Lab Experiment: The Effect of Temperature and Respiration

Introduction: Breathing is often referred to as inhalation and exhalation or breathing, its definition is more clear. This is a definition of the cell level involved in eukaryotic cells. Cell respiration can be best explained by the following formula: C 6 h 120 6 + 60 2 - 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + 36 ATP. ATP is the energy the cell needs as part of the cell's respiration. ATP needs to promote cellular processes. When cells are rejected, the cells die. The second law of thermodynamics shows that as long as the energy changes, energy disappears as heat.

Respiration is related to enzymes that may be affected by temperature. The breathing rate rises with increasing temperature until the optimum temperature is reached. This is the place of the highest respiration rate. As the temperature rises further, the enzyme activity decreases only when the enzyme begins to degenerate.

This experiment was designed to determine the effect of cold water temperature on goldfish respiration rate. Breathing rate helps to distinguish goldfish as isotherm or endothermic line. Organisms exchange their environment and gas through processes called breathing or breathing. Aerobic respiration, also known as aerobic metabolism, occurs when oxygen enters the body and is transported to all of its cells, which then uses oxygen to destroy food energy (White and Campo 2008 )

This figure reduces the influence of water temperature on the breath rate of goldfish. Discussion At the end of the experiment, two hypotheses were reviewed. Since the water temperature affected the normal respiration pattern of goldfish, the null hypothesis was ignored and the alternative hypothesis was accepted. From the results of this experiment it can be concluded that the temperature is the main factor, although other environmental factors have little effect on the breathing rate of aquatic external fever.

In the laboratory, the relative amount of O 2 consumed by germinated pea and ungerminated pea at room temperature and 10 ° C. was measured. The main aim was to discover the effects of germination and temperature on the respiration rate of the cells. The results showed that respirometer with germinated pea has higher cell respiration rate than ungerminated pea and cell respiration is faster at 10 ° C. Experiment demonstrates the influence of environmental factors on cell respiration

The laboratory is used to determine the relationship between natural gas production and breathing rate. Justin Pyka and I did a laboratory in Myers's room on 12th December 2000. The laboratory is finished with seeds of dormant peas and germinated peas. This was done to test the effect of temperature on cell respiration rate in ungerminated and germinated seeds. The amount of gas in the respirometer must be determined. This was done to determine how much oxygen was consumed during the experiment. The respirometer contains seeds of peas which germinate or do not germinate. I think that germinated seeds have higher oxygen consumption rate than seeds that do not germinate in a room temperature water bath. I guess the reason for this hypothesis is that the dormant seed is not yet a plant so it is not necessary to breathe. Since germinated seeds consume more oxygen as they grow, you need to go through this process to consume oxygen.
