A student wants to test the effect of temperature on the growth of bacteria. They set up an experiment where they grow two groups of bacteria, one group at a temperature of 25°C and another group at a temperature of 37°C. The student counts the number of colony-forming units every hour for six hours. They use the same type and amount of nutrient media for both groups of bacteria.
What is the research question for this experiment?

A student investigated the effect of the presence of four different molecules, R, S, T and U, on the rate of cellular respiration in human liver cells. The production of carbon dioxide by the cells was recorded over a five-minute interval. The final concentration of carbon dioxide was recorded. The data collected is shown to the left.
The student presented the results as a graph. Which one of the following graphs is the best representation of the results?
