Increasing the concentration of sugars in a solution, lead - by fermentation, to a greater release of carbon dioxide.

- - - - -

Given a perfect world, yes - yeast eats sugar, so if you give them more food they'll produce more CO2. But they can only eat so much, so if you've got a yeast shortage in your container of sugar water you're not going to get as much CO2 as you potentially could.

You also need to look at the alcohol content of the solution. Yeast dies at 13 percent alcohol content, so if you were to try to increase the alcohol content of 10-percent alcohol content wine by adding yeast and sugar you won't get as much CO2 as if you tried this in a solution with no alcohol in it.

Does increase in glucose lead to increase in carbon dioxide?

The formula for photosynthesis is 6Carbon Dioxide + 6 Water --> 1Glucose + 6 Oxygen. According to some basic chemical principles, increasing concentration of one of the reactants of a chemical reaction will speed up the speed of a reaction and will create more of the products. The amount of sugar made, though, is limited by the availability of water, assuming there is a lot of carbon dioxide, but not "a lot" of water.

Does carbon dioxide affect photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis is a processes plants use to harness the energy of light to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) & water into the simple sugar glucose. The larger the amount of co2, the more oxygen will be produced.
