Suppose that your initial fermentation experiment yields the following results. You may assume that all tubes were monitored for a total of 20 minutes.

Reaction. Yeast Suspension (mL). Glucose (mL). CO2 Produced (mL)

Tube 1 0 3 0.
Tube 2 1 0 0.5
Tube 3 1 3 3.2
Tube 4. 3 3 9.7

1) The values in the "CO2 Produced (mL)" column are rate values that tell you how fast the yeast cells fermented glucose. (True or false)

2) It would be appropriate to compare the amount of CO2 produced in the four reactions by calculating an average of the values in the "CO2 Produced (mL)" column. (True or False)

3) You could improve the reliability of your data by repeating the entire experiment (i.e., all four reactions) two more times. (True or False.)

4) The results of Tube 2 show that a small amount of the CO2 that was produced in Tubes 3 and 4 (roughly 0.5 mL) does not represent CO2 that was produced by glucose fermentation. It would be appropriate to subtract this amount from the values for Tubes 3 and 4 to generate a "Net CO2 Produced (mL)" value for each. (True or False)
