Anaerobic Cell Respiration by Yeast
Swartz Creek Global Learning HUB
Background
In this lab, we will observe the effect of food source on the process of cellular respiration by yeast. You will attempt to determine whether a yeast “bread dough” contains only flour or flour and sugar, based on the rate of CO2 production. You will assess CO2 production by measuring how much the dough rises in a set period of time.
