2 1 A student investigates the rate of respiration in yeast cells. Yeast is a single-celled organism
similar to plant and animal cells. The student is provided with a yeast suspension and some yeast suspension that has been boiled. As yeast cells respire they produce carbon dioxide gas. (a) Describe the observation that shows that a gas is made in a liquid.

[1] (b) The student does the following procedure: Step 1 puts 1 cm3 distilled water into a test-tube labelled A Step 2 fills test-tube A to the top with yeast suspension Step 3 puts 1 cm3 5% glucose solution into a test-tube labelled B Step 4 fills test-tube B to the top with yeast suspension Step 5 puts 1 cm3 5% glucose solution into a test-tube labelled C Step 6 fills test-tube C to the top with boiled yeast suspension Fig. 1.1 shows the filled test-tubes.

3 Step 7 places a large test-tube (boiling tube) over the top of each of the test-tubes A, B and C Step 8 turns the test-tubes upside down as shown in Fig. 1.2

Step 9 places all of the test-tubes into a water-bath at 40 ?C Step 10 leaves the test-tubes in the water-bath for 5 minutes.
If gas is made in the small test-tube, the liquid is pushed out into the large test-tube.
After 5 minutes the student measures the height of the liquid in each large test-tube (boiling tube), as shown in Fig. 1.3.

5 (ii) Test-tube B contains glucose.
Test-tube A contains no glucose. Use this information to explain the difference in the results for test-tube B and test-tube A. ........................................................................................................................................... ..................................................................................................................................... [1] (iii) Test-tube C is used as a type of control. Explain the purpose of this control. ........................................................................................................................................... ..................................................................................................................................... [1] (iv) Explain why it is difficult to get an accurate value for the height of a liquid in a test-tube. ........................................................................................................................................... ..................................................................................................................................... [1] (v) Describe a test to find out if the gas made is carbon dioxide. Include the observation for a positive result. test .................................................................................................................................... ........................................................................................................................................... observation ........................................................................................................................
