For millions of years scientists have been puzzled over cells. Scientists have believed that the more energy you do the more cell respiration is needed to supply energy. My question though, is has that been tested with different temperatures? Does temperature affect the amount of cell respiration in a cell?
What I thought would occur is that you would need more heat made if you are in a colder climate. I supported this because I know that the body gives off heat. If your body is giving off heat you need to make more to replace it and also extra to keep your body heated in a colder area. With the evidence I collected from the book previous to this experiment I thought me hypothesis was supported.
Procedures
In this experiment our control was a flask filled with 100mls of spring water with five drops of phenol thaylene and two drops of sodium hydroxide. The first step we took in doing our experiment was getting our materials, which were tow flasks, a two straws, a dropper of phenol thaylene and sodium hydroxide. We then had two test subjects stand outside for a time of tow minutes. We then had the blow out through the straw into the flask containing the 100mls of water and phenol thaylene.
They did this for approximately ten seconds. Immediately after this we stared to drop sodium hydroxide into the flasks. However many drops it took the flasks to turn the same shade pink as the control we put onto the data table. We then took the other two test subjects and put two sweatshirts on them and made them stand in a heated room for two minutes. We then repeated the process with the flasks. After we got the information on the data sheet we then averaged out the numbers and put them in the graph form, which was measured in the amount of drops of sodium hydroxide was put in.
