What reading level is A Chemical Sign of Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The seed thus stimu- lated showed a marked acceleration of its respiration. If two apparently living kernels of wheat are taken and one of them is crushed and their carbon dioxide produc- tion is compared in the biometer, the crushed one always produces more carbon dioxide than the normal one. That this is a vital response is shown by the fact that only living seeds behave in this way. If one takes two kernels of any similar seed, which have been killed in an elec- trical oven heated to 60 C. ,... and one of them is crushed, there is no difference in the carbon dioxide output of the two seeds. The difference in amount of carbon dioxide produced by crushing cannot be observed in dead seeds or in anesthetized seeds. In this respect a seed and a nerve are alike; the chemical signs of irritability are identical. Both, as long as they are alive, respond to a mechanical stimulation by producing more carbon dioxide.
CHEMICAL SIGNS OF LIFE 91 Is an injury a stimulation? Are we justified in regarding the increase of carbon dioxide following injury by crushing as in the same category as the increase of carbon dioxide production by ordinary stimulation?
