Question 4:
By using the apparatus set-up in Figure 4, suggest five different ways to measure the rate of carbon dioxide production from the action of yeast in sugar solutions at different temperatures.
Answer:
Apparatus set-up X
Method 1: Observe and compare the volume of carbon dioxide collected in the balloon.
Apparatus set-up Y
Method 2: Observe and compare the thickness of the layer of carbon dioxide foam, X, on the surface of the mixture of yeast and sugar solution.
Apparatus set-up Z
Method 5: Measure the volume of carbon dioxide in the syringe after an hour.
