Vedclass · Answer

(A) Ganong's respiroscope is a laboratory apparatus specifically designed to demonstrate the process of aerobic respiration in germinating seeds.It works on the principle that during aerobic respiration,seeds consume oxygen and release carbon dioxide.The apparatus consists of a bulb containing germinating seeds connected to a tube containing a potassium hydroxide $(KOH)$ solution.As the seeds respire,they absorb oxygen,and the $CO_2$ produced is absorbed by the $KOH$ solution,creating a partial vacuum that causes the level of the liquid in the tube to rise,thereby demonstrating the consumption of oxygen and the release of $CO_2$.
