Not all inspired air reaches the alveoli; 150 ml is stopped in the airway leading to the alveoli. This is called dead air space.
Alveoli are the tiny air sacs present all over the lungs. These are supposed to increase the surface area of the lungs so as to increase the amount of inhaled air. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place through these alveoli.
Dead air space is the unventilated area where air circulation does not take place. This air is supposed to be get trapped somewhere in the respiratory pathway or it reaches an alveoli that is poorly perfused. The dead air space can be of two types: anatomical dead space and physiologic dead space.

Answer:
The correct answer is C and Engelmann conducted this experiment to prove relationship between algae and the rate of photosynthesis.
Explanation: First we must talk about 3 facts:
1) Prism scatters the white light into different wavelengths.
2) Photosynthesis, 6 carbon dioxide and 6 water molecules are consumed and 6 oxygen and 1 sugar molecule is synthesized using light energy.
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
3) Aerobic bacteria breaks down sugar while using oxygen and produces water and carbon dioxide in simplified terms.
So with this experimental setup a researcher can understand the rate of the photosynthesis by increased accumulation of aerobic bacteria near algae in certain wavelengths since they uses oxygen and tend to move close to the oxygen source (<u>see figure</u>). In this experiment there are no ways to measure heat (B), there is no known relation between wavelength of light and aerobic respiration since it can happen even in the dark (A) and finally there are no ways to measure carbon dioxide (D).
