 Tube A: Yellow, high in CO2. No photosynthesis because no light; plant respires,
giving out carbon dioxide.
 Tube B: Plant photosynthesises and respires, but photosynthesises more than it
respires; carbon dioxide is used up.
 Tube C: Maggots respire, giving out carbon dioxide.
 Tube D: Maggots respire, giving out carbon dioxide.
 Tube E: No photosynthesis because no light; plant respires, giving out carbon
dioxide. Maggots respire, giving out carbon dioxide
 Tube F: Plant photosynthesises and respires, but photosynthesises more than it
respires, and therefore uses up carbon dioxide. Maggots respire, giving out carbon
dioxide. The two are likely to balance out.
