Investigation Into the effect of Temperature on Respiration Scientific Knowledge 'Respiration is the process in which organic molecules act as fuel' (from Central concepts by Mary Jones and Jennifer Gregory). Respiration is needed to produce ATP. ATP is an immediate and universal state of energy for cells. It is made available for use in the living cell by respiration. Respiration takes place in the mitochondria in the cell. A series of oxidation and reduction reactions take place, in which respiratory substrates (glucose is the major respiratory substrate) are oxidised to carbon dioxide, and oxygen reduced to water. You can measure the rate of respiration by collecting carbon dioxide. Here is an explanation of respiration to show why this method can be used. Glucose is a relatively large molecule containing six carbon atoms, all in reduced state. During respiration glucose undergoes a series of enzymes catalysed oxidation reactions. These reactions occur in three...
