Cell Respiration
What is the rate of cellular respiration or oxygen consumption in germinating versus nongerminated seeds in a controlled experiment? What is the effect of temperature on the rate of cell respiration in germinating and nongerminating seeds? ... This was possible because the CO2 produced during cellular respiration was removed by potassium hydroxide (KOH). ... During respiration oxygen was consumed, and its volume was reduced because the CO2 produced was being converted to a solid, and water was being moved toward a region of lower pressure. ... Cellular respiration involves the consumption of O2 and production of CO2. This is possible because respiration is a cumulative function of glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain. ... Cellular respiration generates many ATP molecules for each sugar molecule it oxidizes. The complete oxidation of glucose to carbon dioxide during respiration in eukaryotes produces a maximum net yield of 36 molecules of ATP.
