Question

To study the effect of ambient (environmental) temperature on the metabolic rate of animals, a scientist takes a small animal and puts it in a sealed chamber with oxygen. The scientist measures the amount of oxygen used by the animal at different temperatures. The temperatures selected are those that the animal normally encounters in nature. The data from this experiment are in the table below.
DayTemperature (ÂșC)Oxygen consumption [mL O2/(min g0.75)]
11043
21530
32022
42516
53016
63516
74025
84532

To communicate the results of the experiment best, how should the scientist graph the data?
A) Use a bar graph with oxygen consumption on the x-axis and temperature on the y-axis.
B) Use a line graph with day on the x-axis and temperature on the y-axis.
C) Use a line graph with temperature on the x-axis and oxygen consumption on the y-axis.
D) Use a bar graph with temperature on the x-axis and oxygen consumption on the y-axis.
