This document discusses three activities related to cellular respiration. [1] The first activity shows that carbon dioxide is produced during respiration by using lime water, which turns milky in the presence of carbon dioxide. [2] The second activity demonstrates that carbon dioxide is also produced during alcoholic fermentation by yeast, as seen by lime water turning milky. [3] The third activity observes that aquatic animals like fish breathe at a higher rate than terrestrial animals due to their gills rapidly taking in oxygen from water.

ACTIVITY ZONE ACTIVITY 1 (NCERT Pg 101) form of ATP only. This is evident from the fact that whenever the body requires energy, ATP breaks down to ADP and Pi to fulfil the need of energy. Aim 4. Where does the first step of respiration takes place in To show that carbon dioxide is produced during the cell? respiration. Ans The first step of respiration takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell in which the 6 carbon compound called glucose, breaks Materials Required down into two molecules of 3 carbon compound called Two test tubes, freshly prepared lime water, pichkari or pyruvate. This process of breaking down of glucose is known syringe, rubber tube and a glass tube. as glycolysis. 5. Which process is continuous, photosynthesis or Procedure respiration? 1. Pour freshly prepared lime water in each test tube Ans Respiration is a continuous process which leads to the (A and B ). breakdown of food and liberation of energy. It takes place throughout day and night, while photosynthesis takes place Pichkari/syringe only in the presence of sunlight (day time). Glass tube Rubber tube Test tube ACTIVITY 2 (NCERT Pg 101) containing Lime water lime water Aim A B To show that carbon dioxide is produced during alcoholic A. Air passed into lime water with a fermentation. pichkari/syringe Materials Required 2. Blow air in test tube B through the lime water with the Fresh juice or 10% glucose solution, yeast, large test tube, help of glass tube. single holed cork, twice bent glass tube (delivery tube), 3. Pass air through lime water in test tube A with the small test tube, freshly prepared lime water, glass rod and help of a pichkari or syringe fitted with the fine non-drying oil. rubber tube. 4. Note how long it takes for the lime water to turn milky. Procedure 1. Mix fresh juice or 10% glucose solution with yeast. Observation 2. Pour this mixture upto 3/4th level in a large test tube 1. Lime water turns milky in test tube B. fitted with a one holed cork. 2. Lime water takes long time to turn milky in test tube A. 3. Pour a drop of non-drying oil over it to exclude Conclusion air (oxygen). 4. Fit the cork with a bent glaes tube. 1. Lime water turns milky when carbon dioxide mixes with it. 5. Dip the free end of the delivery tube into a smaller test tube containing freshly prepared lime water. 2. Air blown out from mouth contains carbon dioxide. 6. Observe the change carefully.
Check Yourself Observation
Mixture appears frothy because bubbles of gas that have 1. Define anaerobic respiration. passed into lime water turns it milky after sometime. Also Ans It is defined as the process of breakdown of glucose in the on removing the cork of large test tube, smell of alcohol absence of oxygen to release small amount of energy. Occurs evolve out. in microorganisms like bacteria and yeast. 2. Name the gas that is exhaled out during respiration. Oil layer Ans Carbon dioxide is the gas that is exhaled out during the Yeast in glucose process of respiration. solution Lime water 3. ATP is known as the energy currency of the cell. Why? Alcoholic fermentation produces carbon dioxide Ans ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is known as the energy currency of the cell because energy is stored in the cell in the 162
Conclusion Yeast brings about alcoholic fermentation, that ACTIVITY 3 (NCERT Pg 103)

Aim dioxide. To show that the rate of breathing is higher in aquatic organisms than in terrestrial organisms. Check Yourself Rakers 1. Write the equation of the reaction, taking Gill arch place in the given activity. Absence of oxygen Gill filaments Ans C6H12O6 → 2C2H5 OH + 2CO2 in yeast (Ethanol) (Glucose) (Carbon dioxide)
2. A drop of oil was poured during the activity
over the mixture of glucose in test tube. Why? Gill respiration in fish Ans To exclude the air (oxygen), oil drop was poured over the mixture in a large test tube. Materials Required 3. What was observed after two hours of the A fish in an aquarium. experiment? Procedure Ans After two hours, water level was raised in the bent tube placed in the beaker. Count the number of times the fish opens and closes its mouth in a minute and compare this number with your breathing rate. 4. Another experimental set-up is given below to demonstrate that carbon dioxide is given out Observation during respiration in germinating seeds. Can The rate of breathing in fish is much higher and faster than human you deduce out the logic of using KOH in this beings. experiment? CCE 2015 Conclusion Glass tube Rate of breathing is higher in aquatic animals. Cork Thread Test tube Check Yourself Beaker KOH solution Water 1. Name two organisms, which breathe through their skin. Germinating seeds Ans Frog and earthworm are the two animals which breathe through their skin. This type of respiration is called as cutaneous respiration. Ans KOH was used in this experiment because it 2. What is the role of gills in fishes? How do they function? absorbs carbon dioxide produced by the seeds Ans Gills are the respiratory organ in fishes. They function to take in oxygen and creates partial vacuum in the flask. from water and in removal of carbon dioxide. 5. Which type of respiration is occurring in the 3. Name an aquatic animal, which respire through lungs. experimental set-up studied? Ans Whale is an aquatic animal, which respire through lungs. It comes on the Ans Anaerobic respiration as the supply of oxygen surface of water to take in oxygen from air and to give out carbon dioxide. was cut-off. 4. Name an organism which respires through both skin and lungs. Ans Frog respires through both skin and lungs.
