Analysis And Conclusion For Cellular Respiration Lab

Analysis: In this lab we measured the rate of respiration of germinating mung beans and germinating peas at room temperature and 10 degrees Celsius. The rates of respiration at room temperature were higher than the rates of respiration in cold water. The reaction rate of the germinating peas at room temperature was .0125 ml/min and the reaction rate of the peas at 10 degrees Celsius was .0095 ml/min. The same is true for the germinating mung beans. At room temperature the rate of reaction was .0105 ml/min and at 10 degrees Celsius the rate was .0033ml/min. In the graphs the amount of oxygen consumed increased at a constant rate for room temperature. For cold water the graph started out increasing and then after 10 minutes both the mung beans and the peas either leveled out or decreased. The amount of oxygen consumed at 15 and 20 minutes was .19 ml for the peas. The amount of oxygen consumed by the mung beans at 15 minutes decreased from .095ml to .075ml and at 20 minutes it decreased to .065 ml. The germinating peas increased at a higher rate than the mung beans, but the rates of respiration were similar because the difference between the rates was .002 ml/min at room temperature. At 10 degrees the rate of respiration for the germinating peas was .0062 ml/min higher than the rate of respiration for the germinating mung beans. Our data was similar to other group’s data at room temperature because they all showed similar trends so any group’s data will reflect the same trends shown by other group’s data so that is why I used our data. For the cold temperature data I used group 8 data because it showed consistency in the rates of respiration for the germinating mung beans and peas. For example in group 2’s data the rate of respiration is positive for the peas and negative for the mung beans and vice versa for group 6. Group 4 had no rate of respiration for the peas but a high rate of respiration for the mung beans. Only group 8 showed the same trends for both the
