Volume of oxygen consumed, Volume of carbon dioxide produced. From this you can calculate the respiratory quotient/rate of respiration.

What is control setup in biology?

What you measure by shuttle running?
You measure your speed, endurance, and stamina.
What is experiment set-up?
An experimental setup uses the independent variable.
What landmarks would you use to measure a femur and tibia?
The femur extends from the hip to the patella. So measure from your hip to the knee. The tibia extends from the patella to the ankle. So measure from the knee to the "ankle bone".
Which part of a phospholipid is charged or polar?
Phospholipids are made of two parts: the phosphate and the lipid. In this setup, the phosphate is the half that is polar, and thus the part that interacts with water.
What is used to measure oxygen consumption?
a respirometer
What is a respirometer used for?
It is used to measure either the rate at which oxygen is used up or the rate at which carbon dioxide is produced.
What is the function of the syringe in respirometer?
The function of the syringe in the respirometer practical is to make fine adjustments to the level of the manometer fluid, to ensure it is the same on either side.
Why is potassium hydroxide important when using a respirometer?
A simple whole animal respirometer designed to measure oxygen uptake or CO2 release consists of a sealed container with the living specimen together with a substance to absorb the carbon dioxide given off during respiration, such as soda lime pellets or cotton wads soaked with potassium hydroxide.
What is the difference between a respirometer and spirometer?
They r the same
How effectively the body uses the oxygen you breathe in is measured by the?
A respirometer. This is a device used to measure the rate of respiration of a living organism by measuring its rate of exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
How does a respirometer work?
A respirometer works by measuring the amount of oxygen breathed in and measuring the amount of carbon dioxide breathed out. It also measures how long it takes from a breath in to a breath out for normal respiration.
What test is used to identify the gas given off by the yeast?
respirometer
When an organism inside the respirometer consumes oxygen what happens to the water?
It dissolves.
What is the purpose of a control setup in an experiment?
A control setup is something where you know how it will behave. It gives you a reference to measure affect of all other variables.
Does the respirometer measures oxygen concentration being delivered within the ventilator circuit?
yes it does
What is the main disadvantage of a simple respirometer?
There is no inherent disadvantage with a simple respirometer for what I would assume to be a teaching application. There needs to be an understanding of the difference between teaching and research. A teaching unit is a black box that gives you numbers, a research grade respirometer gives you the actual data from the analyzers. Many manufacturers of teaching and or instructional systems such as Qubit Systems market their products as research grade but they are generally recognized as being strictly for teaching.
