Experiment to show the factors that effect the respiration in yeast Introduction Yeast is a single celled fungus. It respires anaerobically (the release of energy from glucose, without combining it with oxygen). When this is done it converts sugar to ethanol. Yeast is one of the living cells which can respire without oxygen anaerobically by reacting with a sugar solution such as glucose to produce carbon dioxide and ethanol and a small amount of energy. When the conversion of sugar to ethanol and carbon dioxide it is known as fermentation. The energy formed is necessary for the yeast to carry out the reactions necessary for cell growth. Yeast cell replicates fastest at about forty-two degrees Celsius. The variable I have used to carry out this experiment is Temperature Equation: Glucose -> alcohol + carbon dioxide + energy Prediction I predict that in my bubble count the number of bubbles will increase gradually as the temperature...
