See how to use a CO 2 and O 2 Gas Sensor to measure the concentrations of gas during cell respiration of peas. This lab is suitable for AP biology as well as general biology.he. Gas Sensor measures gaseous carbon dioxide in two rangesâ 0 to 10,000 ppm and 0 to 100,000 ppm.
usage: The extended sense of decimate, âto destroy a great number or proportion of,â developed in the 19th century. Because the etymological sense of one-tenth remains to some extent, decimate is not ordinarily used with figures: Drought has destroyed (not decimated) 80 percent of the herd.
Usage notes. Senses of decimate other than to reduce by one in ten are occasionally proscribed but to devastate has now become the more common usage. The sense to reduce to one in ten is etymologically unsound and omitted by the OED but increasingly common.
