The experiment setup with yeast, sugar, and warm water in a sealed flask, which results in the warming of the flask and the inflation of the balloon, is most likely designed to show anaerobic respiration. In this process, yeast ferments the sugar in the absence of oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and alcohol, which would inflate the balloon.
The diagram below illustrates an experiment setup by high school students. Yeast, sugar, and warm water are placed in a flask, and then the flask is sealed with a limp balloon. Over time, the flask gets warm and the balloon starts to fill. What process is the experiment most likely designed to show?
