Abstract
Cells need energy to do work to carry out metabolic processes that keep them alive and functioning. This energy is stored in the form of ATP, which stands for adenosine triphosphate. All plant and animal cells use a process known as cellular respiration to make ATP from carbohydrates. Plant cells also have a process known as photosynthesis that they use to fixate carbon into carbohydrates using energy from the sun. However, even in plant cells, the most important energy contribution is made by cellular respiration, since ATP formed during photosynthesis is used primarily to fixate the carbon atoms for later use in glycolysis (a step of cellular respiration). Cellular respiration can either be carried out aerobically (in the presence of oxygen) or anaerobically (in the absence of oxygen) (Miyazaki, 85). This lab is concerned with testing the anaerobic pathway, namely alcohol fermentation.
