Give Students the Tools to Visualize Photosynthesis and Cell Respiration
The understanding of photosynthesis and cellular respiration is fundamental in establishing a foundation in biology. To increase comprehension of these concepts, it's essential for students to visualize the data collected for each gas simultaneously. Using our Go Direct® CO2 Gas and Go Direct® O2 Gas sensors together makes this possible.
Go Direct CO2 Gas Sensor
Easily monitor changes in carbon dioxide, temperature, and relative humidity
The Go Direct CO2 Gas Sensor measures gaseous carbon dioxide concentration levels, temperature, and relative humidity. This sensor includes built-in temperature compensation and humidity protection. A 250 mL Nalgene® bottle is included for running controlled experiments with small plants and animals. This sensor can be used in a variety of biology experiments and connects via Bluetooth® wireless technology or via USB to your device.
GDX-CO2 $225
Hands-on learning opportunities include
- Measure the change in gas concentration during cellular respiration.
- Measure the change in gas concentration during photosynthesis.
- Study the effect of temperature on cell respiration or metabolism of organisms.
- Investigate artificial selection in yeast by comparing respiration rates of different strains.
Go Direct O2 Gas Sensor
Measure gaseous oxygen concentration and air temperature
The Go Direct O2 Gas Sensor measures gaseous oxygen concentration levels and air temperature, and it is useful for a variety of biology and physiology experiments. This sensor has a wide measurement range, which is ideal for studying human and cellular respiration. A 250 mL Nalgene® bottle is included for running controlled experiments with small plants and animals. This sensor connects via Bluetooth® wireless technology or via USB to your device.
GDX-O2 $209
Hands-on learning opportunities include
- Test catalase activity under various conditions.
- Measure oxygen consumption at rest and after exercise.
- Measure the change in gas produced during photosynthesis.
- Compare the rates of cell respiration in germinating and non-germinating peas.
