    Cellular Respiration Lab

    Introduction: (15 points)

    How does sugar affect the carbon dioxide production in yeast? The purpose of this yeast respiration lab
    is to answer that question and see if sugar affects the carbon dioxide production in yeast and by how
    much. Some things involved in this experiment that you need to know include Cellular Respiration,
    ATP, Aerobic, Anaerobic, Fermentation and why we use yeast. Cellular respiration is when oxygen in
    animals is used to break down carbohydrates into carbon dioxide, water and energy in the form of (ATP)
    which is a form of energy. Cellular respiration is created by using glucose and oxygen to produce carbon
    dioxide, water, and energy (ATP). Anaerobic is when the body produces energy without air. Aerobic is
    when the body produces energy with air. Fermentation is the process in which yeast uses an alternative
    pathway to acquire energy without oxygen. We use yeast to simulate this process because yeast is a
    single celled fungi which obtains energy from sugar molecules showing how much sugar is affecting the
    yeast. We do this by measuring how much CO2 is produced in the fermentation process in a closed tube.

    Hypothesis: (10 points)

    If the tube has sugar then High CO2 will be produced.

    Materials: (5 points)

    ● 2 Graduated tubes
    ● graduated cylinder
    ● stir sticks
    ● ¼ tsp, 1tsp measurements
    ● tape to label tube
    ● stop watch
    ● warm water
    ● table sugar
    ● 4 small clear plastic cups
    ● Yeast

    Procedure: (15 points)

    In this lab we started by taping a label on one graduated tube named sugar and the other named no sugar.
    In a small cup we then add 2 grams of yeast and 20 milliliters of warm water. After poring in the water
    mix thoroughly with a stir stick for about 30 seconds. In another cup add 2 grams teaspoon of yeast, 5
    grams of sugar and 20 milliliters of warm water and mix thoroughly. Then pour yeast solution without
    sugar into the tube labeled no sugar. Fill the table all the way to the top, extending the fluid slightly
    above the top tubes. Slowly screw the cap on the tube, some my squirt out and that is okay. After
    screwing the cap on, turn the tube upside down and check to see that there is only a small bubble or
    bubbles. If there is a large bubble, you need to add more of the mixture to the tubes and try again.
    Following that keep the tube upside down and place into one of the empty cups. Then pour the
    sugar/yeast solution into the other tube labeled sugar. Finally repeat steps 7-9.

    Data/Analysis: (Data table 15 points, Graph 15 points)

    Total Volume of CO2 Produced


    Total Time in Sugar No Sugar
    Minutes
    2 1ml 1ml

    4 1.5ml 1ml

    6 2ml 1ml
    Conclusions: (20 points)

    I accept my hypothesis because the tube with the sugar had a higher CO2 produced than the tube without
    sugar. At 2 minutes the tube with sugar was the same height as the tube without sugar, but at 4 minutes
    the tube with sugar rose .5 ml. At 6 minutes the tube with sugar rose a total of 1ml higher than the tube
    without sugar. The tube with sugar had the highest volume of CO2 produced of 2ml while the tube
    without stayed at 1 the whole duration of the 6 minutes. From this I learned that sugar can affect the
    Cellular respiration and that cellular respiration can still occur without oxygen and this is called
    fermentation. Fermentation could be used in real life situations to create things such as wine and beer.
    Some possible errors that could have occurred in this lab is carbon dioxide releasing from the tube if it
    wasn’t fully shut when flipped upside down or how the water could have leaked out of the tube.
