Answer:
The leaf discs only float in bicarbonate solution and in the light environment.
Explanation:
The bicarbonate dissolves in water to produce a source of inorganic CO2 in the reaction:
NaHCO3 + H2O → H2CO3 + OH- + Na+
Then, the HCO3- undergoes fixation through several complex steps in order to form a carbohydrate or sugar. These store the converted solar energy in their bonds as chemical energy to be used in metabolism.
Photosynthesis is a chemical process, essential to plant and other primary producers producing energy. Energy in the form of glucose molecules is derived from solar or light energy, water, and inorganic carbon dioxide, while it releases oxygen (from the light reaction). The leaf discs float as O2 gas is produced, making them buoyant.
6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2
Carbon dioxide + water + energy= glucose + oxygen
Not sure if I'm correct but my best guess is the cell membrane seeing as it surrounds the cell itself and is responsible for allowing certain molecules to diffuse in or out of the cell. Good Luck! :)

Answer: Yes.
Explanation:
DNP and cyanide are both cellular respiration inhibitor.
Cyanide is a neurotoxin that can prevent cellular respiration by it's inactivation activity on mitochondria enzymes called cytochrome oxidase.
DNP (2,4-Dinitrophenol is a chemical that inhibit cellular respiration. It help to shuttle proton across cell membranes of living cells by spreading the proton along along the mitochondria and collapsing the force that produced energy for the cell activities.
