2 Some students investigated the effect of two sugars on the activity of yeast.
Solution A was 10 cm3 of 10% glucose in water.
Solution B was 10 cm3 of 10% sucrose in water.
Fig. 2.1 shows the apparatus that was used.

Fig. 2.1
3g of dried yeast was added to solution A in a test-tube and shaken, then left standing in
a beaker of warm water for five minutes.
• The delivery tube was attached and the number of bubbles released in one minute
was counted and recorded as ‘first count’ in Table 2.1.
• The test-tube containing the mixture was gently shaken again, while still in the
beaker of warm water.
• The number of bubbles released was counted again for one minute and recorded as
the ‘second count’ in Table 2.1.
• A third count was taken in the same way.
• This whole procedure was repeated using another 3g of dried yeast mixed with
solution B.
The results were recorded as shown in Table 2.1.

Solution Number of bubbles of gas released in one minute

A 13 12 10
glucose in water
B 36 34 32

3 Milk is the main food for young mammals and contains all the required nutrients for the
first few months of life. Milk needs to be clotted before it can be digested.
The stomach of a young mammal produces an enzyme which causes soluble proteins in
milk to form insoluble clots. Some students investigated the effect of temperature on this
enzyme using two types of milk. The students measured the time taken for clots to form.

Table 3.1 shows the results for fresh milk.

Table 3.2 shows the results for dried milk mixed with water.

Table 3.1
Temperature / C Time taken fresh milk to clot / seconds

35 35 34 30 33
37 15 20 25
39 19 15 20 18
41 27 25 23 25

(a) Complete Table 3.1 by calculating the mean value for 37 °C.
Write your answer in Table 3.1 [1]

 (b) (i) Plot a graph of the data for both types of milk on one set of axes to show the
effect of temperature on the mean clotting time.

[5]
(ii) Describe and compare the effect of temperature on the clotting time for both
types of milk.
