Respiration Flashcards
Breathing
Mechanical process of taking air into lungs and expelling stale air
Respiration
Respiration is a chemical reaction that takes place in all cell s to release energy
Composition of oxygen carbon dioxide and nitrogen in inhaled and exhaled air
Inhaled air:
Oxygen 21% carbon dioxide 0.04% Nitrogen 79%
Exhaled air:
Oxygen 16% carbon dioxide 4% nitrogen 79%
Respiration equation
energy
Glucose + oxygen ———> carbon dioxide + water
What will limewater turn when carbon dioxide is present?
From clear colourless to cloudy when carbon dioxide is present
Hydrogen carbonate soloution in different concentrations of co2
An indicator to measure levels of co2
Red in equilibrium with atmospheric air
More orange/ yellow with increased co2 levels
Changes red through magenta to deep purple as carbon dioxide is removed
investigating effect of temperature in yeast
Variable we will change (independent) water bath temperature
Variable we will measure (dependent) volume of carbon dioxide released
Control variables: volume of yeast solution
Time we leave solution for
Size of measuring cylinder
Method
Collect 10 ml yeast solution in boiling tube
Put this in water bath- leave for 3-5 mins to acclimatise
Half fill tub of water and fully fill measuring cylinder, hand over top of cylinder and stand it upside down in tub so still full of water
Place bung end of delivery tube in boiling tube
Place end of delivery tube in water measuring cylinder and record how much co2 is made every 1 min
Repeat
CORMSS
Change- independent Organism- living organisms similar ap Repeats- at least 3 improves reliability Measure- dependent Measure- how will measure dependent. Same x2- what is control variables?
Reliable
Recording similar results gives more confidence that your data is accurate. Repeats = reliability and helps identify anomalies
Accurate
The proximity of a measured value to true value
Valid
Controlling all other variables other than independent = more valid + data more accurate
Anaerobic respiration
No oxygen needed
Glucose —> lactic acid
Cramps because build up of lactic acid
Respiration- what is it used for?
Growing, reproduction, digestion, insulation, contraction of muscles for movement.
Some Energy from respiration is released as ….
