Learn how temperature affects the rate of respiration.
Students measure rate of respiration by recording and analyzing changing manometer readings.
These respirometers measure the rate at which organisms use oxygen. CO2 produced by the organism is absorbed by KOH to allow O2 consumption to be read from a manometer.
The kit comes with two 15 x 3cm test tubes fitted with stoppers, special three-way plastic stopcocks, and a manometer with 1mm bore.
It is designed to hang over the rim of a tall form beaker used as a water bath for the test tubes, so you can observe the respiration rates under different temperatures.
