- In this experiment, you will be monitoring changes in CO2 concentration due to aerobic respiration and photosynthesis of each test organism. Which of the following results would be expected from the conditions described? Remember this is a closed system (the CO2 cannot escape), and we are monitoring changes in CO2 concentration over a 3 minute period. A) An animal will produce a higher increase in CO2 when exposed to the light than when kept in the dark. B) A plant will cause an overall higher increase in C02 concentration when exposed to light versus an plant kept in the dark. C) A plant will cause an overall higher increase of CO2 concentration when kept in the dark versus a plant exposed to light. D) An animal will show a decrease in CO2 while kept in the dark and an increase in CO2 while in the light.arrow_forwardUsing a P-1000 micropipette, you transfer 800 microliter of ddH2O to a beaker and measure its weight.
