Experiments during a recent summer on a number of fireflies (small beetles, Lampyridaes photinus) showed that the average interval between flashes of individual insects was 16.3 s at 21.0C and 13.0 sat 27.8C. a. What is the apparent activation energy of the reaction that controls the flashing? b. What would be the average interval between flashes of an individual firefly at 30.0C? c.
