Question

Callie did a lab during which she investigated the difference in cellular respiration rates between two different types of corn: germinating and non-germinating. A germinating seed is one from which a plant has started to grow. A non-germinating seed is usually dry, and a new plant has not yet emerged. The data that she gathered is displayed in the graph below.
In addition to carbon dioxide, which of the following should Callie expect the seeds to give off as a waste product from performing cellular respiration?


A.oxygen

B.glucose

C.water

D.energy

Answer 1

The answer is to your problem is D. energy

Answer 2

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

In a cellular respiration process, glucose is oxidized to produce carbon dioxide and energy.  

The general chemical equation of a cellular reaction is  

C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 --> 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + ATP

ATP is energy molecule which is used by cell in various metabolic processes. CO2 is used by photosynthesizing plants.  

Hence, along with CO2, water can also be considered as waste product.
