In an experiment on avocado seeds some biologists measure the

rate of release of carbon dioxide from the seeds at the beginning of
their storage.
The graph on the right shows the results for two different seeds
over the first sixteen days.
Which of the following statements is a correct interpretation of the

data shown in the graph?
A. The overall trend shows that both seeds have the same rates of respiration over the 16 days.
B. The results seem unreliable because the release of carbon dioxide goes up and down.
Both seeds show an increase in respiration after four days and an overall decrease in respiration
C.
during the experiment.
D. Both seeds show the same increases in the rate of respiration at 4 days and 11 days.
In an experiment to measure the rate of respiration some peas were placed into three test tube
What is the chemical which absorbs the carbon dioxide that is likely to be added to the absorbent cotton?
A. An alkali, like sodium hydroxide
B. An acid, like hydrochloric acid
C. A salt like sodium chloride
D. An indicator like universal indicator
In this experiment to measure the rate of respiration, shown below, peas were tested.
What would you expect to see happening in the three capillary tubes during an experiment lasting 1 hour?
A. The bubble in the capillary tube of the germinating peas only will move downwards.
B. The bubble in both the tubes containing peas will move downwards
C. The bubble in the capillary tube of the germinating peas only will move upwards.
D. The bubble in all the capillary tubes will move downwards.
Muscle contraction require a lot of energy during strenuous exercise. Sometime this is more than can be
provided by aerobic respiration alone. Which of the following statements best describes what happens when
muscles are short of energy during strenuous exercise?
A. They switch to anaerobic respiration because oxygen is in short supply.
B. They do as much anaerobic respiration as they can but no aerobic respiration.
C. They do as much aerobic respiration as they can, but no anaerobic respiration
D. They carry out aerobic and anaerobic respiration at the same time.
In humans what is produced by muscle cells carrying out anaerobic respiration?
A. Lactate
B. Lipids
C. Lysosomes
D. Lactose
