Break bonds in nutrients to form ATP in mitochondria through aerobic reaction. Fermentation as an alternative in some cells, producing 2 ATP from glucose with CO2 and ethanol. Explore hypotheses on CO2 production in living organisms.
E N D
Cellular respiration • Break bonds in nutrients to form ATP • Where does it occur In eukaryotic cells? Mitochondria
Overall reaction is aerobic Glucose + Oxygen Carbon dioxide + Water Net 36 ATP
Fermentation • An alternative to cellular respiration in some cells, produces 2 ATP/glucose only • Glucose CO2 + ethanol + 2 ATP
CO2 production as a measure of fermentation See handout Assignment 7 Hypothesis: Fermentation of glucose, sucrose, and starch by yeast occurs at the same rate Yeast producing CO2
CELLULAR RESPIRATION Assignment 2: Hypotheses: Living organisms do not produce CO2 Experiment 1 air exhaled from lungs vs room air
CO2 production as a measure of cellular respiration Colorimetric test Bromthymol blue + CO2 yellow color What is the dependent variable? Cellular respiration Glucose + Oxygen Carbon dioxide + water Net 36 ATP
Experiment 2 Hypotheses: Living organisms do not produce CO2 Plant vs animal What is the independent variable?
Assignment 3: Hypothesis: Carbon dioxide does not accumulate in photosynthesizing cells Plants in light vs dark
