we will learned the effects of temperature on goldfish respiration. This experiment will be conducted with four students ‚ one goldfish‚ thermometer‚ a stop watch‚ and a beaker. Our results showed that the fish temperature increased and the fish breathing slowed down. Introduction Organisms have specialized structures to carry out respiration. In fish‚ the gills can be found beneath a protective covering called the operculum. The gills are made of gill filaments‚ which serve to increase the surface
