Rate Aerobic Respiration Anaerobic Measured Describe Yeast Measuring

The rate of respiration in yeast can be measured by monitoring the production of carbon dioxide under aerobic or anaerobic (paraffin-covered) conditions.

The rate of respiration in yeast can be measured by monitoring the production of carbon dioxide under aerobic or anaerobic (paraffin-covered) conditions.

Front Describe how the rate of anaerobic and aerobic respiration can be measured in yeast.
Back Measuring respiration rate in yeast:
  • In both - yeast suspension added to glucose solution, rate of carbon dioxide production is measured - equivalent to rate of respiration
  • For aerobic - keep conditions aerobic as much as possible
  • For anaerobic - cover solution with layer of liquid parraffin to block oxygen
