After further investigation, you were able to figure out that the mutation resulted in the alteration of an enzyme involved in cellular respiration. You tested the effect of the mutated enzyme on cellular respiration by measuring carbon dioxide production of C. elegans over a 5-minute period at varying temperatures. The results from the experiment can be found on the figure below. What happened to the rate of cellular respiration in the mutant (Experimental) C. elegans as body temperature was approached?
