Question
Help! Based on your results. do all sugars produce the same amount of energy in the yeast system? If you say "yes", then explain why you think this is possible. If you say "no", then explain why you think varying amounts of energy are produced. What are some reasons why yeast may not be able to use a particular sugar as an energy source? Consider the molecular structure of the sugars you used in your experiment. Consider the molecular structure of the sugars you used in your experiment. Consider also macroscopic appearance of the sugar crystals (i.e. what each sugar looked like when before you put it into the flask). Does the molecular structure of each sugar affect what its crystals look like? If you say "yes", then describe the differences that you observed. If you say "no" then explain why you think the molecular structure would not affect the macroscopic appearance of the sugars.Explanation / Answer
Answer=No
all sugars does not produce the same amount of energy in yeast system
The different types of sugars used in fermentation had a significant impact on the amount of carbon dioxide produced
The glucose produced the most with a gas bubble of 132 mm while sucrose yielded 102 mm of carbon dioxide the by product in fructose measured only 56 mm.
glucose was most efficient for producing carbon dioxide per minute & fructose was least efficient
carbon dioxide production can be directly related to the energy produced through fermentation because carbon dioxide is a by product of ethanol fermentation
Glucose has the greatest rate of energy production because its rate of carbon dioxide production was the largest
sucrose has second highest rate of production while fructose has the lowest rate out of three sugars
