Question

Students were asked to set up an experiment each group was given 4 flasks and each flask was set up according to the table below the flask were sealed

Chart:
Flask number number 1 contents of flask 1 plant
Flask number 2 contents of flask 2 goldfish
Flask number 3 1 plant and 2 goldfish
Flask number 4 contents of flask nothing
Part a- if the flask were left sealed for a weak flask number _ would most likely have the largest amount of CO2?
Part B _ would help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide produced from your answer to part a
Options for blank A 1, 2, 3, or 4
Options for blank B Add a plant to the flask, add a goldfish to the flask, remove a plant from the flask, do nothing as the carbon dioxide will naturally become diluted.

Part A: Flask number 2 would most likely have the largest amount of CO2. This is because the goldfish in flask 2 would produce CO2 through cellular respiration, while the other flasks would have either no living organisms (flask 4) or plants that absorb CO2 for photosynthesis (flasks 1 and 3).

**Part B:** Adding a plant to the flask would help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide produced from your answer to part A. This is because plants absorb CO2 during photosynthesis, which would counterbalance the production of CO2 by the goldfish.
