6 Data Analysis: Variables affecting the rate of cell respiration
The graph below shows data collected from a respirometer that was set up at different temperatures for
germinating and non-germinating peas.
a. State which group had the lowest rate of respiration.
b. Describe how rate of respiration varies between germinating and non-germinating peas.
c. Describe how the rate of respiration varies with temperature.
d. For germinating peas at 22 degrees C, calculate:
i. Percent change in volume of oxygen consumed
ii. Rate of respiration
