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.
Cottonwood trees are commonly found along river banks and irrigation ditches. They have broad flat leaves and can transpire 200 gallons of water per day. Many succulent plants live in hot, arid environments and have thick leaves with a wax-like substance covering their leaves. They generally open their stomata for gas exchange at night. Using your understanding of transpiration, find the adaptations that allow these plants to survive in their respective environments.
