Sugar and Yeast Fermentation Experiment Anaerobic Fermentation with Balloons

#scienceoffermentation Sugar and Yeast Fermentation Experiment with #Balloons
Yeasts are small microorganisms. They are more closely connected to a mushroom than to bacteria and animals or plants. People have been using them for thousands of years to make bakery products like bread.
Yeasts get their food from their surrounding environment to grow and reproduce. Yeasts feed on sugars and starches. They turn this food into energy and release carbon dioxide gas due to the process known as fermentation. The carbon dioxide gas makes a slice of bread so soft and spongy during co2 fermentation.

Observations and results

When yeasts eat sugar, they turn it into energy and produce carbon dioxide through fermentation. The balloons on the bottles with yeast and sugar capture carbon dioxide produced by the yeasts during fermentation. In the bottle that contained yeasts but not sugar, the yeasts did not have food (i.e., sugar), so the balloon was not inflated.
