18. Some friends are trying to make wine in their basement. They’ve added yeast to a sweet grape juice mixture
and have allowed the yeast to grow. After several days they find that the sugar levels in the grape juice have
dropped, but there’s no alcohol in the mixture. The most likely explanation is that
a. the mixture needs more sugar. Yeast need plenty of energy before they can begin to
produce alcohol.
b. the mixture needs less oxygen. Yeast only produce alcohol in the absence of oxygen.
c. the mixture needs more oxygen. Yeast need oxygen to break down sugar and get
enough energy to produce alcohol.
d.
the mixture needs less sugar. High sugar concentrations stimulate cellular respiration,
and alcohol is not a by-product of cellular respiration.

the mixture needs more carbon dioxide. Yeast need CO2 for photosynthesis, and alcohol is
a by product.
