An agricultural biologist was evaluating two newly developed varieties of wheat as potential crops. In an experiment, Seedings were germinated on moist paper towels at 20°C for 48 hours. Oxygen consumption of the two-day-old seedlings was measured at different temperatures. The data are shown in the graph below. CUMULATIVE OXYGEN CONSUMPTION O Variety A 7"C - Variety A 17e O Variety B 7°C • Variety B 17°C 20 40 Time (min) 60 8. In a second experiment, variety A seedlings at both temperatures were treated with a chemical that prevents NADH from being oxidized to NAD*. Predict he most likely effect of the chemical on metabolism and oxygen consumption of the treated seedlings. Explain your prediction. v + , N - C (qu) Oxygen Consumptionarrow_forward
