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.
The loss of water from a plant by transpiration cools the leaf. Movement of water in transpiration requires both adhesion to the
conducting walls and wood fibers of the plant and cohesion of the molecules to each other. A scientist wanted to increase the rate
of transpiration of a crop species to extend its range into warmer climates. The scientist substituted a nonpolar solution with an
atomic mass similar to that of water for hydrating the plants. What do you expect the scientist's data will indicate from this
experiment?
The rate of transpiration will be the same for both water and the nonpolar substance.
Transpiration rates will fall to zero as nonpolar compounds do not have the properties necessary for adhesion and cohesion.
Transpiration rates will increase as nonpolar compounds undergo adhesion and cohesion with wood fibers more readily than water.
The rate of transpiration will be slightly lower with the nonpolar substance as the plant will not have evolved with the nonpolar…

- As CO2 concentrations increase in the atmosphere, biologists continue to explore the role of respiration from plants as a small but potentially important contribution beyond fossil fuel combustion. The data in the Table were collected from the leaf of a sagebrush plant from a semiarid ecosystem in Wyoming, enclosed in a chamber that measures the rate of CO2 exchange. The respiration rate is the amount of CO2 in micromoles lost by the leaf per square meter per second, which results in the negative numbers. The temperature values are from the leaves as they are heated or cooled during the measurements.

- Removal of the source of CO2 from photosynthesizing chloroplasts results in rapid changes in the concentration of certain chemicals. Which one of the following represents the correct combination of concentration changes?.arrow_forwardPhotosynthesis directly opposes respiration in determining how plants influence atmospheric CO2 concentrations. When a leaf is in the light, both photosynthesis and respiration are occurring simultaneously. The data in the Table were collected from the leaf of a sagebrush plant that was enclosed in a chamber that measures the rate of CO2 exchange. The same leaf was used to collect the data in Interpret the Data in Chapter 7. Respiration is shown as a negative and photosynthesis as a positive rate of CO2 exchange. The net photosynthesis rate is the amount of CO2 (in micromoles per square meter per second) assimilated by the leaf while respiration is occurring; a positive value indicates more photosynthesis is occurring than respiration. The light exposed to the leaf is quantified as the number of photons in the 400 to 700 nm wavelength, the photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD); 2,000 mol/m2/s is equivalent to the amount of light occurring at midday in full Sun.

- Scientific evidence indicates that the CO2 added to the air by the burning of wood and fossil fuels is contributing to global warming, a rise in global temperature. Tropical rain forests are estimated to be responsible for approximately 20% of global photosynthesis, yet the consumption of large amounts of CO2 by living trees is thought to make little or no net contribution to reduction of global warming. Why might this be? (Hint: What processes in both living and dead trees produce CO2?) *arrow_forwardSuppose you are conducting an experiment, in which you selectively lower the CO2 and O2 concentrations in the two experimental groups. The control group reflects conditions of the current atmosphere. You grow C3, C4 and CAM plants under these conditions and all other variables (soil, water, etc.) are identical in all groups. Plants are regularly watered and grown at cool temperatures. The table gives an overview of the treatment & control groups and the types of plants grown. You don't yet have results on plant growth (data cells are intentionally empty).

- A stoma (plural: stomata) is a tiny pore found on the underside of a leaf. When open, carbon dioxide can diffuse from the atmosphere, where it is present at approximately Catm= 0.70 mg/L, between the L = 5 μm thick guard cells, into the relatively well mixed air cavity within each stoma, and from the cavity into cells that consume it during photosynthesis. What is the mass flux of carbon dioxide into an open stoma that has a cross-sectional area of A = 2 μm2, a diffusion coefficient of D = 0.16 cm2/s, and a steady air cavity concentration of Cs = 0.04 mg/L?arrow_forwardIf an Elodea plant removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from a solution of water, the Elodea plant will then produce: Oxygen Carbon dioxide Light energy Waterarrow_forwardHigh levels of certain plant nutrients in runoff can lead to rapid growth of algae (an algal bloom) in aquatic ecosystems. These algal blooms are generally followed by algal death and decomposition, which consumes large amounts of dissolved oxygen in the water and results in oxygen levels insufficient to support aerobic respiration. This process is known as eutrophication. The amount of algae present in a body of water can be estimated from the amount of chlorophyll a in a sample of the water. A researcher studying eutrophication collected samples at different times of the year in a freshwater ecosystem. The samples were analyzed for total nitrogen and chlorophyll a concentration (Figure 1) as well as total phosphorus and chlorophyll a concentration (Figure 2). Which of the following was the dependent variable in the researcher’s study? a.The variance of the data points from the trend line b.The slope of the trend line showing the rate…arrow_forward
