Kit for Demonstrating Seed Respiration in Germination Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Kit for Demonstrating Seed Respiration in Germination (Product Code: SCL219/010) is a plant physiology kit for showing students that seeds become metabolically active as they germinate and begin to respire, taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide and heat. It gives biology teachers a hands-on way to connect the germination topic with cellular respiration, and it fits well as a seed germination kit for school labs. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Key Details

Typical Use

In the classic form of this experiment, soaked seeds that have just begun to sprout are placed in a closed container and compared with a control of boiled seeds. Students then look for signs that only the living seeds are respiring: carbon dioxide turning an indicator such as lime water milky, a rise in temperature, or a drop in the volume of air as oxygen is used.

Pulses, wheat or maize seeds soaked overnight usually give reliable results, and keeping both containers at the same room temperature makes the comparison fair. The lesson also works as a plant growth experiment kit activity for project work, with students recording observations over several days. Because this listing does not state the component list, please ask us what is included so you can plan any extra glassware or indicator solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which components are in the seed respiration kit?
This page does not publish the component list. Ask us through the contact page and we will share it with the quotation.

Which seeds work well for this demonstration?
Seeds that germinate quickly, such as pulses, wheat or maize, soaked overnight and allowed to begin sprouting.

Why are boiled seeds used as a control?
Boiling kills the seeds, so any difference between living and boiled seeds shows that the carbon dioxide and heat come from respiration rather than from the surroundings.

Is an indicator solution supplied?
Please confirm this when you ask for the component list. Lime Water can be ordered separately if needed.

How does this kit differ from the CO2 and heat production kit?
That kit is listed with its full contents: flasks, a thermometer, baryta water and an aspiration pump. For this kit, ask us for the component list so you can compare the two.

Can we order for several schools or for export?
Yes. We handle multi-school and project orders and supply India and international markets.
