Experiment-9, Rate of Aerobic Respiration, PAIM, To study rate of (aerobic respiration) by using flower buds /germinating seeds /leaf tissue,, Requirements:, A conical flask, beaker, graduated glass tube bent twice at right angles, a small test tube, thread, rubber cork, with a hole., KOH, water., Germinating seeds of pea /gram, mustard /groundnuts and wheat or flower buds., Theory Respiration is an enzyme controlled process of biological oxidation of food materials in a living cell,, using molecular O, and producing CO, and H,O and releasing energy in small steps and storing in useful, forms, generally ATP.), The substances oxidised during respiration are called respiratory substrates. There include carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. The rate of respiration can be measured in terms of either utilization of molecular oxygen or evolution of, CO,, Different respiratory substrates have different quantity of C and O atoms in their molecules and therefore, the, amount of CO, evolved /g wt. of substrate also differ., Thus, the rate of respiration for different respiratory substrates can be studied in terms of the amount of CO,, evolved / gweight of the substrate., Procedure:, 1. Take a definite quantity (i.e., 10 g) of germinating seeds of wheat in the conical flask and hang a small test-tube, containing KOH crystals inside the flask with the help of a thread., 2. Through the hole of the cork, pass a glass tube bent twice at right angles in such a way that one end of the tube, is in the beaker containing water and other end is in the conical flask., 3., Make the apparatus air tight and leave undisturbed., 4. Note the initial level of water in the tube., 5 Also set a control experiment without germinating seeds in the flask., 6X Repeat the experiment taking the other types of germinating seeds (Mustard / groundnuts and gram/pea)., 7* Note the final rise in the level of water in the glass tube dipped in water for each type of seeds and record the, data in the observation table., Obsorvation: Note the initial and final levels of water to calculate the total rise. Now note the inner diameter of the, heand hence the radius. Then calculate the volume water risen in the capillary tube. This will be equivalent to the, germinating seeds., 38, BIOLOGY-11

This shows that germinating seeds or flower buds produce CO, during, aerobic respiration as KOH can absorb CO,. The rise in the level of water will be proportional to the amount of CO,, produced by the seeds or absorbed by KOH., The amount of CO, produced will depend upon the respiratory rate of the germinating seeds. Hence, by knowing, the amount of water risen or the CO, produced in the time interval, the rate of respiration for different seeds is, calculated., The rise in water level is comparatively less in the case of mustard / groundnuts and gram / pea because there, seeds utilize fat and proteins as respiratory substrate and release less of CO,. The rise in the water level is more in, case of wheat grains as the later utilize carbohydrates as respiratory substrates., Precautions:, L The apparatus should always be kept air tight., 2. Fresh KOH should be taken for the experiment., 3. The initial and final levels of water should be taken very accurately., 4. Only germinating seed (not dry) should be used., BIOLOGY-11
