In this AP Biology Lab 5 walkthrough, Mr. Andersen focuses on cellular respiration in eukaryotic cells, elucidating its three main steps: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain, which collectively produce ATP. The lab's objective is to measure the rate of cellular respiration by monitoring oxygen consumption using a respirometer, with subjects including germinating peas, non-germinating peas, and worms. Potassium hydroxide is used to solidify carbon dioxide, while beads control for temperature and maintain constant volume. The experiment involves submerging the respirometer in water to create an air bubble, whose movement indicates oxygen consumption. Data indicates that germinating peas exhibit the highest respiration rate, followed by worms and non-germinating peas, highlighting different oxygen consumption rates.

In this segment of the video, Mr. Andersen introduces the AP Biology Lab 5 walkthrough, focusing on cellular respiration in eukaryotic cells through the use of mitochondria. He briefly explains the process of cellular respiration, highlighting its three main steps: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain, which all ultimately produce ATP. The lab aims to measure the rate of cellular respiration by monitoring oxygen consumption. To achieve this, the experiment uses a respirometer with worms and peas as subjects, alongside potassium hydroxide to convert carbon dioxide into a solid. Additional elements like beads are employed to control for temperature changes and maintain constant volume. The setup includes three jars recommended by AP: one with germinating peas, one with dry peas, and one with glass beads as a control.

In this part of the video, the presenter explains an experiment designed to measure the respiration rates of germinating peas, non-germinating peas, and worms, accounting for temperature fluctuations by using beads for control. The procedure involves submerging a respirometer in water to equilibrate, forming an air bubble that moves as oxygen is consumed and water enters. This bubble movement is used to measure the respiration rate, which is then plotted over time. Data shows that germinating peas have the highest respiration rate, followed by worms and non-germinating peas, illustrating the varying rates of oxygen consumption among these subjects.
