(b) Using the template in the space provided for your response, construct an appropriately labeled graph to represent the data in Table 1. Determine whether there is a statistical difference in the amount of CO2 fixed by rubisco at 30°C and 40°C.

a) Above the optimum temperature, the increasing in environmental temperatures decreases the carbon fixation. This is because rubisco is an enzyme, a protein, and proteins tend to loose function at high temperatures due to getting close or even reaching denaturation.

b) Carbon fixation in different temperatures can be clearly seen in the graph. We can see how the rates go down as the temperature passes the optimal temperature.

c) The plants produce caarbohydrates due to a good carbon fixation, so we have to look at the worst carbon fixation rates in the graph. The lowest amount of carbogydrates will occur at temperatures around 50°C. Based on the knowledge we have about protein denaturation, we could even say temperatures above 50°C will show even lower carbohydrate production.

In this exercise, we have to analyze the information given about temperature and CO2 amount, to identify the statistical difference between them, as well as:

The statistical difference between them can be described as 100% of increase

What is a statistical difference?

The difference between a sample statistic and a hypothetical value is statistically significant if a hypothesis test indicates that it is very unlikely to have occurred by chance. To assess statistical significance, examine the p-value of the test.

So with the information we have:

For 25 °C we have 90 amout of CO2
For 30 °C we have 95 amout of CO2
For 35 °C we have 90 amout of CO2
For 40 °C we have 105 amout of CO2
For 45 °C we have 70 amout of CO2
For 50 °C we have 60 amout of CO2

So, with that we can calculated as:

[tex]105-95= 10\\10/10=1\\1*100= 100\%[/tex]
