The below mentioned article includes a collection of top ten experiments on respiration in plants. 1. Experiment to demonstrate the utility of oxygen in respiration: Requirements: A conical flask, a bent tube, germinating seeds, caustic potash in a small container, a mercury dish. Method: Germinating seeds are taken in a conical flask in which a container of caustic potash is [...]

Let us make an in-depth study of the cyanide resistant respiration and physiological significance of cyanide resistant respiration. The flow of electrons in the usual mitochondrial electron transport chain (in both animals and plants) during aerobic respiration is blocked by the presence of cyanides which inhibit the activity of cytochrome oxidase. This type of respiration is therefore, known as cyanide [...]
