Question

a researcher wanted to determine the effect water temperature has on goldfish respirations. the researcher placed the goldfish in three different bowls of water with three different temperatures and counted the goldfishs respirations for two minutes in each setting. which statement is a valid conclusion,based on the data in this table? goldfish respirations are not affected by water temperature. goldfish respire more in colder water. goldfish respire more in warmer water. goldfish require a larger tank than was used in the investigation.

Explanation:

As water temperature increases from 65°F to 70°F and then to 75°F, the number of goldfish respirations in two - minutes increases from 132 to 144 and then to 156. This indicates a positive correlation between water temperature and goldfish respirations.

Answer:

Goldfish respire more in warmer water.
