PRACTICAL: Demonstrating the production of heat in respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What 5 pieces of apparatus are needed for this experiment? | 1. Vacuum Flasks 2. Thermometer 3. Cotton wool 4. Germinating seeds 5. Dead/boiled seeds |
| What temperature change will happen in the flask with germinating seeds? | Temperature will increase |
| What temperature change will happen in the flask with dead seeds? | No temperature change |
| Why must there be some air in the vacuum flasks? | So the beans can respire aerobically |
| What must we first do to the beans before the experiment to make them germinate? | Soak them in water for a day or two |
| What must we first do to the control beans before the experiment? | Boil them to kill them, making sure they can't respire |
| How often should we record the temperature in each flask? | Everyday for a week |
| What 3 factors must be controlled in this experiment? | 1. The number of seeds 2. The starting temperature of the flasks 3. The material and size of the flasks |
| What are we changing in this experiment? | The content of the flasks (dead beans and germinating beans) |
| What 3 thing must be the same about the beans in this experiment? | 1. Size 2. Age 3. Species |
