Lab report title Group members (complete first and last names) Date of submission Section

Follow this format for abstracts.

Paragraph 1. Introduction to the topic - What is Cellular Respiration? Brewer’s Yeast? Glucose? Paragraph 2. Introduction to the topic - What influences rates of Cellular Respiration? Paragraph 3. What is your research question and hypothesis?

Narrative format Include materials as you explain what you did. Explain how you set up your experiment and how you measured your data.

Make sure the order of the methods and results mirror each other.

What was the balloon circumference change over time?

Figures and Tables 1. Table - Include everyone’s raw data

2. Figure - picture of results (one is fine) 3. Line Graph - Show how balloon circumference

changed over time for both treatments on one graph.

Remember: Table titles go on top and should be numbered.

Example

Figure captions go below the image/graph/figure and are number sequentially.

Do your results match your hypothesis? Why or Why not? You can also discuss any problems you encountered. Restating your results is not enough here, you must interpret your results. What do the data mean and what biological concepts to they demonstrate? What was the best cellular respiration fuel? How does this mirror what happens in our cells? Why are brewer’s yeast a good model? Why is cellular respiration rate important? What happens if cellular respiration stops? How do your results fit into biology? 2-3 paragraphs with in-text citations
