Ormus Aerobic Cellular Respiration Test OF SEA-CROP
March , 2005

THE TEST:

Cellular respiration of germinating seeds involves the oxidation of glucose according to the following reaction:

C6H12O6+6O2  ----> 6CO2 + 6H2O+energy.

Germinating corn was placed in a sealed respirometer. A 15% KOH solution  was placed in a separate compartment of the respirometer to absorb off-gassed CO2 and a water column connected to the respirometer was used to measure O2 consumption against time.

THE APPARATUS:

A stoppered 500ml vacuum flask was  used for the respirometer vessel. PVC tubing was attached to the venting tubeulation  and into the open end of the tubing a graduated pipette was placed to contain a water column.
Aerobic 

THE METHOD:

For each test 40 grains of corn were soaked in water for 24 hours. After draining, the corn was put into a large test tube that was placed into the respirometer. The untreated control was soaked in water only and the treated test was soaked in a 10% solution of Sea-Crop. In the bottom of the respirometer 150 ml of 15% KOH solution was added to absorb CO2 created by the germinating corn according to the following reaction:   CO2+2KOH  ----> K2CO3+H2O. The flask was then stoppered and the PVC tubing was partially filled with water to make a seal and bring the water level to the top of the graduated pipette.
 
After 24 hours the water column was measured in the graduated pipette to see how much it had fallen. This measurement was used to indicate the oxygen consumption of the Sea-Croptreated seeds relative to the untreated control.

The control water level had fallen by 8.5 ml and the treated water level had fallen by 18.5 ml. This indicated that oxygen had been consumed by the Sea-Croptreated sample at a rate 118% greater than by the control.

CONCLUSIONS:

1. Increased cellular respiration in the treated sample consumed more O2 than the control during the first 24 hours of germination.

2.Aerobic cellular respiration is very significantly enhanced by treatment with Sea-Crop.
