In this exercise you will be learning more about the process of aerobic respiration. This metabolic process is central to the metabolism of plants and animals. As you saw in the pre-lab exercise, changes in these metabolic processes in humans can have a significant health impact. Although it would be ideal to be able to learn about the respiration process in humans, it is not practical from an experimental perspective.undefinedundefinedWe therefore will look at other organisms as our models for understanding the respiration process. In our case, we will use both a plant and an animal model; garden peas and mealworms will be used as the experimental organisms. In the first part of the experiment, you will be using garden peas to answer two questions about respiration. You will be watch two videos that examine carbon dioxide and oxygen and their role in respiration. You will propose a hypothesis that would answer your question and then watch a video that will show you the results of your measurements
