Simple Respirometer

This simple respirometer apparatus is designed to compare the rate of gas absorption or evolution in small organisms and microorganisms, such as insects, germinating seeds, or yeast. It provides a clear, practical way to investigate respiration in NCEA biology courses.

Key Features

• Apparatus for measuring oxygen uptake or carbon dioxide evolution
• Suitable for small invertebrates, seeds, and yeast cultures
• Ideal for demonstrating the effect of temperature and other factors on respiration rate
• Simple design suited to classroom investigations and student-led experiments

Specifications

• Application: Measurement of respiration and gas exchange
• Suitable Organisms: Insects, small organisms, seeds, yeast
• Type: Simple respirometer apparatus
