Hi guys,
Doing the AQA A level biology practical 9 and I don't understand why increasing the temperature increases the rate of respiration in yeast? I was also wondering how that was linked to the methylene blue becoming colourless in the practical?
I know that increasing the temperature increases the kinetic energy of the molecules, which in turn increases the rate of respiration but why is that?
Many thanks

From what I can understand, when you increase the rate of a temperature, it also increases the rate of successful collisions between the reacting particles so there is more chance of the reaction occurring.
I don't do aqa so that's the extent of my knowledge on this topic, sorry!
