Yeast is easy to experiment with because it is inexpensive, widely available, and has a rapid growth rate. It can be easily manipulated in a laboratory setting and requires minimal equipment to observe its growth and behavior. Additionally, yeast is a simple organism with a well-understood genome, making it a popular choice for genetic and metabolic studies.
The purpose of adding yeast and water in a sugar and yeast experiment is to provide the necessary conditions for fermentation to occur. The yeast consumes the sugar as a food source and produces carbon dioxide gas and alcohol as byproducts. This reaction demonstrates the process of anaerobic respiration in living organisms.
The cups with yeast and nothing serve as a control in the experiment to compare the rate of reaction when hydrogen peroxide is added. By observing how the control cup behaves without the hydrogen peroxide, we can compare any changes in the cups with yeast and hydrogen peroxide to see the effect of the reaction.
why is it reasonable that, of the three sugars, glucose would result in the most activiity suring the fermentation experiment
Using a sweetener in a yeast balloon experiment may impact carbon dioxide production. Sweeteners can provide additional food for the yeast, potentially increasing fermentation activity and resulting in more carbon dioxide production. However, the specific effect would depend on the type and concentration of sweetener used.
Testing the effect of different sugars on yeast fermentation can be a very good experiment. You will need the following materials: 2 liter bottles, packets of dry active yeast, different sugars (like sucrose{table sugar}, fructose, substitution sweetener lactose{milk sugar},and dextrose balloons,and of course,water. Add the amount of water instructed on the yeast to every 2liter bottle. then measure the same amount of sugar for each bottle. place a balloon on the top of each bottle and let them sit for at least ten minutes. then measure the circumference of the balloons and compare. to make completely scientific do at least three times and average results. To further extend add salt to each sugar solution to see if it makes any difference. Hope I helped:)
Water is added to yeast in the elephant toothpaste experiment to activate it. Yeast is a microorganism that becomes active in the presence of water, which allows it to produce carbon dioxide gas needed for the reaction. This gas creates the foamy explosion seen in the experiment.

Stirring the yeast culture at the beginning of an experiment helps ensure that the yeast cells are well distributed and homogeneous throughout the culture. This promotes uniform growth conditions and nutrient availability, which can improve cell growth and experimental reproducibility.

To conduct a yeast balloon experiment, you will need a balloon, a water bottle, warm water, sugar, active dry yeast, and a funnel. First, mix the warm water with sugar in the bottle, add yeast using the funnel, and stretch the balloon over the top of the bottle. As the yeast consumes the sugar and produces carbon dioxide, the balloon will inflate.
The bottle that contains only yeast and water. The experimental group in the bottle with yeast, water, AND sugar.
I just did this experiment for my biology class. It seems that with the bleach, it kills the reaction of the yeast. It overpowers the yeast. No bubbles occur--like if it were just yeast, sugar, and warm water.
The manipulated variable in the experiment of blowing up a balloon with yeast could be the amount of yeast used. By varying the quantity of yeast, you can observe how it affects the rate of gas production and therefore the balloon inflation.

EH...... what the heck
you did not answer my question . please answer the question I give you I said the hypothesis about how to make a ballon blow up using soda and yeast
easy
