    14. The graph shows the energy released by two animals through respiration as the external temperature changes. Which conclusion can be drawn from the graph?
    Question Image
    As the temperature rises, respiration always increases.
    Animals 1 and 2 release the least energy at 23 °C.
    Animal 2 always respires faster than animal 1.
    The rate of respiration is the same for both animals at 23 °C
