#Question id: 12015


The oxygen consumption of marine crabs acclimated to either 10°C or 20°C was measured at environmental temperatures of 5°C to 25°C to produce the following graph.

Which of the following can be correctly concluded from the information in the graph?

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. Acclimation temperature does not affect the rate of oxygen consumption.
  2. Crabs have higher rates of oxygen consumption when measured at 10°C than when measured at 20°C.
  3. Oxygen consumption is higher in the 10°C-acclimated crabs than in the 20°C-acclimated crabs at each test temperature.
  4. Acclimation to a high temperature induces a high rate of oxygen consumption at all test temperatures.
