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) | 15 | 25 | 35 | 45 | 55 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Volume of CO2\mathrm{CO_{2}}CO2 (cm3\mathrm{cm^{3}}cm3) | 14 | 32 | 51 | 26 | 0 |
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
