Cellular Resp¡ration
Yeast are single-celled organisms that can cany out cellular respiration. In
this experiment, you will observe the activities of yeast and determine one
of the products of respiration.

7. Predict what will happen in each of the three test tubes
over the nert24 hours.
8. After 24 hours, record the color of each test tube
Think lt Over
I: O
Carbon dioxide is a waste product of cellular respiration. What evidence do you
have that cellular respiration took place in any of the test tubes?
Test tube 2 turned yellow. BTB is an indicator for carbon dioxide that turns yellow in the presence of CO2
O
How can you account for any differences between Test Tubes
O
What is the importance of Test Tube 3?
The yeast in test tube 2 were alive and could undergo cellular respiration!
This is the control with no yeast.

lnquiry Warm-Up, Cellular Respiration
ln tñe lnquiry Warm-Up, you investigated one of the products of cellular respiration by
observing the actions of yeast. Using what you learned from that activity, answer the questions
below.
1. tureR What do you think produced the carbon dioxide in test tube
2?
The yeast went through cellular respiration. They broke down the sugar and produced CO2
Based on the results you observed in test tubes 1 and 2, what
do you think boiling does to yeast? Why do you think so?
2. tHren
The yeast in test tube 1 were dead and not able to do cellular respiration (there was not a strong color change)
3. l¡lren Why do you think a pinch
of sugar was added to each test
tube?
the sugar was used to "feed" the yeast so they could undergo cellular respiration
4.
pneOlCr How do you think the results of the experiment would have
been different if no sugar had been added to the test tuþes?
All the test tubes would have been blue since the yeast could not undergo cellular respiration.

Observ¡ ng Fermentation
Yeast are single-celled organisms that can caffy out fermentation (in addition
to cellular respiration). Fermentation is a process used by some organisms to
get energy out ofsugar without the presence ofoxygen.

Procedure
r. B Et É Put on your goggles and gloves' Pour
warm waïer into two test tubes until each is almost
full. Add the 3 g of sugar to one of the test tubes.
Put the tubes in a test-tube rack. Use caution when
handling glass test tubes.
2. Add half of the dried yeast to each tube' Stir the contents
of each tube with a straw, Cover each tube with a small
piece of plastic wrap. Make sure the plastic wrap is not
too tight on the test tube.
3. Use a rubber band to secure the plastic wrap over the

4. Observe any changes that occur in the two test tubes
over the next 10 to 15 minutes.

Wash your hands with warm water and soap'
Think lt Over
O
What changes did you observe in each test tube?
O
How can you account for any differences that you observed?
Test tube 1 had bubbles at the top of the column. Test tube 2 had no change.
Sugar was added to test tube 1 which allowed it to have food and undergo cellular respiration.
Since CO2 is a product of cellular respiration, we saw bubbles in test tube 1.
