Summary Introduction
The presence of CO2 in the atmosphere is higher and increased day by day by the burning of fossil fuels. According to the Keeling curve, the levels of CO2 have increased dramatically over the past 60 years. Apart from natural CO2 emission like volcanos, human are the major contributors to increase CO2 dramatically by burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial revolutions

- Does a negative change in the oxygen per minute indicate photosynthesis or cellular respiration?arrow_forwardScientists were studying the effects exercise (running on a treadmill) has on the amount CO2 production and breathing rates on humans. Their conclusion was that a person who just completed a bout of exercise would have higher CO2 production and increased breathing rates when compared to when they were sitting in a chair. They also found that CO2 production and breathing rates would increase the longer they exercised. Based upon what we know about cellular respiration and energy production, select the reason that best explains the results of the testing above, CO2 production increases because CO2 is being made in the electron transport chain to keep the electrons moving. Breathing rates will increase in order to get rid of the lactic acid from working muscles. CO2 production increases because more of this is made as a direct result of glucose being split for energy. Breathing rates will increase with exercise in order to supply the muscles with more O2.

- 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.arrow_forwardSelect all the TRUE statement/s: O A) Loading of oxygen occurs in tissues O B) High pH favors loading O C) High temperature favors loading OD) All of the above OE) None of the abovearrow_forwardWhy is oxygen important for animals to survive?arrow_forward
