Callie did a lab during which she investigated the difference in cellular respiration rates between two different types of corn: germinating and non-germinating. A germinating seed is one from which a plant has started to grow. A non-germinating seed is usually dry and a new plant has not yet emerged. The data that she gathered are displayed in the graph.
Which of the following statements are true concerning the data that Callie gathered during the lab? Choose the two that apply.
Graph has a horizontal label of time and a vertical label of mL of oxygen consumed. The germinating corn seed line extends from 0-1.6 at the far end of the graph. The non-germinating corn seed line extends from 0-0.2.
A. The germinating corn seed consumed more oxygen than the non-germinating corn seed.
B. The non-germinating corn seed produced more carbon dioxide than the germinating corn seed.
C. The non-germinating corn seed performed more cellular respiration than the germinating corn seed
D. The germinating corn seed produced more energy than the non-germinating corn seed.
E. The non-germinating corn seed performed cellular respiration and the germinating corn seed performed fermentation.
