1 APBiology Unit 2, Chapter 8 Research Question What factors affect the rate of cellular respiration in multicellular organisms? Background Living systems require free energy and matter to maintain order, to grow, and to reproduce. Energy deficiencies are not only detrimental to individual organisms, but they cause disruptions at the population and ecosystem levels as well. Organisms employ various strategies that have been conserved through evolution to capture, use, and store free energy. Autotrophic organisms capture free energy from the environment through photosynthesis and chemosynthesis, whereas heterotrophic organisms harvest free energy from carbon compounds produced by other organisms. The process of cellular respiration harvests the energy in carbon compounds to produce ATP that powers most of the vital cellular processes. In eukaryotes, respiration occurs in the mitochondria within cells. If sufficient oxygen is available, glucose may be oxidized completely in a series of enzymemediated steps, as summarized by the following reaction: More specifically, C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 (g) 6CO 2 (g) + 6H 2 O + energy C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O kilocalories of energy per mole of glucose oxidized The chemical oxidation of glucose has important implications to the measurement of respiration. From the equation, if glucose is the energy source, then for every molecule of oxygen consumed, one molecule of carbon dioxide is produced. Suppose you wanted to measure the overall rate of cellular respiration. What specific things could you measure? Which of these might be easier or harder to measure? In these procedures, you will learn how to calculate the rate of cellular respiration by using a respirometer system, gas pressure sensors, or O2 and CO2 gas sensors with computer
2 interface. These measure relative volume (changes in pressure or type of gas) as oxygen is consumed by germinating plant seeds. As oxygen gas is consumed during respiration, it is normally replaced by CO2 gas at a ratio of one molecule of CO2 for each molecule of O2 (remember the formula for respiration!). Thus, you would expect no change in gas volume to result from this experiment. However, in the following gas pressure procedures the CO2 produced is removed by potassium hydroxide (KOH). KOH reacts with CO2 to form the solid potassium carbonate (K2CO3) through the following reaction: CO2 + 2KOH K2CO3 + H2O Thus, as O2 is consumed, the overall gas volume in the respirometer decreases. The change in volume can be used to determine the rate of cellular respiration. Because respirometers are sensitive to changes in gas volume, they are also sensitive to changes in temperature and air pressure; thus, you need to use a control respirometer. What would be a good control for this procedure? Talk with another student for a minute, and come up with at least one possible control you could use. As you work through Procedures, think about this question: What factors can affect the rate of cellular respiration? In Designing and Conducting Your Investigation, you will design and conduct an experiment(s) to investigate at least one of your responses to this question or some other question you have. Your exploration will likely generate even more questions about cellular respiration. The investigation also provides an opportunity for you to apply and review concepts that you have studied previously, including the relationship between cell structure and function (mitochondria); enzymatic activity; strategies for capture, storage, and use of free energy; diffusion of gases across cell membranes; and the physical laws pertaining to the properties and behaviors of gases. Learning Objectives To learn how a respirometer system can be used to measure respiration rates in plant seeds or small invertebrates, such as insects or earthworms To design and conduct an experiment to explore the effect of certain factors, including environmental variables, on the rate of cellular respiration To connect and apply concepts, including the relationship between cell structure and function (mitochondria); strategies for capture, storage, and use of free energy; diffusion of gases across cell membranes; and the physical laws pertaining to the properties and behaviors of gases Getting Started Answer the following questions before you begin; 1. Why is it necessary to correct the readings of the respirometers containing seeds with the readings taken from respirometers containing only glass beads? Your answer should refer to the concepts derived from the general gas law: PV = nrt
