Cellular Respiration with LabQuest
Question: How does the length of germination time effect the rate of CO2 production in alaska peas?
Independent Variable: Germination Time (Un-germinated, 24 Hours, 48 Hours)
Dependent Variable: CO2 Production
Question: How does rate of CO2 production compare between Soy Beans, Mung Beans, and Alaska peas?
Independent Variable: Type of pea/bean (Soy Beans, Mung Beans, Alaska Peas)
Dependent Variable: CO2 Production
Question: How does rate of CO2 production compare between equivalent masses of Crickets and Alaska Peas?
Independent Variable: Organism (Crickets, Alaska Peas)
Dependent Variable: CO2 Production
In order to determine the respiration rate for each of the variables tested above, we must calculate the line of best fit for each dataset.
Recall, a linear equation has the form Y = mx + b
| Condition | Respiration Rate (CO2 ppm/second) |
| Un-germinated Alaska Peas | -0.008142835141 |
| 24 Hour Germinated Alaska Peas | 0.400294823 |
| 48 Hour Germinated Alaska Peas | 0.3947037469 |
| 24 Hour Germinated Mung Beans | 0.3296257508 |
| 24 Hour Germinated Soy Beans | 0.3539077248 |
| Crickets | 1.477949 |
