The Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Anaerobic Respiration in Yeast AIM: To discover which temperature gives the best condition for anaerobic respiration to occur in yeast. EQUATION: For anaerobic respiration in yeast, the equation is: Glucose (Enzyme-yeast) Alcohol + Carbon Dioxide + Energy C6H1206 (Enzyme-yeast) 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO2 + 2ATP PREDICTION: There are several factors that could have been looked at to investigate the rate of anaerobic respiration in yeast: Concentration of solution Temperature of solution Age and size of yeast particles The chosen variable was temperature. By looking at an experiment where the effect of temperature on the enzyme Amylase was investigated, it is possible to predict that with a higher temperature, the enzyme (yeast in this case) will act faster. It acts faster as with more heat, more energy is produced, and with a greater amount of energy, the particles move faster and act more...
