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.

What happens to the respiration rate in goldfish when the temperature drops gradually and slowly to near freezing point?

the goldfish will then go into a coma-like state until the water heats up.


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.


What is a dependent variable for breathing rate of goldfish in cold water?

its the respiration rate of the goldfish.


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.


Why does cold water affect goldfish respiration?

Cold water affects goldfish respiration because it lowers their metabolic rate, leading to decreased oxygen consumption. This reduction in metabolic activity slows down their respiration rate as they require less oxygen to sustain their body functions in cold water. Additionally, cold water can hold more dissolved oxygen, making it easier for goldfish to extract oxygen from the water, further contributing to their decreased respiration rate.


What can be said about the effect of temperature on the cellular respiration of crickets?

Yes. Cellular respiration produces ATP, which crickets need so survive, since it is the main way energy is stored in living things. If crickets could not carry out cellular respiration, they would not be alive.

How does the size of a goldfish tank affect the growth of the goldfish?

The size of a goldfish tank can affect the growth of the goldfish. A larger tank provides more space for the goldfish to swim and grow, leading to healthier and potentially larger fish. In contrast, a smaller tank can restrict the fish's movement and growth, potentially stunting their development.


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.
