What happens when water boils? A: Quick Answer. Water boils when the thermal energy in the water, which is a type of kinetic energy which causes the water molecules to move around, exceeds the strength of the hydrogen bonds between the molecules, causing them to separate from the other molecules.
Best Answer: Actually they are not directly related. As temperature increases, so does cellular respiration, BUT only up to a certain point, where it becomes too hot-in which cells start dying. As temperature decreases, cellular respiration slows down, until they too, die. The optimum temperature for cellular respiration is just in between-not to hot, not too cold. For humans, this is about body temperature- 37 degrees celsius.
There are many variables that can change the rate of aerobic cellular respiration. We explored the effect that temperature has on the rate of cellular respiration. Aerobic cellular respiration means that oxygen was used in the process, as opposed to anaerobic cellular respiration where oxygen is not used.
