A student performed an experiment using dry, non-germinating seeds to measure the rate of cellular respiration. She then watered the seeds so they began to germinate and performed the experiment again. Finally, she allowed the same seeds to grow into leafy green plants and performed the experiment one last time. Assuming the mass, temperature, and pressure were kept constant, which experiment would you expect to cause the volume of oxygen to decrease at the fastest rate? Explain.

Respiratory organs in plants and animals vary. These organs are specialized to perform an important role in gas exchange. Try to identify the plant and animal organs involved in the process of respiration. Figure 1 shows a leaf cross-section, determine which part of this leaf is used for gas exchange. Then on the other hand, figures 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 present different animal respiratory organs. Distinguish each organ utilized by animals for respiration.

You are a PhD student interested in studying the effects of hypoxia on the behavior of mesenchymal stemcells. You want to culture cells in a hypoxic environment. You decide to use a tri-gas incubator, which allowsfor precise control of the oxygen tension, as well as the partial pressures of nitrogen and carbon dioxide inthe cell culture system.A tri-gas incubator is a type of cell culture system that allows for the control of the three main gasesin the culture environment: oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen. The oxygen tension and carbon diox-ide tension in the culture environment can be controlled by adjusting the percentages of these gases in thegas mixture that is supplied to the incubator. Hint: To calculate the partial pressure of nitrogen, you can use pN2= pTotal −pO2−pCO2 Part 1.3Calculate the partial pressure of nitrogen (in mmHg) that would be required. Part 1.4In planning for this experiment, you have to order gas cylinders ahead of time. Which cylinder should youorder the…

A flask containing an aquatic plant in water is placed next to a light. A sensor that detects the amount of dissolved oxygen is placed in the flask, and the light is set on a timer to run on a 12-hour-light, 12-hour-dark cycle for 48 hours. Explain how the amount of dissolved oxygen will change in the flask during the 12-hour-light cycle Support your explanation using information about the processes that are occurring in the flask.Explain how the amount of dissolved oxygen will change in the flask during the 12-hour-dark cycle.

I'm studing Cellular Respiration. We did a lab. We had technical difficulties... our CO2 gas sensor wasn't working properly. So I am curious, what trends SHOULD I have seen. We compared the CO2 output of bean sprouts vs mealworms. We tested at both room temp (27 degrees C) vs cold temp (15 degrees C) for both the mealworms and bean sprouts. I need to know the trends I should have seen, ie. does an animal or plant produces more C02 and why? Also does the the cool temp make the reduction in CO2 production? Thank you.
