Elodea uses energy and cellular respiration to produce O2, No cellular respiration occurring, Elodea
and snail produce O2 using cellular respiration
Less O2 due to elodea cellular respiration that is also using CO2 in photosynthesis, More CO2 due to
snail cellular respiration, balance of CO2 and O2 dur to elodea and snail presence
Elodea uses energy and cellular respiration to produce O2, no cellular respiration occurring, cellular
respiration that produces more CO2 than O2
Less O2 due to elodea cellular respiration that is also using CO2 in photosynthesis, More CO2 due
to snail cellular respiration, Some CO2 present due to cellular respiration by both organisms but
photosynthesis by elodea using CO2
