5.1.4 Anaerobic Respiration in Yeast Flashcards
1
Q
Yeast can respire anaerobically (without oxygen), breaking down glucose in the absence of oxygen to produce what?
A
Ethanol and carbon dioxide
2
Q
Anaerobic respiration in yeast cells is called what?
A
Fermentation
3
Q
Fermentation is economically important in the manufacture of what two products?
A
Bread (where the production of carbon dioxide makes dough rise)
Alcoholic drinks (as ethanol is a type of alcohol)
4
Q
It is possible to investigate the effect of temperature on yeast fermentation, by seeing how temperature affects what?
A
The rate of anaerobic respiration in yeast
