Question

Which of the following statements is correct with respect to the effect of temperature an rate of respiration?

• A. Rate of respiration increases with an increase in temperature from $0^o$C to ${30}^o$C
• B. Rate of respiration doubles for every ${10}^o$ rise in temperature, thus temperature co-efficient $\left(Q_{10}\right)$ for respiration is $2$.
• C. At very high temperatures such as ${50}^o$ or more, rate of respiration decreases due to enzymatic degradtion
• D. All of these.

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of these.

Respiration is the process during which simple carbohydrates, like glucose, breaks down into simpler substances and liberate carbon dioxide and energy, all the statements are correct with respect to the rate of respiration.

So, the correct option is 'All of these.'
