question 11

Multiple Choice

Scenario
To study the effect of ambient (environmental) temperature on the metabolic rate of animals, a scientist takes a small animal and puts it in a sealed chamber with oxygen. The scientist measures the amount of oxygen used by the animal at different temperatures, as oxygen is consumed during the process of cellular respiration. The temperatures selected are those that the animal normally encounters in nature. The data from this experiment are in the table below.

-To communicate the results of the experiment best, how should the scientist graph the data?

• A)Use a bar graph with oxygen consumption on the x-axis and temperature on the y-axis.
• B)Use a line graph with day on the x-axis and temperature on the y-axis.
• C)Use a line graph with temperature on the x-axis and oxygen consumption on the y-axis.
• D)Use a bar graph with temperature on the x-axis and oxygen consumption on the y-axis.
