this experiment was to determine if splitting a bean would affect its rate of respiration. Splitting a bean does not impact its rate of respiration. This is shown in the data‚ while the average rate of respiration for Whole beans is 1.35 and the rate of respiration for 1.16‚ the standard error of the mean is .15. Because the standard error of the mean is so high‚ they overlap in both of the data sets‚ which shows that the data is very similar. This is better shown in the graph‚ which has error bars
