Question

You are looking at the effect of temperature above and below body temperature, on rate of oxygen consumption in a gerbil, as a measure of cellular respiration (breathing rate increases, remains the same or the animal may slow down rate ). The animal is studied at three temperatures: 5 C, 37 C (body temperature) and 39 C. Based on this information,
formulate a hypothesis and determine the variables, experimental and control animals?

Hypothesis:

independent variable:

Dependent variable:

Experimental animal (explain why it is the experimental):
Control animal (explain why it is the control):

Answer 1
