Measurements of plant and animal metabolism in lab classrooms can often be financially prohibitive due to the high cost of research-grade respirometry equipment. As such, lab exercises that focus on photosynthesis or cellular respiration often use indirect or overly simplistic methods (e.g., floating leaf disks or air bubbles in syringes), rather than incorporating whole, living plants and animals, especially in introductory lab courses.
