fuction of boiled seeds in exoermients of respiration
Answers
Put some germinating seeds in a conical flask. With the help of a thread suspend a small tube containing KOH in the flask. Through the hole of the cork, pass a glass tube bent twice at right angles. One end of the tube is in the flask while the other end is in the beaker filled with water.Make the apparatus airtight. Note the level of water in the tube. Keep the apparatus for some time and note the position of water.

Keep the apparatus for some time and note the position of water.It is observed that water rises in the tube. The rise in the level of water is due to a partial vacuum created in the flask because the gas produced during respiration is absorbed by KOH.

Answer:
Respiration is a characteristic process of living organisms involving the release of energy by breakdown of chemical compounds.
The live seeds show an increase in the temperature; boiled seeds do not show any increase. Living seeds respire and evolve heat while the boiled seeds do not respire and do not evolve heat.
