Summary Introduction

To review:

The effect of temperature on respiration rate of a plant leaf of sagebrush by constructing its graph.

The following data collected from the leaf of plant sagebrush show that the respiration rate varies with temperature as the leaves are heated and cooled during measurements.

Introduction:

CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere is increasing day by day, although in potentially small quantity, due to fossil fuel combustion and respiration. Sagebrush is a plant from a semiarid ecosystem. The rate of CO 2 exchange is measured in a closed chamber.

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.
Depending on the environment the plant is in, more or less gas may be produced. Suggest a method for measuring the rate of gas production from the aquatic plant in Model 1.
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…
