Water moved into the respirometers' pipettes due to the decrease in pressure caused by oxygen consumption by the enclosed organisms. As oxygen was used in respiration, the volume of gas inside the respirometer decreased, leading to water being drawn into the pipettes to balance the pressure.

How Do pipettes suck up water?

Pipettes use suction to draw up liquid by creating a vacuum within the pipette tip. When you press the plunger to decrease the pressure inside the pipette, the liquid is pulled up into the tip due to the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the pipette.


How can I properly calibrate pipettes?

To properly calibrate pipettes, follow these steps: Use a calibrated balance to measure the weight of water dispensed by the pipette.
