. This has to happen because if a species were not able to reproduce, that species would quickly become extinct. Reproduction consists of a basic pattern: the conversion by a parent organism of raw materials into offspring or cells that will later develop into offspring. The reproductive process, whether asexual or sexual always involves an exchange

Photosynthesis
1A.) Translation is the synthesis of a polypeptide using genetic information which is encoded in an mRNA (messenger RNA) molecule. The information which is encoded changes from molecules to amino acids. It also lines codons and anticodons and eventually makes tRNA (transfer RNA). Messenger RNA turns into transfer RNA during translation. The basic concept of translation is that molecules of mRNA are moved through a ribosome and codons are translated into amino acids. Transfer RNA

Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis When you and me eat, we find our food. When plants eat, they make their own food and energy. They make their food and energy through a process called photosynthesis. Through photosynthesis oxygen is also produced.

The Effects of Photosynthesis on Bean Plants
The Effects of Photosynthesis on Bean Plants Purpose: To determine how the quantity of light will effect the growth of a bean from seed. Hypothesis: I think that the bean that is in light constantly for 24 hours will grow more quickly than the bean in full sunlight and in partial sunlight. I think that it will grow faster because it has a constant source of light every day. This will allow the bean to

Rate of Photosynthesis
The rate of photosynthesis can be affected by sunlight, temperature, CO2 and O2, and any factor that influences the production of chlorophyll, enzymes, or energy carriers. The rate of photosynthesis will always correspond to that factor which is in least supply. Its rate will only increase when its supply is increased. An experiment on the effect of light intensity can be done to measure the rate of photosynthesis. You can expose samples of a plant

Photosynthesis
Abstract Photosynthesis is used to synthesize complex organic materials from carbon dioxide, water, and inorganic salts, using light as the source of energy. The purpose of this experiment was to measure the optimum wavelength and light intensity at which photosynthesis occurs. A buffer solution containing DCPIP was mixed and chloroplasts were added. Different wavelengths and light intensities were tested on the solutions, and a control was used to monitor for any change without light exposure.
