Investigation question

 How does the amount of sugar we give the yeast and how quickly
it creates carbon dioxide relate to one another?

Hypothesis: Yeast is considered to be alive if it can consume sugar and

release carbon dioxide when given oxygen.

Methods and Materials:

1. We put 2 test tubes in a test tube rack. We labeled each tube with
either 1 or 2.
Test tube 1 had yeast, sugar, and water.
Test tube 2 had only yeast and water, with no sugar. 2.
 Twenty milliliters of water as well as 2 g of yeast were added to
test tube 1 and thoroughly mixed. 3. Next, we was using a syringe
to transfer 10 milliliters of the yeast-water mixture to test tube 2.
4. To completely dissolve the sugar, 5 grams of sugar were then
added to test tube 1, and the test tube was shaken once more. 5.
 Next, we covered each test tube with a balloon to catch any
carbon dioxide the yeast could perhaps release.2 test tubes

Discussion:
While conducting the experiment, we discovered a number of things.
To begin with, the theory was accurate. The hypothesis states that
yeast is alive if it can consume sugar and emit carbon dioxide when
exposed to oxygen. The balloon is still alive because breathing occurred
and carbon dioxide was added to it. The results confirmed what we had
predicted. Second, we observed that events would change with time.
Think about the color of the bubbles and the yeast. In addition, we
found that tube 1 was cloudy.
Evaluation:
Our experiment definitely contained numerous errors. First, there was
an error in our time factor calculation. We didn't think the filling of the
balloon would take as long as it did. Second, some Co2 may have leaked
during the inflation of the balloon. Third, we needed to check if there
was air. Although there were many mistakes, they weren't really a big
deal. It could have been improved by taking proper measurements of
the time factor to increase accuracy and being more cautious about the
balloon's lack of air.
Conclusion:
Our test turned out to be successful. If yeast is considered to be alive,
then it can consume sugar and release carbon dioxide when exposed to
oxygen, which was our hypothesis, was correct.
