Calculate q10 for water uptake by radish seeds for each 10°c increase in temperature, and then calculate the average q10. enter your answers to two decimal places.

(Missing figure with the % increase in mass due to the water uptake:

The temperature coefficient  is given by

where K are the reaction rates, and T the temperatures.

From the table, the increases in temperature are always of 10C, so T2-T1=10, and the formula becomes


The reaction rates are simply the increase in mass due to water uptake. Therefore we have:

- from 5C to 15C: 
- from 15C to 25C: 
- from 25C to 35C: 

b) The average Q10 is:

Independent variable is something that is changed in a experiment.
