Answer:

The respiration of a suspension of yeast cells was measured by determining the decrease in pressure of the gas above the cell suspension. The apparatus was arranged so that the gas was confined to a constant volume, 16 cm3 and the entire pressure change was caused by the uptake of oxygen by the cells. The pressure was measured in a monometer, the fluid of which had a density of 1.034 g/cm3. The entire apparatus was immersed in a thermostat at 37. In a 30 minute observation period the fluid in the open side of the manometer dropped 37mm. Neglecting the solubility of oxygen in the yeast suspension, compute the rate oxygen consumption by the cells in mm3 of O2 (STP) per hour

What goes into the cell for cr to occur

BARSIC [14]

<span>In the presence of oxygen, one glucose molecule has the energy to make up to 38 ATP. The ATP production is determined by the following steps, (-2 ATP) glycolysis preparatory phase, (7-9 ATP) glycolysis pay-off phase, (5 ATP) oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate and (20 ATP) Krebs cycle. One glucose which has 38 ATP hence was the summation of all the process mentioned that took place. All these process take place under the cellular function of cellular respiration.<span>

Electron microscopes use

Pavel [41]

Electron microscopes use _beam of electrons___ in order to allow for higher magnification and more detail when viewing specimens.

Explanation:

A beam of electrons has a shorter wavelength than normal light used in light microscopes, by approximately a factor of X 100000. Therefore, electrons microscope have the inherent attribute of having a very high resolution. They have been used to discover very small organelles in cells such as the ribosomes and mitochondria that cannot be clearly viewed even with the highest resolution in light microscopes.
