Question

a bacterium was discovered in several hot springs. the temperature of the springs can range from 50 to 80 degrees celsius. scientists investigate an enzyme from this bacterium. they set up the data table show to record their results. what is the dependent variable (what is being measured)?

Explanation:

In an experiment, the dependent variable is what is measured. Here, the scientists are measuring the reaction rate at different times and temperatures. The reaction rate changes based on other factors (like temperature and time), so it is the dependent variable.

Answer:

Reaction Rate
