In 3-5 sentences, explain how the rate of photosynthesis or cellular respiration can be measured using products or reactants.
1 answer
The rate of photosynthesis can be measured by measuring the rate of oxygen production, as oxygen is a product of photosynthesis. This can be done by using an oxygen sensor or by measuring the volume of oxygen produced over a given time period. Similarly, the rate of cellular respiration can be measured by measuring the rate of carbon dioxide production, as carbon dioxide is a product of cellular respiration. This can be done by using a carbon dioxide sensor or by measuring the volume of carbon dioxide produced over a given time period.
