Is yeast aerobic or anerobic?
yeast is anaerobic respiration which produces energy from from glucose without oxygen
What does yeast respiration produce?
yeast respiration produces alcohol and carbon dioxide
State 4 steps for yeast respiration
Put yeast and glucose into a boiling tube/flask and put it in a water bath until it reaches a certain temperature for the experiment.
Measure the carbon dioxide produced
Repeat the test at different temperature
calculate the rate of respiration, volume of Co2 produced/time.
State the word equation for yeast respiration
Glucose —> ethanol + CO2
State the symbol equation for yeast respiration
C6H12O6 —> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2
1 glucose —> 2 ethanol + 2 carbon dioxide
How does yeast respiration contribute to bread making and alcohol brewing?
Yeast respiration produces Co2, making the bread rise as it is trapped.
Ethanol brews alcohol
