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)'
