Question 5

Easy

In an investigation into the cellular respiration of baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), the rate of carbon dioxide production was measured at two different incubation temperatures to evaluate metabolic efficiency.

At a temperature of $15∘C15^\circ\text{C}$ , the rate of carbon dioxide production was 3.2 cm³ min^-1. At a temperature of $25∘C25^\circ\text{C}$ , the rate of carbon dioxide production was 8.8 cm³ min^-1.

The temperature coefficient ( $Q_{10}$ ) is calculated using the formula:

Q_{10} = \frac{\text{rate at higher temperature}}{\text{rate at lower temperature}}

What is the $Q_{10}$ value for this biological process over this temperature range?

$0.36$

$5.60$

$2.75$

$28.16$
