What would an organism use for energy in test tube during fermentation and what color would the indicator be.?

Sugar is the energy source, the definition of fermentation is: The anaerobic conversion of sugar to carbon dioxide and alcohol by yeast. As to the color of the indicator it would depend on what you were using to test and what you were testing for (sugar, Co2, alcohol).


What is the process of yeast reaction with sugar and how does it contribute to the fermentation of bread dough?

When yeast reacts with sugar in bread dough, it undergoes fermentation. During fermentation, yeast consumes sugar and releases carbon dioxide gas and alcohol. The carbon dioxide gas creates bubbles in the dough, causing it to rise and become light and fluffy. This process is essential for leavening the bread and giving it its airy texture.


End products of biochemical reactions are sometimes gases. What types of gases can be produced as a result of sugar fermentation?

Carbon dioxide and ethanol are common gases produced as a result of sugar fermentation. Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of the breakdown of glucose, while ethanol is a type of alcohol produced during fermentation.


Fermentation causes cells to break down sugar into carbon dioxide and?

Fermentation causes cells to break down sugar into carbon dioxide and ethanol (alcohol) in the absence of oxygen. This process allows cells to generate energy by producing ATP through glycolysis.


What is The breakdown of carbohydrates in the absence of oxygen?

In the absence of oxygen, the cell uses a process called fermentation. Fermentation doesn't break the sugar down any further, it simply helps reset the system so that more sugar can be broken down.Because aerobic respiration breaks the sugar all the way down, it releases much more energy than fermentation.

Does the amount of sugar affect fermentation?

Yes, because the yeast feeds on sugar. Fermentation cannot continue if there is not sugar as the yeast will not be able to convert it to alcohol and carbon dioxide.


What what is the breakdown of sugar without using oxygen?

In the absence of oxygen, sugar can be broken down through a process called fermentation. During fermentation, sugar is converted into energy, alcohol, and carbon dioxide. This process is commonly used in baking (yeast fermentation) and in the production of alcoholic beverages.
