Purpose: To investigate the effect of temperature on the fermentation of glucose by bakers yeast.
hypothesis
If to separate tubes of 20% glucose solution with 1 mil of yeast is added to battery jars filled with 20 and 38 c water then the warmer one will cause the yeast to ferment at a quicker rate.
Materials:
-2 test tubes (100 mm. Long x 11 mm. I.D.)
-2 ones-hole stoppers (size 00 w/3 mm. Hole)
-Glucose
-Bakers yeast suspension
-Balance
-Molding clay
