Fermentation: What Is Anaerobic Respiration?

Yeast is used to produce food and drinks through the process of fermentation. Fermentation is anaerobic respiration by microorganisms like yeast that breaks down sugars into ethanol, carbon dioxide, and energy. This process is used to make bread, beer, and wine. Yeast feeds off sugar in dough or other substrates, producing carbon dioxide that makes the product rise and ethanol as a byproduct.

LO: To describe how yeast is used to produce food and drink

What is anaerobic respiration?


It is the release of energy without oxygen
State the word equation for anaerobic
respiration in humans

Lesson 1 – Aerobic Respiration

Lesson 2 – Anaerobic respiration

Lesson 3 – Fermentation

Lesson 4 – Investigating Fermentation


Fungi
Fungi (singular: fungus) are micro-organisms,
e.g. yeast, mould, and mushroom.
Food and drink production
Yeast is used to make food like bread, and drinks
like beer and wine through fermentation.
Fermentation

Fermentation is the process


by which microorganisms
break down sugars through
anaerobic respiration.

This process can be used to


make bread, beer and wine.
Making bread

Bread dough contains


flour, water, sugar and
yeast.

The yeast feeds off the


sugar (glucose) and
respires anaerobically.
This process is called
fermentation.
Making bread

glucose ethanol + carbon dioxide + energy

Anaerobic respiration
produces bubbles of
carbon dioxide gas
which makes the dough
rise.
Making bread
The dough is then baked. In the oven, the
ethanol evaporates. The bubbles of gas expand,
making the bread rise further.
Making bread
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the yeast used
to make bread
Match each keyword to its description

carbon dioxide released so organism can survive

ethanol evaporates in the oven

glucose makes bread rise

energy microorganism used to make bread


Making alcohol

Yeast is also used to produce alcohol.

glucose ethanol + carbon dioxide + energy

Ethanol is the scientific name for alcohol.


Making alcohol
There are two types of alcohol produced during
fermentation:

1. Beer
2. Wine

The type of alcoholic drink produced depends


on the source of sugar.
Making beer

glucose ethanol + carbon dioxide + energy

Beer is produced when


yeast is used to
ferment sugar in
malted barley. This is
known as brewing.

Making wine

Wine is produced
when yeast is used
to ferment sugar
from grapes.

Task
Cider is an alcoholic drink
made from apples. Explain how
cider can be produced and
ready to be stored in bottles
for distribution.

Keywords: apples, crush,


glucose, yeast, ferment,
anaerobic respiration, ethanol,
oxygen, particles, filter
Temperature

At what
temperature is
the rate of
fermentation the
fastest?
Temperature
Enzymes present in
the yeast speed up
fermentation,
making the reaction
occur faster.

The enzymes work


best in a warm
environment.
