A student places two samples of crushed apple into two beakers, P and Q. The samples are of equal size. She adds 5 cm3 of pectinase solution to beaker P and 5 cm3 of water to beaker Q.
After five minutes, she places the samples of crushed apple into two different filter funnels, and measures the volume of juice filtering through from each sample over a period of 10 minutes.
