Questions and Answers

What is the independent variable in the investigation of aerobic respiration in yeast?

  • pH level
  • Volume of yeast suspension
  • Concentration of glucose
  • Temperature (correct)
  • Why is it essential to maintain a constant concentration of dye in the experiment?

  • To allow for a consistent volume of substrate
  • To ensure the yeast cells are not exposed to toxins
  • To avoid interfering with the temperature measurement
  • To keep the respiration rates consistent across tests (correct)
  • What happens to the rate of aerobic respiration when the temperature exceeds 40°C?

  • It remains constant
  • It increases significantly
  • It fluctuates inconsistently
  • It decreases due to enzyme denaturation (correct)
  • How is the rate of aerobic respiration measured in this investigation?
