Exercise 11-Cellular Respiration

Complete the essay questions below and provide your answers as required by your instructor



1

If aquatic plants photosynthesize and respire at equal rates in an aquarium, then what is the most likely effect on the pH of water?
2

If you could measure the respiration rate of one brine shrimp that is 1 mm long and compare its relative respiration rate to that of a sprig of Elodea that is 10mm long, which would probably have the higher respiration rate? Which would have the higher respiration rate per ml of organism? If there is a discrepancy, why do you think this is?
3

When metabolism is studied in humans, they are often made to walk or run on a treadmill while breathing into a tube. Why do you think they are put on the treadmill? What do you think is being measured by the tube?
