When the test tubes are inverted and placed straight down into the colored water of the
beaker, the air pressure inside the test tubes prevents the water from rising in the tubes by
more than a couple of millimeters. The water line should be visible. As cellular respiration
takes place in the germinating seeds, the carbon dioxide given off is in direct proportion to
the oxygen being taken up by the seed. However, this carbon dioxide (gas) reacts with CaO
to form calcium carbonate (solid), which reduces the amount of gas in the tube and allows
the water to rise.
Hello,
I have a question.
How does colour affect a mealworm's respiration?
Do mealworms breathe more slowly when sleeping?
Do mealworms stop breathing for a bit, then breathe again?
Thank you, and just tell me what you know.
If you only know the answer to one of these, that would still help me so much!

Um... not exactly what I was hoping for, but thanks anyway!

What if the colour was a light with a colour filter on it?