3 Where P = pressure of the gas V = volume of the gas n = number of moles of the gas R = the gas constant (its value is fixed) T = temperature of the gas 2. What happens to the volume of the gas being measured (O2 consumption or CO2 production) when the temperature or pressure changes during the experiment? If pressure and temperature remain constant, will the volume of gas in the respirometers increase or decrease? Explain. Hint: Several tutorials and animations explaining the general gas law are available online (e.g., 3. Imagine that you are given 25 germinating pea seeds that have been placed in boiling water for five minutes. You place these seeds in a respirometer and collect data. Predict the rate of oxygen consumption (i.e., cellular respiration) for these seeds and explain your reasons. 4. Imagine that you are asked to measure the rate of respiration for a 25 g reptile and a 25 g mammal at 10 C. Predict how the results would compare, and justify your prediction. Produce a graph to illustrate your prediction. 5. Imagine that you are asked to repeat the reptile/mammal comparison of oxygen consumption, but at a temperature of 22 C. Predict how these results would differ from the measurements made at 10 C, and explain your prediction in terms of the metabolism of the animals. Produce a graph to illustrate your prediction. 6. What difficulties would there be if you used a living green plant in this investigation instead of germinating seeds? Procedure 1 - Water Respirometers 1. Both a room-temperature bath (approximately 25 C) and a 10 C bath should be set up immediately to allow for time to adjust the temperature of each. Add ice to attain 10 C. 2. Respirometer 1: Obtain a 100 ml graduated cylinder and fill it with 50 ml of H2O Drop in 25 germinating peas and determine the amount of water that was displaced (which is equivalent to the volume of peas). Record the volume of 25 germinating peas. Remove these peas and place them on a paper towel. They will be used in respirometer 1. Pea Volume ml 3. Respirometer 2: Refill the graduated cylinder with 50 ml of H2O. Drop 25 dried peas (not germinating) into the graduated cylinder and then add enough glass beads to attain a volume equivalent to that of the expanded germinating peas. Remove these peas and beads and place them on a paper towel. They will be used in respirometer Respirometer 3: Refill the graduated cylinder with 50 ml of H2O. Determine how many glass beads would be required to attain a volume equivalent to that of the germinating peas. Remove these beads and place them on a paper towel. They will be used in respirometer 3.
4 5. Repeat the procedures above to prepare a second set of germinating peas, dry peas plus beads, and beads for use in respirometers 4, 5, and 6, respectively. 6. To assemble the six respirometers, obtain six vials, each with an attached stopper and pipette. Place a small wad of absorbent cotton in the bottom of each vial and, using a dropper, soak the cotton with 15% KOH. (Completely damp but not dripping wet) Make sure that the respirometer vials are dry on the inside. Do not get KOH on the sides of the respirometer. Place a small wad of dry cotton on top of the KOH-soaked absorbent cotton (Figure 1). It is important that the amounts of cotton and KOH be the same for each respirometer. Figure 1: Assembled Respirometers 7. Place the first set of germinating peas, dry peas + beads, and beads in vials 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Place the second set of germinating peas, dry peas plus beads, and beads in vials 4, 5, and 6, respectively. Insert the stopper fitted with the calibrated pipette. 8. Keep the tips of the pipettes out of the water during the seven minute equilibration period. You may make a sling of masking tape attached to each side of each of the water if necessary. Vials 1, 2, and 3 should rest in the room- Figure 2: Respirometers in the Water Bath
5 temperature water bath (approximately 25 C) and vials 4, 5, and 6 should rest in the 10 C water bath (Figure 2). 9. After the equilibration period of seven minutes, place a small drop of food coloring in the tip of each pipette, then immerse all six respirometers entirely in their water baths. Water will enter the pipettes for a short distance and then stop. The food coloring is to assist in tracking the movement of the water into the pipette. If the water continues to move into a pipette, check for leaks in the respirometer. Work swiftly and arrange the pipettes so that they can be read through the water at the beginning of the experiment. They should not be shifted during the experiment. Hands should be kept out of the water bath after the experiment has started. Make sure that a constant temperature is maintained. 10.Allow the respirometers to equilibrate for three more minutes and then record, to the nearest 0.01 ml, the initial position of water in each pipette (time 0). Check the temperature in both baths and record in Table 1. Every 5 minutes for 20 minutes, take readings of the water s position in each pipette, and record the data in Table 6.1. If the water does not descend into the pipette to the calibration markings you will have to measure the distance manually. Table 1: Measurement of 02 Consumption Using Volumetric Methods Temp ( C) Time (min) Initial (0) Initial (0) Reading at end of interval Beads alone Germinating Peas Dry Peas and Beads Change from initial* (correction factor) Reading at end of interval Change from initial* * Change = (initial reading at time 0) (reading at end of interval) Corrected change = (change correction factor) Corrected change Reading at end of interval Change from initial* 5. From the slope of the four lines on the graph, determine the rate of O2 consumption of germinating and dry peas during the experiments at room temperature and at 10 C. Recall that rate = y x Corrected change

