Rates of Respiration Experiments with Maggots: Investigating the Relationship between Temperature and Respiration

The video tutorial explores an experiment conducted by Katherine to investigate the relationship between temperature and the rate of respiration in maggots. Using a respirometer, Katherine measures the distance traveled by colored water in a glass tube as maggots respire at different temperatures. The experiment involves setting up the apparatus, acclimatizing maggots, and recording results at various temperatures. The tutorial explains the theory behind the experiment, including the chemical reactions involved, and concludes with a summary of the results and future analysis plans.
