CAIE IGCSE Biology 12.1.2 Effect of temperature on respiration
Practise using yeast, seed and respirometer evidence to describe how temperature changes respiration rate and to calculate gas uptake or release.
How this is tested
- calculate respiration rate from oxygen uptake, CO2 output or graph gradients
- predict how temperature changes bubble movement or gas production in respirometers
- explain low respiration rates using enzyme activity and fewer effective collisions
