What factors impact the rate of respiration in a variety of organisms?
Factors
Respiration
What is the process of respiration and which organisms respire?
Are there organisms that have a higher rate of respiration compared to other organisms?
What are some general factors that impact the rate of respiration in all organisms?
How can the rate of respiration be measured?
How does respiration differ across different organisms?
Converts glucose into ATP energy
ATP energy is a crucial form of energy for life
ATP drives many functions including activation of enzymes, biosynthesis of macromolecules, and transport of substances across cell membranes
Aerobic respiration
Anaerobic respiration
Glycolysis
Krebs cycle
Electron transport chain
Alcoholic fermentation
Lactic acid fermentation
Increased movement calls for an increase in cellular respiration
Compared to plants, animals have a higher level of movement, and therefore have a higher rate of respiration
Aquatic animals respire at a higher rate compared to terrestrial animals because concentrations of dissolved oxygen are far lower in water compared oxygen in the air
Temperature
pH
Concentration of enzymes
Concentration of substrate
Availability of oxygen
Change in pH
Change in concentration of oxygen
Change in concentration of carbon dioxide
Presence of an inhibitor
Salt
