Germinating Peas

Overall findings of the project included different respiration rates amongst the different organisms in different environments. The graphs report that the CO2 levels had a positive and linear correlation between respiration and time in most of the organisms in different environments. The O2 levels fluctuated all through for each experiment, but there was an overall decrease in ppm value. The results were consistent with the hypothesis of germinating peas because the germinating peas at room temperature had higher CO2 and O2 respiration rates than non-germinated peas at room temperature, except that the germinating peas at a cool temperature had lower rate of respiration then the dormant/non-germinating peas. The hypothesis of the worms was
also correct except for that random outlier dip reading of oxygen steadily lowering then rising back up. The rate of respiration in leaves did not support the hypothesis at all because the CO2 and O2 of the leaves in dark and light remained steady on a linear path the whole way except for the random uprise of O2 towards the end of the experiment in leaves in darkness.
