1(B) (I)OBSERVATION
 MV (From table)
 RV (from table)

 with value ( must have unit)

 Final length of air column after treatment with

KOH for cycling is 6.2 cm

 Final length of air column after treatment with

KOH for Running is 5.7 cm
1B(II) INFERENCE
 At OMV1, ORV 1 is highest/lowest/more/less
 BECAUSE AMV ………
 SO ARV ………..

 Length of air column after treatment with KOH is shortest for running because it is more
vigorous, so percentage of CO2 in exhale air is high
1(C) STATE VARIABLES

Variable Ways of handling the variables

Manipulated:
Types of vigorous activity Use different types of vigorous activity

Responding:
Length of air column after Measure and record the length of air
treatment with KOH column after treatment with KOH
use a metre ruler

OR Percentage of carbon Calculating the percentage of carbon

dioxide dioxide using the formula
ROG =
1(C) STATE VARIABLES

Variable Ways of handling the variables

Fixed variable:
Duration for activity Fix the time for each activitywhich
OR is 20 minutes

Initial length of air column

OR Fix the initial length of air column
which is 6.4 cm
1(D) HYPOTHESIS

 MV + RV = Relationship

MV = Qualitative ( running/swimming/cycling)
RV = Length of air colum after treatment with KOH
Relationship = Higher/lower than……

 Running has the shortest length of air column

after treatment with KOH compare to
swimming and cycling

1(F) GENERATE THE
RELATIONSHIP FROM DATA
- Hypothesis
- Because AMV
- So ARV
- Running activity has the highest percentage of CO2 release
- Because running is active activity/more vigorous activity
- So respiration process in the cell increase
1(H) PREDICTION

P1 = correct prediction with value

E1 = Reason
E2 = Effect
Percentage of CO2 release increase more than 10.93%
Because mare duration to do activities
So percentage CO2 content in exhale air increase
1(G) DEFINITION OPERATIONAL
-Theory
-Shown by RV + CV
- Affected by MV

- Exhale air content CO2 gas. Shown by the final length of

air column after treatment with KOH
- Affected by different types of vigourus activity

-MV
-RV
-Relationship between the variables in a question
form ??
Does inhaled air contain more oxygen and less carbon
dioxide than exhaled air?
HYPOTHESIS

MV RV

Inhaled air contains more oxygen and less carbon

dioxide than exhaled air .
Variables
MV : type of air sample(inhaled or exhaled air)
RV : percentage of oxygen and carbon dioxide in
inhaled and exhaled air
CV : length of air used
APPARATUS/MATERIAL

Potassium hydroxide
solution,pottassium pyrogallate
solution,water,J-tube,
ruler,beaker,boiling tube,basin/water

1. Turn the screw of the J-Tube until the end
2. Dip the end of the J-Tube in water.Draw into the tube
about 5cm of water
3. Remove the J-Tube from the water.Draw into the tube
about 10cm of air(inhaled air)
4. Dip the open end of J-Tube into the water again .Draw
in a little more water (to seal the air column)
5. Adjust the screw so that air column is sin the middle
of the J-Tube
6. Immerse the J-Tube into the water bath for 2
minutes ,to stabilize the temperature of air sample
7. Measure the length of air column using a ruler .Record
the measurement as P cm
8. Expel some of the water in the J-tube leaving about 2-
3mm from the end of the tu
9. Dip the open end of the J-Tube into the potassium
hydroxide and draw in about 2-3cm of the
solution(potassium hydroxide absorbs carbon dioxide
from the air column)
10. Remove the test tube from the solution and move the air
column to and fro several times
11. Repeat step 6 and 7 .Record the length of air column as
q cm
12. Expel the potassium hydroxide solution leaving about 2-
3 mm from the end of the tube
13. Repeat step 9 using potassium pyrogallate solution (potassium
pyrogallate absorbs oxygen from the air column)
14. Repeat steps 6 and 7 .Record the length of the air column as r cm
15. Based on the results ,calculate the percentage of carbon dioxide
and oxygen in the sample of inhaled air column using formula
16. Repeat steps 1 -17 using a sample of exhaled air
17. Compare the percentage of carbon dioxide in inhaled and exhaled
air
18. Compare the percentage of oxygen in inhaled and exhaled air
