1B). The tube with germinating peas had the heights rate of oxygen consumption. The reasoning behind this is because the peas were doing aerobic respiration in which the oxygen was consumed by the peas and the carbon dioxide was released from the peas. The thermobar tube had the lowest rate of oxygen consumption because the glass beads did not undergo aerobic respiration, rather potassium hydroxide reacted with carbon dioxide to form the potassium carbonate and water. In fact, the thermobar data displayed a negative slope of the amount raw oxygen consumption, showing that as the reaction continued that the amount of oxygen that was consumed decreased. In regards to the slopes, the scatterplot shows that there was a positive slope for the germinating …show more content…

We included four additional samples in addition to the ‘Anaerobic Distillate’ because each tube serves as a way of, demonstrating how the process works or does not work depending on the content in each tube. For example, water contains oxygen therefore, fermentation would not occur because the process of fermentation occurs because there is a lack of oxygen. We used ethanol and water to see if one of the end products of fermentation, ethanol, along with would yield a precipitate, which it did, unsurprisingly. Next, corn syrup was the negative control, meaning that we would expect no change or precipitate formed in which that expectation held true. Further, we used wine distillate which has a high concentration of alcohol that would yield to a precipitate. C. We can conclude that it allowed us to determine that anaerobic distillate, wine distillate and ethanol and water yielded a precipitate and that the ethanol was present. This shows that during ethanol fermentation of yeast, water and corn syrup distillate did not form precipitate, thus no ethanol present which demonstrated that distilled corn syrup and water do not allow for fermentation to take place while wine distillate and the ethanol and water combination does indeed produce
