Imagine that you are given 25 germinating pea seeds that have been placed in boiling water for five minutes. you place these seeds in a respirometer and collect data. predict the rate of oxygen consumption (i. e., cellular respiration) for these seeds and explain your reasons.

There will be no cellular respiration in the respirometer. Reason being all the enzymes and proteins which are known for cellular respiration for the germinating seeds they have denatured fully, after they are being exposed into boiling water.

The peas will be very cooked. If temperature increases, the oxygen will also increase. If the temperature increases further, then the cellular respiration rate in peas decreases because the temperature becomes very high and the peas will be denatured.

and after water is usually warmed by the sun the water temperature raises and then evaporates .
