The graph shows the effect of temperature on the rate of carbon dioxide (CO2) production in place of cells as a result of cellular respiration.

Question

Based on the graph, select from the dorp=down menus to correctly complete the statements.

When temperature increases, the rate at which glucose is used by cells is expected to 1.____

When temperature decreases, the rate of ATP production by cells is expected to 2.____

1:
a. decrease
b. increase
c. stay the same

2:
a. decrease
b. increase
c. stay the same

Answer 1

Based on the context provided regarding the effects of temperature on cellular respiration and the production of carbon dioxide (CO2), here are the likely answers:

1. When temperature increases, the rate at which glucose is used by cells is expected to b. increase.

2. When temperature decreases, the rate of ATP production by cells is expected to a. decrease.

So the selected answers would be:

1: b. increase
2: a. decrease
