Gas balance in respiration and photosynthesis

What plants make by photosynthesis, plants and animals break down by respiration. In any community, the balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen is essential to all elements of the community. In individual organisms, detailed analysis of gas exchange can give an insight into the chemical processes within the organisms.

Experiments

• Measuring respiratory quotient
• How do plants and animals change the environment around them?
• Measuring the rate of metabolism
