Investigation in to the factors that affects the rate of fermentation of GlucoseAimTo ask the factors that affects the rate of fermentation ofGlucose.Background knowledge.ENZYMESFermentation is a form of an anaerobic respiration where by glucose ispartially broken down so provided a small amount of energy is released.The yeast cells use the enzymes, ZYMASE to damp down sugars unable toobtain.GLUCOSE CARBON DIOXIDE + ETHANOL(+ENERGY) C6 H12 O6 6CO2 + C2H5OH (210KJ)Enzymes have several properties.1) Specific actions-Zyamse in yeast works on glucose.2) A small amount is mandatory as the enzyme is used again and again as it is uncharged at the end therefore one of my variables could be varying the quantity of yeast.3) apiece enzyme has its own specific temperature at which it works best. This is the factor at which I am going to investigate zymase in yeast. There are many enzymes which work best in cold eg. Fridge. And others that can stand easily high temperatures.All e nzymes are proteins as they are made by living cells. Thereforehigh temperatures cause protein to become DENATURED, destroyed,exaclty the same course as the cooked white of an egg cannot be changedback to its runny state. When proetin of an ezyme is denaturised it nolonger functions as a accelerator pedal.COLLISION THEORYRate of answer simply depends on how hard and often the counterbalanceingparticles collide with each other.The primary idea is that particles have to collide with each other in browse to react.MORE COLLISIONS INCREASE THE RATE OF REACTION.1) Temperature increases the bod of collisions.2) Concentration (or pressure) in creases the number of collisions.3) Sizes of solid particles (or surface area) incr... ...ature of 40-50, therefore themolecules reacted faster and harder, collision theory, which starts togive sullen a gas, CO2. The glucose changes into a gas, Kinetic theory.My graph of my results shows that the Carbon Dioxide produced did notreact as fast as the enzyme which is working as a catalyst has eitherstopped or died. My prediction has been a success.GLUCOSE CARBON DIOXIDE + ETHANOL(+ENERGY) C6 H12 O6 6CO2 + C2H5OH (210KJ) valuationI really enjoyed doing this experiment, which is unusual I did myresearch well. Using dissimilar types of materials, Internet, Library,Revision books.I think it would have been better if I had of do each temperaturethree times so that I could have implant an average. It would have beenabit more fairer and bit more accurate.I also deep in thought(p) the first week so it was a little bit enigmatic at firstbut it turned out okay.
