The process of cell respiration is critical to life and takes place in the mitochondria. The equation of this event is shown below: CoH1206 + 602 6CO2 + 6H20 + ATP An experiment can be done to measure the amount of oxygen taken in by an organism by means of a respirometer. The diagram of the investigation is shown here. Pure O Colored water Animal chamber Screen platform Manometer Co absorbent Inert object that occupies a volume equal to the volume occupied by the animal and the CO, absorbent in the animal chamber The purpose of this experiment is to measure the rate of oxygen that the grasshopper consumes per minute. 1. In which direction would the red liquid flow after a short time? Would it be toward the direction of the grasshopper chamber or the empty chamber? Defend your answer. 2. Why was the CO2 absorbent added to the grasshopper chamber? 3. An object was also added to the empty chamber that would occupy the same volume as the animal chamber. Why was this done?
