In the absence of oxygen, yeast will switch to an alternative pathway that does not require oxygen. The end products of this pathway are CO2 and ethanol. The first pathway yields a lot more energy per sugar molecule consumed, and so it is the "preferred" pathway if oxygen is present.

Alcoholic fermentation - The role of yeast enzymes in converting sugar to ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide ... Alcoholic fermentation by yeast cells ... ; Note: The sugars used can be a range of fermentable sugars. These sugars are converted by enzymes to glucose which is then convered to alcohol and CO2...

In this experiment, the fermentation of yeast using table sugar (sucrose) and honey (fructose and glucose) was compared to the fermentation of yeast using Equal® Spoonful (aspartame). Both table sugar and honey contain simple sugars which yeast utilize to produce energy in the fermentation process.

Subject: Yeast fermentation with pure sugars and molasses ... Why does the fermentation of yeast and molasses produce an excessive amount of CO2 but when I use a solution of 60% sucrose, 15% glucose and 15% fructose (The ratios of the sugars found in molasses) barely any CO2 is produced.

The easiest answer to your question is that the sugars you used for your experiment are fermentable and should lead to varying CO2 production through anaerobic respiration.

Lab Exercise 2: Yeast Fermentation ... In this laboratory exercise, we will study the growth characteristics of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in batch and continuous cultures. A lab-scale (5 liter) fermentor will be used to study batch growth kinetics of the yeast growing on glucose as the single carbon...

In this lab, you will try to determine whether yeast are capable of metabolizing a variety of sugars. Although aerobic fermentation of sugar is much more efficient, in this experiment we will have yeast ferment sugars anaerobically.

Fermentation of Different Sugars by Yeast Aim In this experiment I am going to investigate the fermentation of different sugars by yeast. To do this I am going to change the sugars and see how different sugars ... as and a level a2 "a level" biology blood osmosis molar sucrose permeable glucose yeast fermentation sugars...

We recently performed a yeast fermentation lab in class to determine the effects of different sugars (sucrose, lactose and dextrose) on the rate of fermentation. I am writing up my lab report, however I am having some difficulties.
