To do the experiment, we require:

Real Lab Procedure

Using a spatula, place about 30 germinating bean seeds in a conical flask.
Pour 4ml of potassium hydroxide solution into a measuring cylinder.
Transfer the potassium hydroxide solution from the measuring cylinder into a small test tube.
Tie a cotton thread around the neck of the test tube.
Suspend the test tube in the conical flask above the germinating seeds.
Close the mouth of the conical flask with a cork.
Insert one end of a delivery tube into the conical flask through the cork and dip the other in a beaker containing water.
Observe the position of the water level in the delivery tube. This is the initial reading of the water level in the delivery tube.
Use your finger to take some petroleum jelly.
Apply the petroleum jelly on the cork to make the apparatus air tight.
Keep the apparatus undisturbed for two hours.
Repeat the same procedure for the groundnut and wheat.

Simulator Procedure (as performed through the Online Labs)

To change the type of seed, select from the drop down list, ‘Select the seeds’.
You can increase or decrease the number of seeds inside the beaker by moving the ‘Number of seeds’ slider accordingly.
Increase or decrease the temperature using the slider, ‘Temperature’.
Click on the ‘Start’ button to begin the experiment.
You can observe that the level of water rises in the delivery tube dipped in the beaker.
A timer is shown. Wait till the timer stops.
Measure the rise of water level in the delivery tube and enter the values in the test box, ‘Rising level of water (ml):’ on the left pane.
Click on the submit button to verify your result.
Click on the information icon to see the inference.
You can redo the experiment by clicking on the ‘Reset’ button.

Observation

After two hours, you will see that the level of water has risen in the delivery tube at the end dipped in the beaker of water. Note this level as the final level.

Conclusion

The rise in water level at the end of the delivery tube dipped in the beaker proves that germinating seeds release carbon dioxide during respiration. In the case of groundnut and bean seeds, the rise in water level is relatively lesser because these seeds use fat and proteins as respiratory substrate and release a very small amount of carbon dioxide.
But in the case wheat grains, the rise in water level is greater because they use carbohydrate as respiratory substrate. When carbohydrates are used as substrate, equal amounts of carbon dioxide and oxygen are evolved and consumed.

Precautions

Ensure all connections are airtight.
Use a freshly prepared concentrated solution of potassium hydroxide.
