Question

Why we should take germinating seeds in a conical flask for the experiment carbon dioxide is given out during the process of respiration?

Answer 1

In conical flask experiment germinating seed is taken as it releases a large amount of carbon dioxide which is measurable. Moreover, as the seed come out of dormancy period and require more energy is becoming metabolically active so the amount of certain hormones is high like gibberings that helps them to increase the process of respiration and break down of starch occurs at higher rate this helps to increase the release of $C{O}_2$ from the seed.
