4 A student investigated the rate of oxygen uptake during aerobic respiration in woodlice. Woodlice
are arthropods.
The diagram shows the apparatus the student used. Soda lime absorbs carbon dioxide.
When the tap is closed air cannot move into or out of the apparatus. The coloured liquid moves
when the tap is closed.
