Aim
In my experiment, my aim is to find out any correlation between rate of respiration of glucose by yeast and the mixtures temperature. I shall do this by conducting an experiment which will involve the timing of the yeast, water and glucose which has been mixed with a little methylene blue. ... To obtain the best range of values to use in my final experiment, I shall conduct a preliminary experiment. This will also aid accuracy of the final experiment by uncovering potential flaws in the method.
Hypothesis and Theory
There are many ideas to suggest that the change in temperature will cause an increase of respiration in yeast. Yeast is a single celled fungus made up mostly of protein which has been used for its applications in fermentation. Yeast, after activation creates the ferments carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol by secreting the enzyme zymase (a complex of 12 enzymes) in the yeast which acts on simple sugars such as glucose. ... A zymase-complex enzyme will only bind with a glucose molecule to produce the ferments carbon dioxide and alcohol which brings about the fermentation in my experiment.
