Yeast Respiration Lab
This lab was created by Mr.Buckley from Edward Knox High School. Credit is given for this original activity to Mr. Buckley.
Problem:
Will yeast placed in an enclosed environment with nutrient carry on cellular respiration?
What evidences may be observed to indicate that cellular respiration occurs?
Hypothesis: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Materials:
50 mL Erlenmeyer Flask, 2/3 teaspoon yeast, 40 mL apple cider, Latex balloon, Spoon
Procedure:
1. Place 1/2 teaspoon of yeast in Erlenmeyer Flask, by filling a spoon to the point where the yeast is
about level with the top of the spoon.
2. Add 40 mL of apple cider to the 50 mL Erlenmeyer Flask.
3. Cover the flask tightly with a balloon
4. Observe and make a prediction about what will happen to this experiment after 24 hours and 48 hours
after setting up the experiment.
Results:
| |Observations inside the Flask |Circumference of Balloon (cm) |
|Original | | |
|After 1 day | | |
|After 2 days | | |
|After 3 days (if applicable) | | |
Conclusion:
1. Did the balloons change in circumference during the period of this experiment? If so, how did they change?
2. What specifically accounted for the change that occurred in the balloon in this experiment?
3. What was the specific source of energy in the apple juice the yeast used for respiration?
4. The yeast began its respiration aerobically, but then after time completed it anaerobically as a fermentation process. How do these two processes differ in terms of the products and energy yielded in this process? List several ways in which the two respiration processes are similar?
5. How did the physical evidence collected in this investigation support the hypothesis that yeast carry on respiration?
6. How do the results of this experiment relate to the role yeast plays in bread making.
7. How could you use an indicator to prove the identity of the gas in the balloon? What color changes would you expect to see in the indicator?
8. How would changes in room temperature influence this investigation? Explain why in terms of your knowledge of reaction rates and respiratory enzyme function.
9. List and explain at least two major sources of error in this investigation.
