Respiration Lab Analysis

Respiration Lab Analysis

SWBAT analyze experimental data to determine that glucose is a reactant of cellular respiration and a gas (carbon dioxide) is a product.

Are we using qualitative or quantitative observations to determine if respiration is occurring? Explain.

Deep Dive 1

• In your experiment, what is the organism that is completing cell respiration? What was the waste product of this reaction? 

  
  

• In your experiment, what did this organism break down as a source of energy?

• What was the waste product of this reaction?

How are we determining cell respiration is occurring?

 In this experiment we are measuring the production of carbon dioxide. 

• What are the reactants of cell respiration?

• What are the products of cell respiration? 

• What reactant corresponds to the “food” that we take in or that autotrophs make? 

• And what product corresponds to that really important energy storage molecule (that is the whole point of cell respiration…)?

So why is it so important that we breathe in oxygen? 

And why do we exhale carbon dioxide?
