Question

scientists study anaerobic fermentation in yeast cells incubated at different temperatures. the amount of carbon dioxide (co₂) detected at each temperature in two trials is shown in the table.
based on the table, what is the optimal temperature for fermentation?
20°c
25°c
30°c
35°c
40°c

Explanation:

Step1: Identify CO₂ values at each temp

20℃: 1.81g (T1), 1.94g (T2); 25℃:2.91g,2.75g; 30℃:4.10g,4.06g; 35℃:5.17g,4.97g; 40℃:2.23g,1.91g

Step2: Find temp with max CO₂

35℃ has highest CO₂ (5.17g,4.97g)

Answer:

35℃
