Cellular Respiration in Yeast

In class today you will be completing a lab exploring the process of cellular respiration in yeast. To do this, we will be investigating what happens when yeast are grown in a tube filled with water and sugar and sealed with a balloon....

WHAT HAPPENED????
After you complete the lab you will asked to answer a series of questions and analyze your data. Use your notes from class, the textbook, and any other online resources (just make sure to cite!) to help you in this process.
