What did people you guys put for the question which asked....Why does do the soaked seeds have a higher rate of respiration than the dry pea seeds???
My mind started thinking about chemistry tomorrow, and so I said that the water molecules in the soaked seeds could dissociate therefore releasing hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms. The hydrogen atoms can be used in chemiosmosis and the oxygen atoms can be used as the final electron acceptor therefore the rate of the oxidative phosphorylation increases and overall rate of respiration increases.
I just made a complete random guess which sounded fairly logical...though some of my classmates said that the soaked seeds were germinating and the dry seeds were dormant and so therefore the soaked seeds needed more ATP for mitosis and so the rate of respiration was higher. Though i dont remember the question stating that one was dormant and the other was germinating.
So yeah...what did people put???? Think I may have lost marks there if the mark scheme states that you have to be specific.
