Q. The most appropriate reason for taking germinating seeds in the experiment to show that carbon dioxide is produced during respiration, is :
(1) germinating seeds create high temperature
(2) germinating seeds are easy to handle
(3) germinating seeds are living things
(4) germinating seeds are in dormant to state

Q. In the experiment to show that carbon dioxide is produced during respiration by germinating seeds, the alkali solution kept in a small test-tube absorbs:

(1) only O₂ gas

(2) only CO₂ gas

(3) both O₂and CO₂ gases

(4) neither O₂nor CO₂ gases

Q. An experimental set-up to demonstrate respiration in germinating seeds is shown here. It is observed that water from the beaker has not risen into the delivery tube (bent tube). This is because :

(1) the set-up is airtight
(2) the beaker has coloured water
(3) carbon dioxide is not being absorbed
(4) no oxygen is available to seeds for respiration

Q. Before setting up an experiment to show that seeds release carbon dioxide during respiration, the seeds should be:
(1) dried completely
(2) boiled to make them soft
(3) soaked in potassium hydroxide solution
(4) kept moist till they germinate
