Question

1. which evidence - based claim is best supported by the balloon inflation observed in the yeast lab? 1 a. oxygen caused the balloon to inflate as it was absorbed. b. water vapor was produced by the yeast to fill the balloon. c. carbon dioxide was released as a product of respiration. d. nitrogen entered the balloon from the environment.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall yeast respiration

Yeast undergoes anaerobic respiration.

Step2: Identify product

Anaerobic respiration in yeast produces carbon - dioxide gas. This gas fills the balloon and causes it to inflate.

Answer:

c. Carbon dioxide was released as a product of respiration.
