Question 1: What is cellular respiration?

  • Cellular respiration is defined as a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients to triphosphate, then eventually to waste.

Question 2: How is cellular respiration related to what you measured in the cricket lab?

  • In the cricket lab, we measured the respiration and metabolic rates of house crickets, and applied the methods of respiration in different temperatures to see how the crickets would react.
