Question

How does glucose affect yeast respiration?

Answer 1

Respiration in yeast:

1. The process through which respiration in yeast occurs is called fermentation.
2. It is an anaerobic process, where no oxygen is used.
3. The product of this anaerobic respiration are ethanol, carbon dioxide, and energy.
4. Some yeast cells respire aerobically, using oxygen.
5. Yeasts use glucose in the presence of oxygen to release energy, since glucose has a higher rate of respiration thus, more glucose results in a higher respiration rate in yeasts.
6. The product of this cellular respiration are carbon dioxide, energy, and water.
