This could be the result of frost protection mechanisms (Sperling et. al 2015). However, the cellular respiration for crickets decreased in low temperature. Cricket’s cellular respiration decreases not because it is an animal, but because it is cold blooded (Aerni, Jaeckel 2014). It is plausible that cellular respiration increases in lower temperatures because cellular respiration happens at night. Usually, the temperatures at night decrease significantly, compared to the day, which is when photosynthesis occurs. The purpose of this experiment is to test if plants can photosynthesize and respire in cold temperature. The test will conduct in a room temperature, and in a below room temperature. Elodea can withstand cold temperatures, but at a slower pace. On the other hand, aerobic respiration is less likely to occur. However, if optimum temperature is reached, the rate of photosynthesis and aerobic respiration will be zero because at this point, enzymes start to
