Cellular Respiration<br />

(Adapted from: State Adopted – Prentice Hall <strong>Lab</strong>oratory Manual B)<br />

NGSSS:<br />

SC.912.L.18.9 Explain the interrelated nature of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. (AA)<br />

SC.912.L.14.7 Relate the structure of the major plant organs and tissues to physiological<br />

processes. (AA)<br />

Background:<br />

All living things undergo respiration. During this process, food molecules are broken down. As<br />

part of this process, animals take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide by breathing, which is<br />

easily observable. Plants do not ―breathe‖ as animals do, so respiration in plants is not as<br />

easily observable. How do we know that plants respire<br />

In this investigation, you will observe the release of carbon dioxide by humans. You also will<br />

perform an experiment to determine whether plants release carbon dioxide as a product of<br />

cellular respiration.<br />

Problem Statement: How do organisms release energy from food<br />

Safety: Wear goggles at all times in the science laboratory. To avoid burns, exercise caution<br />

when working with the hot plate and heated materials. Be careful not to inhale any of the<br />

cabbage indicator.<br />

Vocabulary: aerobic respiration, alcoholic fermentation, anaerobic respiration, cellular<br />

respiration, electron transport chain, glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, lactic acid fermentation<br />

Materials (per group):<br />

Distilled water<br />

Straw<br />

Heat-resistant gloves<br />

Hot Plate<br />

Cotton ball<br />

Beakers 500-mL (two)<br />

Test tubes (4)<br />

Purple cabbage leaves or<br />

Bromothymol blue<br />

Test tube rack<br />

Slotted spoon (large)<br />

Stoppers<br />

Radish seedlings (10)<br />

Forceps<br />

Aluminum foil<br />

Pre-<strong>Lab</strong> Questions:<br />

Read the entire investigation. Then, work with a partner to answer the following questions.<br />

1. What hypothesis is Part A of this experiment testing<br />

2. What is an acid indicator<br />

3. When the cabbage is mixed with the boiling water, what color do you expect the water to<br />

turn<br />

4. In Part B, why is nothing added to one of the test tubes containing cabbage indicator<br />

5. What special safety note should you observe when you blow through the straw.<br />
