Take three test tubes and label it as A, B and C. Fill 34th of each with water. Keep a snail in test tube A, a water plant in test tube B and in C, keep both snail and plant. In which of these test tubes CO2 (carbon dioxide) level will be higher? [5 MARKS]
Each point: 1 Mark
1. Test tube A will have highest concentration of CO2.
2. The experiment shows relationship between animals and plants.
3. Test tube A: During breathing snail inhales dissolved oxygen from water and releases carbon dioxide CO2.
4. Test tube B: Water plants along with respiration perform photosynthesis (food preparation) as well; therefore it absorbs CO2 and releases O2.
5. Test tube C: The CO2 released by snail will be absorbed by the plants for photosynthesis, thus there will be a balance of gases.
