Questions 32 and 33 refer to the following scenario: A cell containing a high concentration of CO2 is placed into a solution containing a high concentration of O2. The concentration of CO2 in the cell is equal to the concentration of O2 outside the cell.
What will happen to the O2 in the solution? a) It will be actively transported into the cell, moving down its concentration gradient. b) It will diffuse into the cell, moving down its concentration gradient. c) It will not move because it can’t cross the cell membrane. d) It will not move because there is as much CO2 in the cell as O2 outside it. e) none of the above

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?
