A student investigated the effect of temperature on the rate of photosynthesis in Cabomba pondweed. They measured the volume of oxygen gas produced over a period of 12 minutes at various temperatures.

The table below shows the student's results:

Temperature (∘C^\circ\text{C}∘C)Volume of oxygen collected in 12 minutes (cm3\text{cm}^3cm3)Rate of photosynthesis (cm3 hour−1\text{cm}^3\,\text{hour}^{-1}cm3hour−1)
150.341.70
200.582.90
