Question

1. What biomolecule are the peas using to generate ATP energy? 2. Which seed condition should yield the most CO2? Explain, 3. Which seed condition should yield the least CO2? Explain Collect Data from all groups and write class averages in the table below Table 1 Rate of respiration (ppm/s) Peas Temperature (°C) Germinated, room temp 1.0568 Non-germinated, room temp Germinated, col emp.528 28 28 4. Did your results conform to your predictions? Explain. 5.What is the effect of germination on cellular respiration? 6. Why do germinated peas undergo cell respiration? 7. Are germinating peas photosynthesizing, therefore taking in CO2?

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1) The biomolecule in the pea which is most used for generation of the ATP and which is later used as energy is carbohydrate. It is broken down and in the process generates ATP.

Ans 2) A high seed condition is the one which is responsible for most generation of the carbon-dioxide. The seed which is high in carbohydrate is responsible for production of high amount of carbon-dioxide.

Ans 3) when the seed in its starved condition and does not get proper nutrition, it produces least amount of carbin-dixoxide. It is because it is not able to get the right proportion of energy needed for the same.
