Question

As peas, beans, and seeds begin to sprout and grow in the process that is called germination, carbon dioxide is produced during respiration. Look at the table of data that were collected during an experiment that measured cellular respiration. What is the best conclusion?

a. The rate of cellular respiration in germinating peas is exactly 1,000 times the rate of ATP production.
b. Germinating peas at 10ºC create carbon dioxide during ATP production at a rate of 0.01 mL/min.
c. Germinating peas at 20ºC have a higher rate of cellular respiration than germinating peas at 10ºC.
d. The rate of cellular respiration cannot be measured without knowing the rate of ATP production.

Answer 1

I think you forgot to attach the table along with the question. I am answering the question based on my knowledge and research. "Germinating peas at 20ºC have a higher rate of cellular respiration than germinating peas at 10ºC" is the best conclusion. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is option "C".
