Which of the following statements about the aerobic respiration experiment is false?
A. We determined the respiratory quotient of peas to be somewhere between 0.7 and 1.0
B. We used an empty test tube with no peas to control for atmospheric pressure or temperature changes (thermobarometer)
C. If the peas were composed solely of carbohydrates, the test tube with sulfuric acid would experience little to no volume change
D. The majority of the volume change in the tube with sodium hydroxide was due to the carbon dioxide consumed
Answer:D
