Question 47

The temperature coefficient (Q10Q_{10}Q10​) is calculated using the following formula:

Q10=rate at (T+10)∘Crate at T∘C Q_{10} = \frac{\text{rate at } (T + 10)^\circ\text{C}}{\text{rate at } T^\circ\text{C}} Q10​=rate at T∘Crate at (T+10)∘C​

During an investigation into cellular respiration in active yeast cultures, the rate of carbon dioxide release was measured at two different temperatures:

  • At 22∘C22^\circ\text{C}22∘C, the rate of carbon dioxide release was 6.5 cm3 h-1.
  • At 32∘C32^\circ\text{C}32∘C, the rate of carbon dioxide release was 16.9 cm3 h-1.

What is the Q10Q_{10}Q10​ value for this respiration process over this temperature range?
