11. Why did the pH decrease in the test tubes containing
maggots and germinating beans? Choose 2 answers.

Lactic acid has a low pH The organisms released CO2 in

A B
aerobic respiration

C The O2 concentration decreased D CO2 dissolves to form an acid

The organisms released lactic acid in

E
anaerobic respiration

12. This is an experiment to measure the rate of respiration in

seeds. Why are the seeds in a vacuum flask?

To prevent light reaching the seeds To keep the seeds warm to speed up
A B
germination

To retain the small amount of heat So that the room temperature doesn't
C D
released by respiration affect the results

13. This is an experiment to measure the rate of respiration in

seeds. Why is there cotton wool in the mouth of the vacuum
flask?

18. Why do mice have a faster rate of respiration than a hippo?

They eat continuously and therefore They have a larger SA:V ratio and
A have more glucose available for B need to release more heat energy to
respiration stay warm.

They have a higher body temperature They need more energy because they
C so they need to release more heat D move around more
energy
