Cellular Respiration in Germinating Peas
Lab Report
2/26/202
Introduction
In this experiment, approximetly 50 pea seeds were allowed to soak overnight. The following day, the seeds were placed on a papertowel soaked with non-chlorinated water and placed in a sealable bag. On day three, three resperators where constructed in order to observe, measure and compare the rate of cellular respiration in both germinating and dormant pea seeds(pg 2). After collecting volume data from the respirators, the volumes of the three respirators were compared. This experiment was carried out following the step by step guidelines in Cellular Repsiration in Germinating Peas, a packet provided by Carolina Distance learning.
Methods
The method used to gather data on the rate of cellular respiration in both germinating and dormant pea seeds was a respirator. Three seperate respirators were constructed. The respirators consisted of a nickel at the bottom of a glass vial, then an absorbant cotton ball soaked with 2.0mL of Potassium hydroxide (KOH). On top of the cotton ball, a small piece of non-absorbent cotton was placed to act as a barrier for the pea seeds so they were not affected by the KOH. Finally, a glass pipet was wrapped with parafilm and inserted into a rubber stopper to create an air tight seal. In glass vial 1, 25 germinated seeds were added, in glass vial 2 25 dry pea seeds where added with beads to equal the volume of the 25 germinated seeds. Finally,
in the last vial beads equaling the volume of the other two were added. The volume across the three glass vials where the same. The glass vials were placed into a water bath, and a timer at 0 (after equiliberium was reached) 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes and 20 minutes was set.
The volume (measured by food coloring placed at the tip of the pipet) was recorded at each timer interval in a table labeled Data table 2 below. All volumes are recorded in the table labeled
Data Table 1 below. At each timer interval, the temperature of the water was also recorded.
Results
Cellular respiration rates were successfully demonstrated and recorded. In the first respirator with the germinating pea seeds, we saw a steady decrease in volume from an initial reading of .37mL at time 0 to a reading of .24 mL at the 20 minute mark. We saw minimal celluar respiration rates in the respirator containing the dry pea seeds and beads. The initial reading at time 0 was .42 mL and at time 20 the volume was .40 mL. Directions were given to calculate a corrected change in volume. The volume in the pipet could be affected by air pressure in the room, so the third respirator’s change in volume could be used to account for any change in air pressure (page 12). Over the course of 20 minutes, no change in volume in the pipet of respirator three was observed, so no calculations were needed to correct the volume change observed in respirator 1 and 2.

Intestinal epithelial cells pump glucose into the cell against its concentration gradient using the Nat-glucose symporter. Recall
that the Na+ concentration is significantly higher outside the cell than inside the cell. The symporter couples the "downhill"
transport of two Na+ ions into the cell to the "uphill" transport of glucose into the cell.

When a clam sperm contacts a clam egg, it triggers ionic changes that result in the breakdown of the egg nuclear envelope, condensation of chromosomes and initiation of meiosis. Two observations confirm that ionic changes initiate these cellular events:
suspending clam eggs in seawater containing 60 mM KCl triggers the same intracellular changes as do sperm
suspending eggs in artificial seawater lacking calcium prevents activation by 60mM KCl. The intracellular K+ concentration is 344mM and that of normal seawater is 9 mM.
Why does 60mM KCl affect the changes mimicking the sperm cell? please explain.
What does the lack of activation by 60mM KCl in calcium-free seawater suggest about the mechanism of KCl activation? please explain the mechanism.

Autophagy Is Required for PKA Activation and Cell Viability upon GlucoseStarvation. The functional relationship between PKA and autophagyis largely unclear. Because PKA controls cell metabolism particularly related to glucose status (21–23), we first examined the relationship between autophagy and PKA activity in the control of cellmetabolism with glucose limitation. We found that in addition toactivating autophagy, glucose starvation also induced the phosphorylation of cAMP response element-binding (p-CREB), a wellknown PKA substrate, indicative of elevated PKA activity in bothHEK293T and HCT116 cells. In contrast, disruption of autophagyby deletion of essential autophagy gene Atg7 or Atg14 abolished theincrease of p-CREB levels in the above cells (SI Appendix, Fig.S1 A, B, D, and E), suggesting that inactivation of autophagy suppresses PKA activity in response to energy shortage. Moreover, lossof Atg7 or Atg14 accelerated cell death in response to glucosestarvation (SI Appendix, Fig.…
