Yeast are tiny fungi to make products like bread, other kinds of dough, beer, and wine. They do this by digesting sugar. A byproduct of this is the release of carbon dioxide gas which makes bread so light and fluffy. We can observe yeast through experimentation by putting them in a closed container with sugar with a ballon on top to trap any carbon dioxide released. What is a quantitative observation that could be made in this experiment?
Compare the volume (weight) of CO2 gas produced to the weights of sugar and yeast that were used to produce the CO2. Ideally, both the yeast and sugar would be entirely consumed.
