Cellular respiration is a process in which cells produce the energy they need to survive. Cells use oxygen to break down the sugar glucose and store its energy in molecules of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Cellular respiration is critical for the survival of most organisms because the energy in glucose cannot be used by cells until it is stored in ATP. Two critical ingredients required for cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen. Although most organisms on Earth carry out cellular respiration to generate ATP, a few rely on alternative pathways to make this vital molecule. These pathways are anaerobic
that is, they don't require oxygen. Fermentation is a type of anaerobic pathway used by certain species of bacteria that live in anaerobic environments, such as stagnant ponds or decaying vegetation. Some cells produce ATP using both anaerobic and aerobic pathways ( Lagunzad, 2004).

Introduction
Cellular respiration refers to all the metabolic processes and chemical reactions that take place in living organisms, particularly at the cellular level. These processes focus on the extraction of energy from nutrients. It is also responsible for converting the biochemical energy into 'adenosine triphosphate' (ATP) by the breakdown of sugars in the cells (Bennet 58). Cellular respiration is also responsible for the process by which cells release chemical energy required for conducting cellular activities. The reactions and processes facilitate the release of waste products from the cells. This experiment seeks to conduct a study of the processes and reactions involved during cellular respiration. The experiment will include several activities, such as having a study on the amount of Carbon dioxide produced during the experiment.
The number of levels of the growth of a yeast medium as a dependent variable will also be monitored during the experiment. There are other several independent variables associated with the experiment. These independent variables include sugar and temperature, among others, and their role in the experiment were also monitored. The experiment design involved the use of airtight balloons capped over reaction chambers that were used to collect the Carbon dioxide produced during the experiment. The reaction chambers contained sugars and yeast medium, which facilitated the reactions. Thermometers and pH scale were used to monitor the changes in temperature and acidity levels during the experiment. The paper involves a lab design that institute steps such as arranging the bottles used on the experiment. Notably, a proper arrangement to make sure that all the carbon dioxide released during the respiration process is well tapped in the bottles for correct lab results
Methodology
The actual procedure for experimenting involved taking measurements and recording of all observations made during the experiment. For accurate results, measures were taken three times, and a mean measurement was calculated and recorded. Winzler asserts that the mean obtained from the measurements should be used to calculate the standard deviation, which in turn facilitated the calculation of uncertainty (276). Below are the steps for conducting the experiment. It is essential to read the instructions carefully safety and accuracy during the experiment. Notably, all the lab and experiment results were well observed and thus making sure that there are limited errors in the whole process.
Consequently, all the steps required in the lab report were also clearly followed to help in getting the correct data and even not to affect the whole experiment process. The experiment involved setting the apparatus as per the set standard and the requirement. As per this concept, all the apparatus were set in a proper way to avoid vague results. Notably, to get the correct measurement and results, it is import.

Catalytic Activity of Enzymes
Introduction
Enzyles are biological molecules that catalyze (speed up) chemrcal reactions. You could call enz;anes
the "Builders and Do-ers" m the celi: without them, iife could not occur. Every ceI1 makes hundreds of
different enzyxes to carry out the reactions necessary for 1ife. Fortunately for the ce1l, enzlmes are not
used up when they calaltlze a reaction. but can be used over and over.
The DNA in each ce11 encodes all the information needed to make its many different enz)rmes. Enzlnnes
are relatively large molecules of protein. They are produced u,henever tire cel1"senses" a need for that
parlicular enzyne; that is, whenever a job needs to be done in the ce ll which only that enzyne can do it.
The molecule (or molecules) on u,hich an enzyne acts is called its substrate. Enzla:nes are said to be very
"specific," meaning that they recognize only one substrate (or a fei,r, closeiy related substrates) and convert
it into a specific product. You could say that each enzl.me can do only one tlpe ofjob. Each en4,rne is
specrfic because it is folded urto a particular three-dimensional shape. Wrtirur the folds of each enzyle is
the active site, the place u,here the substrate fits and where the chemical reaction takes place.
Enzynes work very quickly, often catalyzing thousands of reactions per minute. The rate at which an
erv\rme works is influenced by many factors including temperature and pH. Enzl.mes have a temperature
and pH at which they work best, and if an enzyne is exposed to extremes of heat or pH it won't rvork at
a1ll The interactions that hold the protein in its particular shape become disrupted under these extreme
conditions, and the 3-dirnensional structure unfblds. In this case, the enzyxe is said to be denatured.
Other important factors that influence enz),rne activity are the concentration of substrate and the
concentration of enzyle. Up to a point, the more substrate that is present, the fuster the reaction.
Hou,ever, u,hen the substrate concentration is so high that an enzyne is workilg as fast as it can, fui1her
increases of substrate concentration will have no effect on the rate of product formation.
Background
The enzyne that you will study in this experiment is called "catalase." Its job is to break down its
substrate hydrogen peroxide (HZOZ,), wirich is a naturaily occuning poison. Vy'ithout catalase, HZOZ
could krll the cell. The reaction calalyzed by catalase is:
2HyO2+2H2O+Oy
The products remaining alter catalase does its job are oxygen gas and water; two very non-poisonous
molecules.

How Can the Thermodynamics of
Dissolution be Defined?
Introduction:
The Gibbs-Helmholtz equation expresses the relationship between the free-energy
change, the enthalpy change, and the entropy change at constant temperature and
pressure:
∆G = ∆H - T∆S Equation 1
From knowing the value of ∆G, you may predict whether a process/reaction will be
spontaneous at a certain temperature. A process is spontaneous if ∆G is negative (∆G <
0), nonspontaneous if ∆G is positive (∆G > 0), and at equilibrium if ∆G = 0.
The enthalpy change, ∆Hrxn, is the heat gained or lost by a system during a reaction
carried out at constant pressure. Most reactions occur in several steps, with energy
required (endothermic, positive ∆H) because energy is needed to break bonds, and
energy released (exothermic, negative ∆H) because energy is released as new bonds
are formed. ∆Hrxn represents the total change in heat energy or enthalpy over the course
of the reaction. In this experiment, you will use a coffee-cup calorimeter to determine the
heat absorbed or released during the dissolution of ammonium chloride and the
dissolution of calcium chloride. From observing the contents of the coffee-cup calorimeter,
you will decide whether the dissolution processes are spontaneous or nonspontaneous.
You will also calculate values of ∆Grxn to check your prediction.
From the law of conservation of energy (energy is conserved) the total energy for the
dissolution process is:
qsystem + qsurroundings = 0 or qsystem = - qsurroudnings Equation 2
where qsystem (or qrxn) represents the heat gained or lost by dissolving the solid (the
system), and qsurroundings (or qsolution) is the heat gained or lost by the solution in the
calorimeter (the surroundings). Thus, heat energy is essentially transferred between the
dissolving solid and the solution in the calorimeter. (For this experiment, the heat
absorbed by the cup, probe, and surroundings can be considered as negligible, so it is
not included in the expression above.)
The heat absorbed or released by the contents of the calorimeter is given by:
q = (mass solution)*(specific heat of solution)*(change in temperature)
q = m· Cs · T, where T=Tfinal-Tinitial Equation 3
The mass of the solution is the sum of the masses of the water and solid placed in the
calorimeter. (Recall that the density of water is1.00 g/mL.) Because the solution is very
Arizona State University 2 School of Molecular Sciences
dilute, the specific heat of the solution is basically equal to that of water, which is 4.184
J/gºC. To calculate change (∆) for a variable it is always final minus initial. The value of
qsurr can be calculated.
