carry out the ‘carbon dioxide production’ part of the experiment on a
smaller scale, using test tubes. If you do, then warm them to about 37o C in

Let us recall maida dough and yeast powder activity that you performed
in class VIII in the chapter ‘The story of microorganisms’. Why volume of
the dough has increased? Which gas released in that reaction?
If yeast and sugar solution are left to stand without oxygen for some
days, they develop a characteristic smell, caused by production of new
compound called ethanol, which has been manufactured by the yeast from

Quite like aerobic respiration this is a process of producing energy
when there is no supply of oxygen.
Respiration is an energy releasing pathway, do you agree? Justify

Respiration versus combustion
Lavoisier around the late 18thcentury, through a series of carefully
performed experiments, came to the opinion that respiration was a process
like combustion. He wrote in a compilation in 1783, “respiration is a

combustion process. It is a very slow process and here oxygen is not only
combines with carbon but also with hydrogen.” Robinson also stated that
respiration is a type of combustion and combustion is the source of heat
in animals.
