(b) Some students investigated the effect of temperature on the rate of aerobic respiration in earthworms.
The diagram shows the apparatus the students used.
When the tap is closed, the bead of liquid moves to the left as the earthworms take in oxygen.
The students put the test tube into a water bath at 20°C for 10 minutes.
They left the tap open during this time.
Why did the students put the test tube in the water bath at 20°C for 10 minutes?
Tick ( ) one box.
Because the air contains more oxygen at 20°C.
Because the air contains less carbon dioxide at 20°C.
So the earthworms’ body temperature would change to 20°C.

• closed the tap
• started a stopwatch
• recorded the position of the bead of liquid every 2 minutes for 10 minutes
• repeated the experiment at 10°C.
