1) Describe the relationship between the amount of O2 consumed and time.
2) From the slope of the lines on the graph determine the rate of O2 consumption of germinating and non-germinating peas during the experiments at room temp, 30oC and 10oC.
Germinating peas @ Room Temp. ml O2/min
Germinating peas @ 10oC ml O2/min
Germinating peas @ 30oC ml O2/min
Dry peas @ Room Temp. ml O2/min
Dry peas @ 10oC ml O2/min
Dry peas @ 30oC ml O2/min
3) Why is it necessary to correct the pea readings with the bead readings?
4) What was the effect of germination versus non-germination on pea seed respiration? Explain?
5) What was the effect of temperature on pea seed respiration? Explain?
