Question
The diagram shows an experiment to investigate the respiration of yeast. Oilprevents oxygen entering the glucose and yeast suspension.If no oxygen is present in the glucose and yeast suspension, what will occur?A Ethanol will be produced and the limewater will stay clear.B Ethanol will be produced and the limewater will go cloudy.C Lactic acid will be produced and the limewater will stay clear.D Lactic acid will be produced and the limewater will go cloudy.
Solution
The answer is A. Ethanol will be produced and the limewater will stay clear.
Here's why:
In the absence of oxygen, yeast will undergo anaerobic respiration, also known as fermentation. The byproduct of this process is ethanol.
Limewater is used as a test for the presence of carbon dioxide. In the presence of carbon dioxide, limewater turns cloudy. However, in this experiment, the oil prevents oxygen from entering the glucose and yeast suspension, meaning that carbon dioxide cannot be produced. Therefore, the limewater will stay clear.
