Hi Nancy & All,
I admit not having wondered about this but I think he makes a simple=
=20
process complicated. The air pockets to which he refers are presumably=20
intercellular spaces which in the absence of photosynthesis presumably=20
can become water filled. Starch has a specific gravity of 1.5 g/mL and,=20
in cooler weather starch will accumulate when respiration slows more=20
than photosynthesis and the submarine will sink. With warming, growth=20
resumes, respiration and starch consumption rates increase and the=20
submarine rises.
