How does the temperature of the water that yeast are in affect the production of CO2?
the enzymes used in the production of CO2 from yeast with water only work in a certain temperature range. most chemical reactions can’t occur in low temperatures, and in this case – it is due to the enzymes in the yeast ‘denaturing’ – which is a biology term for when an enzyme is damaged due to existing in an environment that is the wrong pH or the wrong temperature – such damage is irreversable.
