I investigated yeast, tiny organisms that give off carbon dioxide gas as they grow. In two bottles, I put 2
mL of yeast, 5 mL of sugar, and water. In Bottle A, I used 250 mL of cold water (20 C). In Bottle B, I used
250 mL of warm water (40 C). I attached a balloon to each bottle. After five minutes, I observed bubbles
forming on the surface inside both bottles, and the balloons on both bottles expanded. The balloon on
Bottle B became about twice as large as the balloon on Bottle A.
