natural science LAB 2
In this video we discuss how respiration is not only to obtain oxygen but also energy or ATP. The ability for an organism to produce mass amounts of ATP allowed them to evolve and the process that made this possible is respiration, which is the main player in an aerobic metabolism. We discuss how the germinating peas go through respirtation and consume oxygen but only when CO2 is absorbed by the KOH. We also discusses how in our experiment more CO2 was peoduced than oxygen consumed. Overall, we learned the germinating peas are constantly respirating for energy and it is a rapid porcess.

Guys you are very talented… and you looked good wearing those suits
Just need to fix the oxygen consumption lab. You forgot to transform the data. In the way you are showing it, it seems that Oxygen consumption goes down with time. Also, did not understand you said that respiration evolved from photosynthesis? I guess you meant after it!
As always you made me laugh with your performance
