Mealworms Lab Report
Results:
The mealworms that were in the room temperature water have a higher cellular respiration rate than the mealworms in the cold water. This is because while they are in the cold water, the mealworm’s body slows down which decreases the amount of CO2 that is being produced. Unlike the mealworms in room temperature water, their cellular respiration was higher because their body temperature remained the same creating CO2 at a faster rate. Since there were two different controlled groups, there are two average slopes. The average room temperature slope is 0.0157, while the average cold slope is 0.0042.
Discussion:
The data that was taken during the experiment seemed to be correct due to another group getting the same results of there being
