1)The soda lime in the respirometer absorbs carbon dioxide. Explain why this is important in this investigation.
2)Fly larvae respire to release energy.
State two uses of energy in a fly larva.
1:
2:

In order to find out the rate of respiration.

Explanation:

The soda lime in the respirometer absorbs carbon dioxide gas  which is important in this investigation because we measure the rate of respiration and for measuring that we have to measure the rate of oxygen and carbondioxide so that's why soda lime absorb carbondioxide gas in the respirometer. Growth and movement are the two uses of energy in a fly larva. The energy that is produced in the fly larva is used for the growth of the body and other activities such as mobility etc.

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
