Based on the data table that shows the rate of carbon dioxide production in germinating peas under different temperature conditions, we can draw some conclusions about the rate of cellular respiration.
Firstly, the rate of carbon dioxide produced by germinating peas at [tex]\(10^{\circ} C\)[/tex] is [tex]\(0.01 \, \text{mL/min}\)[/tex]. For germinating peas at [tex]\(20^{\circ} C\)[/tex], the rate of carbon dioxide production is [tex]\(0.02 \, \text{mL/min}\)[/tex].
Given these rates:
1. The rate of cellular respiration in germinating peas is exactly one thousand times the rate of:
This statement is not supported by the data, as both the given rates are on a much smaller scale.
2. Germinating peas at [tex]\(10^{\circ} C\)[/tex] create carbon dioxide at a rate of [tex]\(0.01 \, \text{mL/min}\)[/tex] during ATP production:
This is a correct observation directly from the data table.
3. Germinating peas at [tex]\(20^{\circ} C\)[/tex] have a higher rate of cellular respiration than germinating peas at [tex]\(10^{\circ} C\)[/tex]:
This conclusion is correct. The data shows that at [tex]\(20^{\circ} C\)[/tex], the rate of carbon dioxide production ([tex]\(0.02 \, \text{mL/min}\)[/tex]) is higher than at [tex]\(10^{\circ} C\)[/tex] ([tex]\(0.01 \, \text{mL/min}\)[/tex]). This indicates a higher rate of cellular respiration at the higher temperature.
4. The rate of cellular respiration cannot be measured without knowing the rate of ATP production:
This is not entirely accurate. While knowing the rate of ATP production can provide additional insights, the rate of carbon dioxide production (as given in the table) is a direct measure of cellular respiration.
From the analysis above, the most accurate conclusion is:
Germinating peas at [tex]\(20^{\circ} C\)[/tex] have a higher rate of cellular respiration than germinating peas at [tex]\(10^{\circ} C\)[/tex].
