Oxygen Electrode

Description

Measuring of the oxygen activity of the reaction mixture by using Oxygen Electrode.

The oxygen electrode virtual laboratory was developed to replace the wet lab which was being phased out due to a combination of capacity limitations, the high cost of replacing damaged equipment and access to supervisory staff. The virtual lab was able to effectively teach more students at a fraction of the first year’s equivalent development cost.

In this virtual lab you will perform experiments to measure oxygen consumption by isolated mitochondria and so investigate how ATP is generated via the electron transport chain.

Learning Outcomes

Electron flow to oxygen as a result of oxidative phosphorylation can be demonstrated using an oxygen electrode.
