Question 1 Did your results support your hypothesis?
Yes, our group result supported the hypothesis.
Question 2 Why did the water level in the CO2 collection tube move downward?
The water level in the C02 collection tube move downward because the CO2 pushed
the water downward.
Question 3 Which respirometers in this experiment are the negative controls? Why?
Water is the negative controls in this experiment because there is nothing feeding the
enzymes.
, If ethanol fermentation is used in the process of making bread, how come you don’t
Question 4 get drunk eating bread?
The reason why people do not get drunk eating bread because CO2 produce by yeast
is used to raise bead; therefore, a person is unable to get drunk because the ethanol
fermentation used in bread evaporates.
