Yeast Experiment

In this experiment, we were asked to experiment about how yeast reproduce.

We were asked to bring 2 balloons, 2 packs of yeast, and sugar.

First, we pour hot water to a beaker. Then, we put in the sugar to the hot water. After that, we put the yeast to the beaker and immediately put the balloon over it. This was for beaker A. The second one was the same, but with no sugar.

We then see which balloon grew big faster. And we inferred that for yeast/cells to grow and reproduce, it needs a source of energy and in this experiment, the source of energy was the sugar.
