What do we know about the amount of carbon dioxide produced during metabolism? The more CO2 expelled during metabolism of the yeast, the more sugar that is present in the food sample being tested.
When performing an experiment with yeast, water, and food, what nutrient’s content are we testing for? Does this experiment tell us anything about any other nutrients? We are testing for sugar. This experiment does not tell us anything else about any other nutrients. We are testing for sugar. This experiment does not tell us anything else about any other nutrients.
After conducting our sugar tests in Investigation 1, we found that any gas formed by yeast in a short time can be attributed to the interaction between yeast and sugar. This makes yeast an ____________________ of sugar. indicator
What instrument can we use to measure the amount of carbon dioxide in a sugar test? A volume tube
What procedures do you need to follow to ensure The Sugar Test remains a controlled experiment? Used the same amount of water, yeast, and food in each bag. Placed the bag in the warm water bath for 10 minutes Measured for CO2 using a volume tube Used the same amount of water, yeast, and food in each bag. Placed the bag in the warm water bath for 10 minutes Measured for CO2 using a volume tube
How much food, water, and yeast are put into each bag when conducting The Sugar Test? Food: 3 grams Water: 50 ml Yeast: 10 ml Food: 3 grams Water: 50 ml Yeast: 10 ml
