Best Answer

The temperature of the water can affect the amount of available oxygen for the fish. In a warmer temperature, the oxygen tends to be lower (and even more so if there is algae), thus their breathing rate tends to be higher. In cooler water, there is more oxygen than warmer, and for the most part, their breathing rate tends to be more shallow.

The temperature of the water does. The higher the temperature, the less oxygen it can dissolve.

How is a fish respiration rate affected by temperature?

If temperature falls, then the goldfish will take fewer breaths because it doesn't need the oxygen to run the functions of the body.


Why does cold water affect goldfish respiration?

The cold water causes an increase in oxygen, in the water, which makes it easier for the fish to breathe.


Does temperature affect breathing of chick peas?

You probably mean "respiration" instead of "breathing". Chick peas don't breath. Increasing the temperature increases the respiration rate and decreasing temperatures decrease the respiration rate.

What factors affect the process of cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

Temperature, pH, and the availability of "fuel". Actually, the chief real-life controller of cellular respiration is the metabolic work that the cell happens to be performing.


What is the affect of temperature on cellular respiration?

Usually, the higher the temperature the faster enzymes react and the quicker a reaction moves forward, however, if the temperature gets too hot, it can denature the proteins involved in the reaction.
