Seed Respiration Lab
Name _________________________
1. How do the energy needs of a non-germinating versus a germinating seed differ?
Determine what variable you’ll be testing.
Beans or Peas?
3. Write a hypothesis ? _______________________________________________________________________________
4. As you’re exercising and using more energy what observable changes take place in your body to indicate that you’re using more energy?
5. What could be measured from non-germinating versus germinating seeds to determine which one is using more energy?
6. In your lab book create a procedure which measures the energy usage of germinating versus non-germinating seeds. Then create a data table to record your results.
