Experiment 3
3. (You are not required to conduct the experiment.
You are only required to set up the experiment.)
(a) Set up an experiment to find out whether carbon dioxide is given off during aerobic
respiration in animals. You are to include one more control set up. [2]
(b) Draw out the experiment set up if you wish to find out if plants perform
respiration. You are to include one more control set up. [2]

You are given the following items.

Hydrogencarbonate indicator
One small plant
2 test tubes
2 rubber stoppers
