LAB REPORT
PHOTOS – Include the digital photos as attachments or place them right into your report.
Photo #1 - Take a photo which is a CLOSE UP of the seeds AFTER they have germinated, while still in the petri dish.
Photo #2 – Take a photo of your experimental set up with the two tubes in the glass, AT THE END. Get close enough that the results show in both tubes. Set up your tubes side by side on the same side of the glass so this can be done. You may need to put BLACK PAPER or a dark background behind the glass, to reduce glare.

C. What is the role of the NaOH-saturated ball of cotton in the respirometer? What would have
occurred if it were not in place?
D. In photosynthesis what is the reactant gas and what is the product gas?
In respiration what is the reactant gas and what is the product gas?
What is the elegant relationship between these gases and these two different processes?
