Respiratory rate is indeed a function of temperature. Insects are generally ectothermic and as such rely upon external heat sources; mice are endothermic and have more developed mechanisms to regulate and maintain higher body temperature in the cold.

Note that some insects are capable of regulating temperature in colder weather by behavioral or other physiological means; some flight-capable insects, for example, use muscles to keep their thoracic segment warm before flight.

What effects does temperature have on the characteristics of magma?

The temperature of the magma will affect its viscosity depending on its chemistry. Some minerals crystallize at higher temperatures than others, meaning that portions of the magma may have already solidified. At lower temperatures, the majority of the constituent minerals will have crystallized and solidified, leaving the magma highly viscous.


What kind of pottery is made from coarse baked clay?

Various types of clay are used.Earthenware tends to have larger amount of iron oxide. It can't be fired to very high temperatures as the iron oxide would act as a flux and the pottery would sag Stoneware can be fired to higher temperatures. It is opaque and fairly waterproof when fired.Porcelain can also be fired to high temperatures, it vitrifies and becomes very hard, even glassy.There are as many variations between clays as there are bags of clay, but most fall into these categories


Is a poison dart frog a carnivore herbivore or omnivore?

Frogs are insectivores.


What clay is the most durable terra cotta or porcelain Why?

Porcelain is generally more durable than terra cotta due to its higher density and lower porosity. Porcelain is fired at higher temperatures, which makes it denser and less susceptible to chipping and cracking. In contrast, terra cotta, being more porous, is more prone to damage from moisture and temperature changes. Thus, for durability, porcelain is the superior choice.


What temperatures does kilns for ceramics operate at?

Ceramic kilns fire to many different temperatures for the various types of clay and glazes. We use pyrometric cones to determine the correct firing of items. Clays and glazes are usually designated as Low fire or High fire. Low fire cones start at 022 or approximately 1094 F and most low fire ceramics are fired at cone 06 approximately 1911 degrees F. High fire pottery is generally fired from cone 5 or 2205 F to cone 10 which is approximately 2381 degrees F. Industrial ceramics may use much higher temperatures than a hobbyist kiln.

How is anaerobic respiration affected by changes in temperature?

Anaerobic respiration can be affected by changes in temperature. In general, lower temperatures can slow down the rate of anaerobic respiration, while higher temperatures can speed it up. However, extremely high temperatures can denature enzymes involved in anaerobic respiration, leading to a decrease in its efficiency.


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.


In this activity you are investigating both the effect of germination versus non germination and warm temperature versus cold temperature on respiration rate identify two hypotheses being tested?

The hypotheses being tested are the effect on the respiration rate. In this case the two are warm temperature vs. cold temperature & germinating vs. non germinating. (temperature & germination)


Which has a higher rate of respiration Elodea or a small fresh water zebra fish?

The zebra fish will have a higher respiration rate


Which solid is the most soluble at lower temperatures than at higher temperatures?

In general, most solids are more soluble at higher temperatures than at lower temperatures. However, there are exceptions such as cerium sulfate, which follows the opposite trend and is more soluble at lower temperatures than at higher temperatures.


What is energy that flows from higher temperatures to lower temperatures?

Heat.


Thermal energy that flows from higher temperatures to lower temperatures?

heat


Do particles in matter move more quickly at lower temperatures or higher temperatures?

Particles in matter move more slowly at lower temperatures because they have less thermal energy. Conversely, particles move more quickly at higher temperatures due to the increased thermal energy they possess.


Why do temperatures get higher the closer you get to the equator?

The temperatures at the equator tend to be higher because the equator receives more direct sunlight.


Do molecules at lower temperatures move more quickly than those at higher temperature?

No, molecules at higher temperatures move more quickly than those at lower temperatures. Higher temperatures provide molecules with more kinetic energy, causing them to move faster.


Is the lower hotter for Celsius?

No, in Celsius temperature scale, lower temperatures are colder and higher temperatures are hotter.
