Aerobic
requires oxygen
anaerobic
doesn’t require oxygen
respirometer
devie for measuring he amount of gas given off/ and consumed
cellular respiration equation
C6H12o2+(6)CO2+(6)H2O+ENERGY
Aerobic example
cellular respiration
anaerobic example
fermentation
cellular respiration definition
oxidation of organic molecules coinciding with a release of energy (ATP)
fermentation definition
breakdown of sugar in the absence of o2
Which process is a high energy yielding process?
cellular respiration
Where does cellular respiration occur?
mitochondria
Where does fermentation occur?
cytoplasm
How does a respirometer work?
as o2 is used up, pressure of the gases inside the respirometer decreases. This allows water to move inside the pipette
Diploid
2 chromosome pairs in the nuclei
Haploid
nuclei with 1 chromosome
homologous chromosomes
2 chromosomes of a pair
