which apparatus are required to prove temperatures raises in respiration in plants please help, me
Answers
Answer:
Respirometers
Explanation:
The equipment used is called a respirometer and the effect of changing the temperature on the rate of respiration can be investigated. Respirometers are used to measure the rate of respiration.
Apparatus: equal amounts of germinating and dry seeds, two thermos bottle, two corks with a small hole, two sensitive thermometers.
Procedure:
Germinating seeds and dry seeds are added in two thermos bottles, respectively
The cork and thermometer are fixed to the bottles & the temperature reading is noted down.
The apparatus is left undisturbed for 30 mins & the temperature is noted again.
Result: The germinating seeds show a rise in temperature as the seeds undergo aerobic respiration and there will be no difference in the dry seed's temperature because they don't respire. Therefore, we infer that the germinating seeds produce heat which increases the temperature of the thermometer.
