A person put warm water in an aquarium, thinking that the all the fishes would be more comfortable in it. However, the fish died. What can be the reason for this?

Which of the following correctly represents the approximate composition of exhaled air by humans?

Read the given paragraph.
Sometimes, during strenuous activity such as long-distance running, your body cannot get enough (i) to produce the required energy. To get the additional energy, (ii) respiration occurs within your muscle cells. In this process, there is partial breakdown of (iii) to produce (iv), the accumulation of which in the body causes (v). Complete the above paragraph by selecting the correct sequence of words.

The given figure illustrates the changes in lung volume during the process of breathing.

The change from $\mathrm{Q}$ to Rindicates the

Study the given flow chart about respiratory structures in different organisms. Identify the organisms P, Q, R, S, and select the correct option.

Three test tubes are set-up as shown. The indicator used here changes from red to yellow when exposed to increased levels of carbon dioxide. At the start of the experiment, the indicator in each test tube was red.

What will be the colour of the indicator in each test tube after two hours?

The given diagram shows a respirometer that is used to measure gaseous exchange in gram seeds. The apparatus is maintained at a constant temperature.

Which of the following is correct regarding it?
(i) The gas pressure in $\mathrm{X}$ will fall as ${\mathrm{O}}_2$ is absorbed during respiration and ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ is absorbed by potassium hydroxide solution.
(ii) The fluid level at $\mathrm{Y}$ will fall to compensates the loss of pressure in $\mathrm{X}$.
(iii) The gas pressure in $\mathrm{X}$ will rise as ${\mathrm{O}}_2$ is given out by seeds and ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ is released by potassium hydroxide solution.
(iv) The fluid level at $\mathrm{Z}$ will rise due to loss of pressure in $\mathrm{X}$.

Rohan set-up an experiment as shown in the figure. What will he observe after sometime?
