The hypothesis that rate of respiration of chickpeas is highest at room temperature is not supported by the data, although there was error in the data. The data from the lab showed rate of oxygen consumed to be the highest at 1.5 degrees Celsius with a rate of .0124ppt/min/g. At room temperature there was a rate of .0077ppt/min/g, and at the hottest temperature (95.6 degrees Celsius) a rate of -.0131ppt/min/g, meaning that oxygen was not consumed but actually increased in concentration in the biochamber.
In reality, room temperature should have had the highest consumption of oxygen, the cold temperature should have a less amount of oxygen consumption, and the hot temperature should have had no oxygen consumption, and should have stayed at
