    The Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Respiration in Yeast I have chosen to investigate the affect temperature has on the rate of respiration in yeast. I will use an experiment to determine whether the yeast's rate of respiration will be quicker, slower or if it does not change when the temperature is varied. Scientific Knowledge The first thing to say about enzymes is that they are proteins and they are found in all types of organisms from humans to viruses. They function in the

    Investigation Into the Effect of Temperature On the Rate of Respiration of Yeast Preliminary Work For my preliminary work, I am working with 35ml of yeast. I think that this is the best volume to use as it is about ¾ of a test tube full, and it allows for the yeasts expansion when heated. I am trying to find out the best range of temperatures to be used in finding out the respiration of the yeast, and I am also trying to find an equilibration time that can be used in the main experiment

    1871 Words  | 4 Pages

    Temperature on the Rate of Respiration in Yeast There are two types of respiration in yeast: Aerobic: [IMAGE] Anaerobic: Glucose [IMAGE] Carbon dioxide + ethanol + energy Respiration is controlled by enzymes, which are proteins which speed up one or more biological reactions. Within any cell many chemical reactions are going on at any one time. Yeast has many different types of enzymes that speed up respiration. Prediction I predict that as temperature increases, the rate will also increase

  • Investigate the Effect of Moisture Content on Wheat Grain Seed's Respiration Rate

    1532 Words  | 4 Pages

    Investigate the Effect of Moisture Content on Wheat Grain Seed's Respiration Rate HYPOTHESIS: There will be a positive correlation between moisture content of wheat grains and their respiration rate. Therefore as the moisture content (independent variable) increases so will the respiration rate (dependent variable). The rationale behind the hypothesis came from studying photosynthesis in plants. During the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, the photolysis of water (H2O) occurs inside

  • The Effect on the Rate of Respiration of Yeast Cells with Glucose when the Temperature is Varied

    4673 Words  | 10 Pages

    The Effect on the Rate of Respiration of Yeast Cells with Glucose when the Temperature is Varied Aim The aim of the experiment is to investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of respiration of yeast cells with glucose. As yeast cells use up glucose in respiration, carbon dioxide gas is given off. Measurements of the volume of carbon dioxide gas given off within a set amount of time can be used to measure the rate of reaction. A fast rate of reaction would be indicated by a large

  • Investigating the Effects of Temperature on the Rate of Respiration of Blowfly Larvae

    1385 Words  | 3 Pages

    Investigating the Effects of Temperature on the Rate of Respiration of Blowfly Larvae This experiment was setup to investigate the effects of temperature on the rate of respiration of blowfly larvae. Background Knowledge The maggots involved in this investigation were blowflies at the larval stage of development, and they breathe through spiracles in the anterior and posterior segments. The respiratory tracts are not as developed at this stage, as the organism is not capable of flight

  • Rate of Respiration in Yeast

    1551 Words  | 4 Pages

    Rate of Respiration in Yeast Aim: I am going to investigate the rate of respiration of yeast cells in the presence of two different sugar solutions: glucose, sucrose. I will examine the two solutions seeing which one makes the yeast respire faster. I will be able to tell which sugar solution is faster at making the yeast respire by counting the number of bubbles passed through 20cm of water after the yeast and glucose solutions have been mixed. Prediction: I predict that the glucose solution

  • Stress, The Double-Edged Sword

    1519 Words  | 4 Pages

    Not to say stress is a recent disorder among humans, in fact, all organisms experience it. Stress is a part of the 'fight or flight' response, usually the result of threatening or worrisome event. The body increases the heart rate, blood pressure and respiration rate, preparing in the event of actually needing to fight or retreat (1). For most animals, stress tends to come from acting out of self-preservation. The fleeing rabbit experiences stress as it bolts for the safety of its hole. In fact

  • The Problems of Anxiety Disorders

    1307 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Problems of Anxiety Disorders Anxiety is a normal reaction to a threatening situation and results from an increase in the amount of adrenaline from the sympathetic nervous system. This increased adrenaline speeds the heart and respiration rate, raises blood pressure, and diverts blood flow to the muscles. These physical reactions are appropriate for escaping from danger but when they cause anxiety in many situations throughout the day, they may be detrimental to a normal lifestyle. An anxiety

    the specific memory of the emotion. After a frightful experience, one can remember the logical reasons for the experience (e.g. the time and place) but one will also "feel" the memory, and his body will react as such (i.e. increased heart and respiration rate, sweating). In one recent case, after a near drowining incident, the victim could not only vividly remember each detail, but when doing so, his body reacted as though he were reliving the experience. These feelings of memory are stored in an

    semester in my Biology Lab, I was given the assignment of writing a lab report as my final for the class. The prompt that I was given said to, “Write a lab report based on the results of the cellular respiration experiment”. This required that I conduct an experiment comparing the cellular respiration rates of germinating peas and non-germinating peas, and I was to record my findings in the form of a lab report. Everything was provided for by the instructor, including all materials needed to conduct

  • How Does Sucrose Affect The Rate Of Cellular Respiration In Yeast

    1102 Words  | 3 Pages

    Introduction Cellular respiration is a series of metabolic reactions, in which cells of most organisms carry out to produce energy. Yeast are single-celled organisms, classified in the Fungi family, that carry out this process, converting sugar, as a source of energy, and oxygen to create adenosine tripohosphate (ATP) for other chemical reactions. If the yeast cell is in a situation when oxygen is not present, the cell will undergo fermentation, which produces carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol, aiding

    with nictitating membrane while the trunk consist of two pairs of limbs that are used for locomotion. Respiration generally is the process of transport of oxygen and the carbon dioxide. Generally, oxygen enters the lung by inhalation while the carbon dioxide expels from the lung by exhalation (Johnson, 2012). In amphibians such as frog, skins and lung are respiratory organs that involve in respiration process. However, circulation system involves blood that plays a major role in transportation of oxygen

    could be lethal, and also release carbon dioxide (Hisa et al. 2013). Oxygen has become essential over time but there is major difference in aquatic respiration versus land reparation in vertebrates. In osteichthyes (bony fish), the largest group of modern fish, counter current flow is required for the most efficient form of gas exchange and respiration when chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fish) use ram ventilation. Fish in general require a more efficient form of gas exchange then mammals because their

  • Lab Experiment: The Effect of Temperature and Respiration

    627 Words  | 2 Pages

    Introduction: Respiration commonly known as the inhalation and exhaling or breathing has a more little known definition. This is the definition that involves the cellular level of eukaryotic cells. Cellular respiration may best be described by the following equation: C6h1206+602-6CO2+6H20+36ATP. ATP that is the energy needed for a cell to function as part of cellular respiration. ATP is needed to power the cell processes. If cells are denied energy they will die. The second law of thermal dynamics
