Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

how does cell respiration vary in fungus cells, plant cells, or animal cells?



what are the effects of temperature on yeast fermentation, at which point does it pasteurize (on average)


Does anaerobic respiration require different temperatures than aerobic respiration?

Hello,
I think you could get a lot of information regarding your questions if you just type them into the google search bar.

In regards to cellular respiration, these are all complex processes so I think if you look for a diagram of the process in each species that will help you to compare them to one another. In regards to pasteurization, I think you should be able to find that answer online. I'm not sure myself.

If you think about respiration in plants and animals, there are species of plants and animals that live in the same climates all over the world...although if you look at algae and other micro organisms you will find them in places that both plants and animals can not survive, both cold and hot. What you want to consider however, is the internal temperature of the cells where respiration is actually occuring. An animal cell is going to maintain it's internal temperature better than a plant cell. Why is that important? This may be the key to understanding your question.

Hope this helps get you started!
