The following points highlight the top sixteen experiments on respiration in plants. Some of the experiments are: 1. Demonstration of Aerobic Respiration in Plants 2. Demonstration of Anaerobic Respiration 3. Demonstration of Alcoholic Fermentation 4. Determination of Rate of Respiration 5. Comparison of Rate of Respiration in different Plant Parts and Others. Experiment # 1 […]

Let us make an in-depth study of the cyanide resistant respiration and physiological significance of cyanide resistant respiration. The flow of electrons in the usual mitochondrial electron transport chain (in both animals and plants) during aerobic respiration is blocked by the presence of cyanides which inhibit the activity of cytochrome oxidase. This type of respiration […]

The below mentioned article will guide you about how to determine the value of respiratory quotient by using Ganong’s Respirometer. The apparatus: Ganong’s Respirometer (Fig. 16.20) consists of a glass-bulb connected with a graduated glass tube. The neck of the bulb bears a hole. The lower part of the glass stopper which fits in the […]
