in a Biology 1 lab class constructed an experiment on Cellular Respiration by investigating the effects of temperature on crickets’ metabolic rate. By following the following procedures out of the Lab Manual‚ the students were able to find an almost accurate representation of the crickets’ cellular respiration rate under various temperatures in order to produce CO2.
