Abstract


Saccharomyces cerevisae, baker’s yeast, converts sugar into ethanol and carbon dioxide through fermentation. With our trials we compared the amount of CO2 produced with various concentrations of ethanol was added. Our purpose for conducting this experiment is to find the point at which ethanol becomes toxic to the yeast.
