1. In general, ADP and phosphate are converted into what type of energy? (0.25 pt)

2. What was unit on which the gases in the rate of respiration was measured? (0.25pt)

3. O₂ sensor remained ______________(vertical/horizontal/diagonal) and CO₂ sensor remained_______________(vertical/horizontal/diagonal) throughout the experiment. (0.5 pt)

4. What is your hypothesis on the rate of respiration in the each of the following cases: (0.33 pts for each question- 1 pt)

1. In case of germinated peas and non-germinated (dead) peas- which specimen would respire more? Which specimen will have released more CO₂ and used up more O₂ in the bio chamber during the experimental set up?

2. In case of germinated peas in room temperature and cold temperature - Will there be difference in respiration because of the difference in temperature? which specimen would respire more? Which specimen will have released more CO₂ and used up more O₂ in the bio chamber during the experimental set up?

3. In case of germinated peas and insects (beetle) which specimen would respire more? Which specimen will have released more CO₂ and used up more O₂ in the bio chamber during the experimental set up? Fun fact- insects move and peas do not- do you think this will affect the rate of respiration between the specimens?

Answer 1

1) ADP and phosphate are converted into ATP( Adenosine triphosphate )..ATP acts the source of energy..

2) The unit on which the gases in the rate of respiration is measured is - Breaths/Minute

3) O₂ sensor remained ___Horizontal___________(vertical/horizontal/diagonal) and CO₂ sensor remained______Vertical_________(vertical/horizontal/diagonal) throughout the experiment. (0.5 pt)

4) In case of germinated peas and non-germinated (dead) peas- which specimen would respire more? Which specimen will have released more CO₂ and used up more O₂ in the bio chamber during the experimental set up?

In case of above experiment The germinated peas will respire more..& for this reason Germinated peas will have released more CO2 and used up more O2 during each respiration..

5) In case of germinated peas in room temperature and cold temperature - Will there be difference in respiration because of the difference in temperature? which specimen would respire more? Which specimen will have released more CO₂ and used up more O₂ in the bio chamber during the experimental set up?

In case of above experiment The plants in the cold temperature are respire more..& for this released more CO2 and released more O2..Because- cold temperature is more effective for respiration than the excess temperature..

6) In case of germinated peas and insects (beetle) which specimen would respire more? Which specimen will have released more CO₂ and used up more O₂ in the bio chamber during the experimental set up? Fun fact- insects move and peas do not- do you think this will affect the rate of respiration between the specimens?

In case of above experiment The germinated peas will respire more..& for this reason Germinated peas will have released more CO2 and used up more O2 during each respiration..Because-The rate of respiration of Germinated peas is more than others..
