Base your answers to questions 22 through 24 on the information below and on your knowledge of
biology
Yeast cells carry out the process of cellular respiration as shown in the equation below.
An investigation was carried out to determine the effect of temperature on the rate of cellular
respiration in yeast. Five experimental groups, each containing five fermentation tubes, were set
up. The fermentation tubes all contained the same amounts of water, glucose, and yeast. Each
group of five tubes was placed in a water bath at a different temperature. After 30 minutes, the
amount of gas produced (D) in each fermentation tube was measured in milliliters. The average for
each group was calculated. A sample setup and the data collected are shown below.
Page 6
22. Compared to the other tubes at the end of 30 minutes, the tubes in group 3 contained the
A)
B)
C)
D)
smallest amount of CO2
smallest amount of glucose
smallest amount of ethyl alcohol
same amounts of glucose, ethyl alcohol, and CO 2
23. The maximum rate of cellular respiration in yeast occurred at which temperature?
A) 5°C
B) 20°C
C) 40°C
D) 60°C
24. Mark an appropriate scale on each labeled axis.
