Callie did a lab during which she investigated the difference in cellular respiration rates between two different types of corn germinating
and non-germinating. a germinating seed is one from which a plant has started to grow. a non-germinating seed is usually dry and a new
plant has not yet emerged. the data that she gathered are displayed in the graph.
after callie obtained her original results, she wanted to dig deeper. she determined that the germinating corn seed had utilized 100
molecules of glucose in the first few seconds that she performed the experiment. if these data are accurate, how many carbon dioxide
molecules would callie expect to have been released as a waste during this same amount of time? explain how you arrived at your
answer. the formula for cellular respiration is shown below.
c6h12o6 + 602 6co2 + 6h20 + energy
