During this lab we used an abundance of previously learned knowledge to complete this lab. Key concepts and ideas are: What is cellular respiration and photosynthesis are, how germination works, and the candle in water experiment. First, cellular respiration is the process in which food is broken down for energy or as building blocks. Photolysis is the exact opposite of cellular respiration, because it turns the building blocks into glucose and oxygen. Germination is the process where the seed use water is taken up by the dry seed and actives enzymes inside of the seed which starts the growth. The most critical concept comes from the candle in water experiment where a candle is placed surrounded by water. Then a cup is placed around the candle.
