Question

What would happen if germinating seeds are replaced by boiled seeds in the experiment carbon dioxide is released during respiration?

Answer 1

As the seeds respire, they are taking in oxygen and respiring out carbon dioxide, but the carbon dioxide is absorbed by the calcium hydroxide. ...If left alone in a sealed test tube, thecarbon dioxide would replace any oxygen utilized by the seeds and the air pressure would remain relatively constant.
