What is a requirement for the accurate measurements of the rate of respiration using a respirometer?
CO2 must be absorbed by water so that only O2 production is measured
Temperature must be kept constant so that the volume changes are only due to O2 use
Anaerobic organisms are better to use than aerobic ones as they will produce larger volume changes
Warm-blooded animals are better to use than cold-blooded animals as they do not change the temperature of the container
Which way will the drop of liquid move in this respirometer and how do you explain it?
Left - Carbon dioxide produced in respiration is absorbed by the soda lime so the volume of gas in the tube decreases
Right - Carbon dioxide produced in respiration is absorbed by the soda lime so the volume of gas in the tube increases
No movement - the volume of CO2 produced in respiration is the same as the volume of O2 used so there is no net change
Depends - The movement will be different depending on whether the woodlice respire anaerobically or aerobically
When investigating the effect of temperature on the rate of respiration, why do you need tube Q with glass beads?
To make sure it is a fair test - the volume of glass beads needs to be the same as the volume of soda lime
It is a control variable - it allows you to see what happens without the soda lime
It is a control - changes in temperature could also cause the bubble to move and this allows you to take that into account
Glass beads have a high specific heat capacity so it makes it easier to maintain a constant temperature in the tubes
