Question

question 13 (08.01 mc) a biologist created the following graph to show the relationship between the temperature of water (x), in degrees celsius, and the number of insect larvae (y) in the water. what does the peak of the graph represent? the number of larvae is greatest at 450 degrees celsius. the number of larvae is greatest at 5 degrees celsius. the least number of larvae in the water is 450. the least number of larvae in the water is 5.

Explanation:

The peak of a graph representing the relationship between water - temperature (x) and number of insect larvae (y) indicates the maximum value of y (number of larvae) for a particular x - value (temperature). By observing the x - axis of the graph, the peak occurs around 5 degrees Celsius, meaning the number of larvae is greatest at this temperature.

Answer:

The number of larvae is greatest at 5 degrees Celsius.
