AEROBTC CELLULAR RESPTRATTON (BEAN LAB)<br />
fn this experiment, you will compore the oxygen consumption of<br />
nongerminoting soybeons ond genminoting soybeons.<br />
Oxygengos is consumed during oerobic cellulor respirotion ond corbon<br />
dioxide gas is given oIf. The uptoke of oxygen is the evidence thot on<br />
orgonism is corrying on oerobic cellulor respirotion. Your doto will not be<br />
affected by the releose of corbon dioxide becquse you will use potossium<br />
hydroxide (KOH) to remove it. Note the following eguotions fon:<br />
the removol of COz6Y KOH is' 6Q, + ?KOH ---------2 KzCOt + HzO<br />
oerobic cellulor respirotion ist C5HpO5+ Oz (Q2 + ll2O + ATP<br />
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE<br />
-_2<br />
1 - Prepore o room temperoture woter both:<br />
Fiff o green tub to q level of -5 centimeters of woter.<br />
Attoch mosking tGPe ocross the woter both, moking q "sling" to hold the<br />
respirometer pipette ends out of the water (see Figure b)'<br />
2 - Construct three respirom elers (see Figure o):<br />
Obtain three test tubes, eoch with o stoPPer ond calibroted pipette'<br />
Lobel the tubes 1, 2, ond 3 with the greose pencil in your desk drawer'<br />
3 - Follow all the remoining directions CAREFULLy!<br />
place oneof the six smoll wods of obsorbenf cotton in the bottom of each<br />
test tube.<br />
Carefully dispense drops of 15%KOH (potossium hydnoxide) to saturote the<br />
cotton in the tubes (fully wet, but not so99y). Do not get ony KOH on the<br />
sides of the test tubes; the tube 4gg! be dry. Reploce o tube with o<br />
clean one if you occidentolly get the sides wet.<br />
ploce o smoll wod of dry cotton on top of eoch of the KoH-sooked cotton<br />
wads. Use the some qmounts of cotton ond KoH for eoch respirometer.<br />
4 - Obtoin o 100 ml groduoted cylinder ond odd 50 ml of woter'<br />
Drop in twenty germinoted soybeons ond meosure the omount of woter<br />
disploced (thot is, how much the woter rises qbove the 50 ml mork)'<br />
Record this number here: ml.<br />
Remove the woter ond germinoting beons.<br />
Gently dry the beons on o Poper towel.<br />
5 - Plqce the germinoting beons in tube 1.<br />
fnsert the stoPper fitted with o colibroted pipette (seeFigure a)'
