Biology PAG 6: Physiology, responses, respiration
Suggested Activity 2: Physiology, responses, respiration
Instructions and answers for teachers & techniciansThis practical activity is composed of two parts; a teacher/technician section and the learner activity which can be found on page 10. This Practical activity supports OCR GCSE Biology.
When distributing the activity section to the learners, either as a printed copy or as a Word file, you will need to remove the teacher instructions section.
This is a suggested practical activity that can be used as part of teaching the GCSE (9-1) Gateway Science (A) and Twenty First Century Science (B) specifications.
These are not controlled assessment tasks, and there is no requirement to use these particular activities.
You may modify these activities to suit your learners and centre. Alternative activities are available from, for example, Royal Society of Biology, Royal Society of Chemistry, Institute of
Physics, CLEAPSS and publishing companies, or of your own devising.
Further details are available in the specifications (Practical Skills Topics), and in these videos.
OCR recommendations:
Before carrying out any experiment or demonstration based on this guidance, it is the responsibility of teachers to ensure that they have undertaken a risk assessment in accordance with their employer’s requirements, making use of up-to-date information and taking account of their own particular circumstances. Any local rules or restrictions issued by the employer must always be followed.
CLEAPSS resources are useful for carrying out risk-assessments: (http://science.cleapss.org.uk).
Centres should trial experiments in advance of giving them to learners. Centres may choose to make adaptations to this practical activity, but should be aware that this may affect the Apparatus and Techniques covered by the learner.

IntroductionThe topic of physiology covers a vast range of processes. This Practical activity focuses on the
anaerobic respiration of microorganisms.
Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration that does not use oxygen. Anaerobic respiration in
plant cells and some microorganisms (such as yeast), produces ethanol and carbon dioxide, as
opposed to lactic acid.
glucose → ethanol + carbon dioxide (+ energy)
The experiment illustrates the production of carbon dioxide and the requirement for glucose in
anaerobic respiration. Additionally, pupils gain an understanding of the necessity for a control test.
This practical activity can be done as a teacher demonstration, as a simple class experiment to see
observe the production of carbon dioxide or a more complex investigation to see the impact of other
variables such as temperature impact on respiration.
DfE Apparatus and Techniques coveredThe codes used below match the OCR Practical Activity Learner Record Sheet (Biology / Combined Science) and Trackers (Biology / Combined Science) available online. There is no requirement to use these resources.

Starter Quiz - Answers True or false starter activity
1. The word equation for respiration is Carbon dioxide + Oxygen Glucose + Water FALSE
2. Anaerobic respiration is when there is oxygen present FALSE
3. The word equation for respiration is Oxygen + Glucose Carbon Dioxide + Water TRUE
4. Respiration is only carried out by humans FALSE
5. Respiration is the same as breathing FALSE
6. Respiration results in energy being released TRUE
Activity Sheet – answers Before the experiment
1. Make a prediction - what do you expect to observe during and after the reaction?
Student’s own answer.
During the experiment
2. Explain the purpose of the control test
To compare what would happen without the presence glucose. It increases the reliability of the results.
After the experiment
3. Record your observationsa. What changes did you see in the glucose sample and control test?
Glucose sample: Student’s own answer – should see balloon inflate, bubbles produced in solutionControl test: Student’s own answer – should not see a change.
b. Was your prediction correct?
Student’s own answer.
c. Explain your findings – why do you think this happened?
In the glucose sample, the balloon inflates and bubbles are produced because of the production of carbon dioxide.
Version 1.1 – January 2018 8 © OCR 2018
In the control sample, there should be no changes as glucose is not present
d. What modifications would you make to this test to improve its accuracy?
Repeat the testMore than one control test Use a gas syringe to measure how much carbon dioxide is produced Use varying amounts of sugar (glucose)
Challenge question 1: What would happen if you increased the temperature of the water bath to 50oC?
Nothing – respiration will not take place, as the enzymes will denature
Challenge question 2: Why is yeast used in bread making?
Yeast is used in bread making becuase it makes the bread rise. As carbon dioxide is produced during respiration, the bubbles in the dough make it rise.
