Simple Prediction I predict that as I raise the temperature of the maggots, the rate of respiration will increase. I think this because respiration is an enzyme-dependant process of reactions. Increasing the temperature will give the enzymes and substrates more kinetic energy and therefore will increase the rate of respiration. This is explained in further detail later on. Method 1. Using a syringe filled with manometer fluid, I will half fill a manometer. 2. I will then attach a 3-way tap to one of the delivery tubes on the bung and to this tap I will attach a syringe. 3.
