Question 14
H

Yeast and glucose solution were kept at different temperatures. The volume of carbon dioxide collected in 30 minutes was measured.

Temperature (∘C^\circ\mathrm{C}∘C)1525354555
Volume of CO2\mathrm{CO_{2}}CO2​ (cm3\mathrm{cm^{3}}cm3)143251260

Statement 1: the results prove that the optimum temperature is exactly 35 ∘C^\circ\mathrm{C}∘C

Statement 2: no gas was collected at 55 ∘C^\circ\mathrm{C}∘C because the enzymes in the yeast were denatured

Statement 3: less gas was collected at 15 ∘C^\circ\mathrm{C}∘C because the enzymes were denatured by the cold

Statement 4: the results show that the optimum temperature lies between 25 ∘C^\circ\mathrm{C}∘C and 45 ∘C^\circ\mathrm{C}∘C
