What Is the Optimum Temperature Of Respiration? Hypothesis I predict that the optimum temperature will be at 45c because the enzymes will be able to move around and collide together with the glucose, which causes a reaction that will cause carbon dioxide, energy and alcohol. If I was to use a cold temperature the enzymes wouldn't be able to have kinetic energy, it wouldn't cause a reaction between the enzymes and glucose so no carbon dioxide would be released. Background Information This experiment relates to respiration. Respiration is when food turns in to energy. Yeast=Living things. The process we are looking at is respiration. Yeast Glucose--->-->--> carbon dioxide + alcohol Dioxide + energy This is called ANAEROBIC REPIRATION but it does not involve oxygen. All enzymes are needed for a chemical reaction to take place. In this reaction the enzymes are inside the yeast. Lock and Key The above diagram is called the lock and key method. It works by...
