\n(3) To absorb water from the seeds to make them dry.
\n(4) To make the air present in the flask alkaline.
\nAnswer:
\nKOH is placed in the small tube to absorb carbon dioxide and create partial vacuum in the flask. This absorption of CO2<\/sub> by KOH creates partial vacuum in the flask resulting in increase in the water level in the bent tube.
\nHence, the correct answer is option 2.<\/p>\nQuestion 34.
\nWhich one of the following is the correct set of three precautions for setting up the experiment to demonstrate that carbon dioxide is evolved during respiration?
\n(1) Air tight set up; delivery tube dips in water in beaker; flask has seeds which have just germinated.
\n(2) Thread holding KOH test tube; air tight flask; delivery tube above surface of water in the beaker.
\n(3) Germinated seeds under water in the flask; experimental set up not air tight; delivery tube above water level.
\n(4) Delivery tube touching bottom of water; KOH test tube held by a thick wire; seeds covered by water.
\nAnswer:
\nThe precautions which should be taken –
\nAir tight set up – an air tight set up is required, so that the CO2<\/sub> produced during respiration does not escape out
\nDelivery tube dips in water in beaker – the delivery tube needs to touch the water, so that the water can rise in the tube when partial vacuum is created in the flask.
\nFlask has seeds which have just germinated – germinated seeds will produce CO2<\/sub> during the experiment which is an important requirement for this experiment.
\nHence, the correct answer is option 1.<\/p>\nQuestion 35.
\nThe experimental set up shown here to demonstrate that \u2018CO2<\/sub> is given out during respiration\u2019, did not yield expected results because .
\n![\"Lakhmir](\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.cbselabs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Lakhmir-Singh-Biology-Class-10-Solutions-Multiple-Choice-Questions-MCQs-10.png?resize=266%2C223&ssl=1\")
