Lab Report 4: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
2. In terms of most to least amount f fermentation in 20 minutes, you found that glucose was fastest,
followed by fructose, then sucrose and then starch. How does the size and complexity of these
molecules affect how quickly they can be used in cellular respiration?
Activity 4d - Cellular Respiration: Measuring Energy Production in Plants
1. Briefly describe the experimental setup in your own words. What were you measuring and what were
your experimental groups?
2. In this experiment, what do you think would happen to the drop of red fluid in each respirometer if
you forgot to add KOH pellets to your setups containing the soybeans? (Hint: think about the function
of the KOH pellets, and remember that your respirometers are airtight. Also, for every molecule of 0₂
consumed, one CO₂ molecule is produced).
3. Why do you think cellular respiration was greater in the germinating seeds compared to the
nongerminating seeds?

Introduction 

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and other nutrients into energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). It is a series of metabolic reactions that take place in the mitochondria of cells and involves the breakdown of glucose and other molecules in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP, which is used to power the cellular processes.
