Students are studying the rate of yeast fermentation under different conditions. Glucose is a monosaccharide. Sucrose is a disaccharide. What do you predict would happen if a 6th test tube was added containing fruit juice and yeast?

Twinkly · Answer 1

Fruit juice also contains glucose and when it is added with yeast then fermentation will occur with faster rate.

Explanation:

Fermentation is a process by which yeast digests the glucose and produces alcohol as a result. This process takes time and it depends upon the the type of ingredient used. The quality of the product also depends upon the type of sugar and the quality of yeast added into it.

Apart from fermentation it is also used for the making of bread. It is very useful for the food industries. The quality of product is enhanced by using proper atmosphere and environment for the yeast to digest the food and to reproduce quickly.

Fermentation would occur at a similar rate to that of glucose (USATestprep)
