When it is carried in the wind it sometimes lands on fruit, where it feeds on the sugar. They turn this sugar into ethanol and carbon dioxide. Sugar + Yeast --> Carbon Dioxide + Ethanol This reaction is known as fermentation. I am going to see the effects of temperature over how much carbon dioxide is released.
