How was the way plants feed discovered?
Aristotle was a Greek scientist who thought that plants ate soil and sucked it up through their roots. Most people believed this until the 17th century. In the 17th century, a scientist called Jan van Helmont tested Aristotle's theory. He measured the masses of a small tree and some soil in a pot. He planted the tree and watered it for 5 years In van Helmont's experiment the mass of the soil did not go down much (0.06kgs/ 0.132lbs) but the mass of the tree went up a lot (74.47kg/163.834lbs). This showed that Aristotle's theory was wrong. Van Helmont suggested that the tree got all of its food from water. In 1782, Jean Senebier showed that plants need carbon dioxide gas from the air and suggested that plants only use this gas to make food. In 1804, Nicholas de Saussure did van Helmont's experiment again, but he carefully measured the amounts of carbon dioxide and water he gave to the plant. He showed that both carbon dioxide and water are needed.
What does dermalogically tested mean?
It means it has been tested on human skin.
How is common variable immunodeficiency diagnosed?
The main diagnostic test that distinguishes common variable immunodeficiency from other immunodeficiency diseases is the low antibody level despite the normal number of B cells. Antibody levels are tested in the serum
What organs are not tested in an autopsy?
lungs
What does a sperm donor get tested for before they are able to donate?
Well they obviously would be tested for any STDs and maybe if they have a history of birth defects.
Which liquid is used to test for carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide levels are tested through the blood
When did the carbon-oxygen cycle start to change?
In my own opinion and un-tested hypothesis.... that carbon oxygen cycle start to change when there is no more plants to give oxygen and get carbon dioxide and there is no animals and humans that inhale oxygen and give off or exhale carbon dioxide.
Why splint test for carbon dioxide is not good?
The splint test is to test for the presence of oxygen. You light a small piece of wood (the splint), then blow it out. The end of the wood will still glow. If you put the glowing splint into a test tube with oxygen, it will relight. It you put the glowing splint into a test tube with carbon dioxide, it will stop glowing. A better test for carbon dioxide is to bubble it through a solution of limewater.
Would it be possible to design a device that tested for both carbon dioxide and hydrogen?
yes it is possible
How do you prove that given salt is carbonate of a metal?
it can be tested in the following way- metal carbonate+acid=metal salt+carbon dioxide+water
What gas do we exhale that can be tested for using limewater?
Carbon Dioxide will change limewater (calcium hydroxide) into calcium carbonate. This shows as a white precipitation (milky).
What is impact tested carbon steel?
By the ability of the material of carbon steel, its called as IMPACT tested carbon steel
How can CO2 gas be detected?
CO2 gas can be detected by a carbon monoxide detected which are sold at most department stores.
What substance used to detect the presence of carbon dioxide?
Test for Carbon Dioxide: Bubble unknown gas in lime water. Limewater should go milky if Carbon dioxide is present. Test for water: Add anhydrous copper sulphate crystals (white in colour) to unknown solution. If solution goes a brilliant light blue colour, water is present as the hydrous copper sulphate crystals were formed. Did this help?
What carbon monoxide used for?
it is a gas emitted in automobile fumes... it is colorless and odorless... it can kill you by taking the place of oxygen in red blood cells and depriving your body of oxygen... your home needs to be tested for carbon monoxide... it is found in cigarette smoke... hope that helps!
What did van Niel hypothesize?
C.B. van Niel's hypothesized that the oxygen released by plants during photosynthesis comes from carbon dioxide. In the 1930s, he studied photosynthesis in bacteria that make their carbohydrate from carbon dioxide but do not release oxygen. One such group used hydrogen sulfide, rather than water for photosynthesis, as illustrated by its chemical equation: CO2 + 2 H2S-->[CH2O] + H2O + 2S Since no oxygen was released in these experiments despite the presence of carbon dioxide, he concluded that carbon dioxide is not split into carbon and oxygen, at least in these bacteria, which helped to disprove the prevailing hypothesis of his day. From his experiment results shown below, he also conjectured that all photosynthetic organisms require a hydrogen source although the source varies. Sulfur bacteria: CO2 + 2 H2s-->[CH2O] + H2O + 2S Plants: CO2 + 2 H2O--> [CH2O] + H2O + O2 General: CO2 + 2 H2X--> [CH2O] + H2O + 2X Van Niel also used his inductive reasoning to hypothesize that the oxygen given off by photosynthetic plants is derived from water as plants split water as a source of electrons from hydrogen atoms, releasing oxygen as a byproduct, which later proven true two decades later as his hypothesis was tested using an isotope of oxygen that acts as a radioactive tracer to follow the oxygen atoms during photosynthesis.
How would you use lime water to test if there is carbon dioxide in your exhaled breath?
when lime water react with carbon dioxide,it turns milky.So, we have to take some lime water in a test tube and exhale 2 -3 times to the test tube through a bend tube. It will turn milky and that's why our exhaled breath is carbon dioxide.
