How temperature will affect the respiration of an organism. Kathryn Hinchcliffe. Aim: The respiratory rate of an organism is usually the same as the rate of aerobic respiration, which takes place within the body tissue. The chemical equation for this is can be shown as, C6H12O6 + 602 6CO2 + 6H2O. I will be estimating the respiratory rates of the organisms using a respirometer and express me results by the amount of oxygen used up in a given time by 1 gram of the tissue held at a constant temperature. Hypothesis: I expect the rate of respiration of the organisms to increase as temperature increases. Prediction: Respiration, is a process by which an organism exchanges gases with its environment. The term now refers to the overall process by which oxygen is abstracted from air and is transported to the cells for the oxidation of organic molecules while carbon dioxide and water, the products of oxidation,...
