Based on the typical effects of temperature on cellular respiration, the statements can be completed as follows:

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

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

This is because higher temperatures generally enhance the rate of biochemical reactions up to a certain point, while lower temperatures slow down those reactions.