Connect the plastic tubing to the valve on the Gas Pressure Sensor. 2. Connect the Gas Pressure Sensor to the computer interface. Prepare the computer for data collection by opening the file 11C Cell Resp (Pressure) from the Biology with Computers folder of Logger Pro. To test whether germinating peas undergo cell respiration, you will need to set up two water baths. prepare a respirometer for the germinating peas. prepare a second, control respirometer containing glass beads. 3. Set up two water baths, one at about 25 C and one at about 10 C. Obtain two large beakers and ¾ fill each with water. Add ice to attain the 10 C water bath. 4. To be sure the volumes of air in all respirometers are equal; you will need to measure the volume of the fifteen peas that will be in the experimental respirometer. The control respirometer must have an equal volume of glass beads (or other non-oxygen consuming material) to make the air volume equal to the respirometer with germinating peas. Similarly, glass beads will be used to account for any volume difference between the germinating and non-germinating peas. Figure 3: Respirometer in the Water Bath
7 5. Obtain three glass tubes and label them T1, T2, and T Place a 2 cm wad of absorbent cotton in the bottom of each test tube. Using a dropper pipette, carefully add a sufficient amount of KOH to the cotton to soak it. (Note: Do not allow any of the KOH to touch the sides of the test tube. The sides should be completely dry, or the KOH may damage the peas.) CAUTION: Potassium hydroxide solution is caustic. Avoid spilling it. See figure Prepare the test tube containing germinating peas (T1): a. Add 50 ml of water to a 100 ml graduated cylinder. b. Place 15 germinating peas into the water. c. Measure the volume of the peas by water displacement. Record that volume in Table 1. d. Gently remove the peas from the graduated cylinder and blot them dry with a paper towel. e. Add a small wad of non-absorbent dry cotton to the bottom of the glass tube to prevent the peas from touching the KOH saturated cotton. f. Add these germinating peas to the respirometer labeled T1. 8. Prepare the glass tube containing non-germinating peas (T2): a. Refill the graduated cylinder with 50 ml of water. b. Place 15 non-germinating peas into the water. c. Measure the volume of the peas by water displacement. Record the volume in Table 1. d. Add a sufficient number of glass beads to the non-germinating peas and water until they displace exactly the same volume of water as the germinating peas. e. Gently remove the peas and glass beads from the graduated cylinder and dry them with a paper towel. f.

Part I Germinating peas, room temperature 10. Insert a single-holed rubber-stopper into glass tube T1 and T3. Note: Firmly twist the stopper for an airtight fit. Secure each test tube with a utility clamp and ring-stand. 11. Arrange glass tubes T1 and T3 in the warm water bath using the apparatus shown in Figure 3. Incubate the test tube for 10 minutes in the water bath. Be sure to keep the temperature of the water bath constant. If you need to add more hot or cold water, first remove about as much water as you will be adding, or the beaker may overflow. Record the resulting temperature of the water bath once incubation has finished in Table 2. Peas Cotton non-absorbent Cotton with KOH Figure 4 Respiration API Lab 6 APUnit docx Page 7 of 11
8 Note: Be sure the tubes are submerged to an equal depth, just up to the rubber stoppers. The temperature of the air in the tube must be constant for this experiment to work well. 12. When incubation has finished, connect the free-end of the plastic tubing to the connector in the rubber stopper as shown in Figure Click to begin data collection. Maintain the temperature of the water bath during the course of the experiment. 14. Data collection will end after 20 minutes. Monitor the pressure readings displayed in the live readouts on the toolbar. If the pressure exceeds 130 kpa, the pressure inside the tube will be too great and the rubber stopper is likely to pop off. Disconnect the plastic tubing from the Gas Pressure Sensor if the pressure exceeds 130 kpa. 15. The rate of respiration can be measured by examining the slope of the pressure change vs. time plot at the right of the screen. Calculate a linear regression for the pressure change vs. time graph: a. Click on the Pressure Change vs. Time graph to select it. b. Click the Linear Fit button,, to perform a linear regression. A floating box will appear with the formula for a best fit line. c. Record the slope of the line, m, in Table 3 as the rate of oxygen consumption by germinating peas. d. Close the linear regression floating box. 16. Move your data to a stored data run. To do this, choose Store Latest Run from the Experiment menu. Part II Non-germinating peas, room temperature 17.
