Why do yeast cells consume glucose much more slowly if oxygen is present than absent?
When oxygen is present, yeast cells undergo aerobic respiration, which is a more efficient process that yields more ATP per glucose molecule. This results in a slower consumption rate of glucose compared to anaerobic respiration where glucose is broken down more quickly in the absence of oxygen to produce energy.
What ingredients are needed for yeast respiration?
Yeast respiration requires sugar (such as glucose) as a substrate, oxygen for aerobic respiration, and yeast cells to carry out the process. This process results in the production of carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP.
What chemical substance do yeast consume?
Yeast uses sugar in respiration.Glucose is the primary substrate.This is oxidized during respiration
What is anaerobic respiration and give two examples of anaerobic respiration?
Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration that occurs in the absence of oxygen, yielding energy by breaking down glucose. Examples of anaerobic respiration include fermentation in yeast cells, where glucose is converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide, and lactic acid fermentation in muscle cells, where glucose is converted into lactic acid.
Why is fermentation needed when oxygen is not available?
Fermentation is the anaerobic (without oxygen) respiration of sugar by yeast. This correctly indicates that oxygen is not used in the process, but its incorrect to say the absense of oxygen is required. Brewers yeast will ferment anaerobically in the presence of glucose at concentrations of > 1g/l. Brewers yeast has a high alcohol tolerance and produces alcohol as an inhibitor to competitive organisms. Once all the glucose is consumed brewers yeast will consume the alcohol. This phenomenom is known as the Crabtree Effect
How does yeast break down food without the use of oxygen?
the yeast uses anaerobic respiration instead which only needs glucose

This results in a slower consumption rate of glucose compared to anaerobic respiration where glucose is broken down more quickly in the absence of oxygen to produce energy.
Why would the respiration of yeast graph not continue to go up in a straight line if the amount of glucose was increased indefinately?
Because glucose is not the only molecule required for respiration, oxygen is also needed, if the amount of glucose was increased indefinatly then the amount of oxygen would decrease rapidly until there is no longer enough. Anaerobic respiration will continue to occur even without oxygen, however, this produces ethanol (in yeast) as a biproduct, when the concentration of ethanol becomes too high, the yeast die.
What is the word equation for aerobic respiration in yeast?
I was just looking up the same thing because I am doing my GCSE in a couple of days...it is the same as aerobic respiration in humans..(the only difference is yeast can also respire anerobically if there is no oxygen available, although this produces less engergy) glucose + oxygen --> water + carbon dioxide + energy (32 ATP) - (whereas anerobically yeast would only have made 2 ATP) Hope that helps!

Does yeast make carbon dioxide by aerobic respiration?
Yes, yeast is capable of producing carbon dioxide through aerobic respiration when oxygen is present. This process involves the breakdown of glucose to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
What chemical substance do yeast consume?
Yeast uses sugar in respiration.Glucose is the primary substrate.This is oxidized during respiration
When yeast is deprived of oxygen it will convert glucose into what?
When yeast is deprived of oxygen, it will convert glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide through a process called fermentation.

What do yeast glucose and water result in?
The yeast will break down the glucose which produces Carbon dioxide + Ethanol + Energy during anaerobic respiration and the process is also known as 'fermentation'. Carbon dioxide and Ethanol are the waste products. During aerobic respiration, the yeast will produce the same products as we produce such as Carbon dioxide, water and energy.
Yeast and bacteria respiration is carried out and 2 ATP molecules are produced in the absence of?
In the absence of oxygen, yeast and bacteria carry out fermentation in which they partially break down glucose to produce energy. This process yields 2 ATP molecules along with byproducts such as ethanol or lactic acid.
