Gurdeep Sian 06/02/2003 BIOLOGY: HOW TEMPERATURE AFFECTS THE RATE OF FERMENTATION INTRODUCTION Fermentation is anaerobic respiration; it is when yeast transfers glucose to carbon dioxide. Fermentation is used for things such as making bread rise whilst in the oven and making beer or wine. The factors that could affect the rate of fermentation are the amount of glucose, yeast, or the quantity of glucose and yeast. In the experiment I will be performing I will be looking at how temperature affects the rate of reaction, to whether it decreases or increases the rate of fermentation. FAIR TEST To make this experiment a fair test I could only change the temperature and nothing else because the whole experiment is on how temperature affects the rate of fermentation. The amount of glucose and yeast had to be the same, because then this will affect the rate of reaction and will give off more carbon dioxide, because if...
