Yeasts also change sugars into carbon dioxide and water, when air is present (Leady. 2014). When cellular respiration requires oxygen, it is known as aerophilic cellular respiration (Leady. 2014). Carbon counts are important because they give the number of carbons in monosaccharide molecules. Glucose has a carbon count of six. Fructose has a carbon count of six. Sucrose has a carbon count of twelve (Leady. 2014).Question Which form of yeast will produce the highest amount of gas?Hypothesis Yeast metabolizes simple carbohydrates than it does complex carbohydrates.Prediction I predict that Fructose, Glucose, and Sucrose will produce more gas than Starch.Methods The methods used for this lab came from Leady, B. (2014) Fundamentals of Life experience Lab Manual. Toledo, Ohio University of Toledo. No change s were made.ResultsAt the end of the 30 minute time period, the starch solution ...
