Effect of Temperature on Yeast Fermentation

Easy Data Representation Interpreting Experimental Data

A group of scientists performed an experiment to analyze the effect of varying temperatures on the rate of fermentation in yeast. They set up three different temperature conditions: 20°C, 30°C, and 40°C. Over a period of 2 hours, they measured the amount of carbon dioxide produced by the yeast in each temperature condition. The data collected is displayed in the following table:

Temperature (°C)	CO2 Produced (mL)
20	25
30	75
40	50

Based on this data, which temperature condition resulted in the greatest rate of fermentation?

20°C

30°C

40°C

All temperatures produced the same amount of CO2
