How to Calculate Q10 at 10oC Intervals
Video Q10 = rate at higher temperature rate at lower temperature Q10 = 290 = 1.92 152
Temperature oC Respiratory rate 10 152 20 290
How to Calculate Q10 at Different Temperature Intervals
Q10 = k2
(10/t2 – t1)
k1
k2 = rate at higher temperature k1 = rate at lower temperature t2 = higher temperature t1 = lower temperature (usually falls between 2-3, rounded to whole number)
Q10 Example
The heart rate of daphnia at 10o C is 152 bpm. At 15o C, the heat rate rises to 211 bpm. Calculate the Q10 Q10 = k2
(10/t2 – t1) = 211 (10/15 – 10) = (1.39)2 = 1.93
