ABSTRACT Students in a Biology 1 lab class constructed an experiment on Cellular Respiration by investigating the effects of temperature on crickets’ metabolic rate. By following the following procedures out of the Lab Manual, the students were able to find an almost accurate representation of the crickets’ cellular respiration rate under various temperatures in order to produce CO2. The crickets used in the experiment provided a prime example of how ectothermic critters use heat as their source of energy to metabolize their food.

Logically what should happen as the temperature increases, the molecules would have more movement and activity. As the temperature decreases the molecules would have less movement and a decrease in activity. Therefore, a logical prediction would be that the change in the cellular activity which would indicate the change in temperature. The students’ biology book’s definition of ectothermic is “referring to organisms for which external sources provide most of the heat for temperature regulation.”(Campbell, 2011) So in other words, these crickets use the sun for their external source of energy instead of breaking down food with their …show more content…
