Aim: The aim of this investigation is to find out how temperature affects the rate of respiration in yeast cells. Apparatus: The pieces of equipment I will be using are as follows: * Measuring Cylinder (10cm³ and 50cm³) * Test Tubes * Distilled Water * Glucose solution (0.5g-1.0g) * Yeast suspension (0.5g-1.0g) * Water Baths (Electronic) * Test Tube racks * Gas Syringe (200ml) * Stop Clock Method: In a preliminary study, I found the best way for me to do this experiment is by measuring 10ml of distilled water into a measuring cylinder, and mixing glucose solution and yeast suspension. I am going to keep the volume and concentration of the glucose and yeast the same, but the only factor I am going to change is the temperature. Then we put the bung on to the test tube leading to the gas syringe. Then we are going to see how much gas we are...
