Produce a hypothesis to predict the effects of the following

Produce a hypothesis to predict the effects of the following 3 treatment on alcoholic fermentation state your hypothesis in the format of an \"if then\" statement. For example, \"if higher amount of glucose increase the rate of alcoholic fermentation, then i predict that higher amounts of CO_2 would be produced faster Effect of sucrose on alcoholic fermentation Effects of NaF (\"sodium fluoride) on alcoholic fermentation Effects of MgSO_4 (Magnesium sulfate) on alcoholic fermentation

Solution

1. The amount of sugar increases the amount of alcohol produced.

If higher amount of sucrose increase the rate of alcoholic fermentation then higher amounts of CO₂ would be produced.

2. Sodium fluoride inhibits the rate of alcoholic fermentation. NaF effects the enzyme enolase to convert phosphoglycerate to phosphoenol pyruvate.

If NaF is present during alcoholic fermentation then the amount of alcohol produced is inhibited.

3. IIf MgSO₄ amount is higher the amount of CO₂ is decreased.
