Suppose you use bottles and balloons to run an experiment to measure the amount of metabolism by yeast. One of your bottles has black coffee and yeast, with a balloon sealing the top of the bottle. After 3 hours, you note that the balloon has not inflated at all. What is the most likely reason that it did not inflate

The yeast was not able to metabolize the sugar in black coffee and so, no carbon dioxide was produced.

What is the product of the action of glucose on yeast?

Yeast metabolizes sugar or glucose to produce alcohol and carbon dioxide.

The carbon dioxide produced is responsible for the raising action of yeast on dough and for the inflation of the balloon.

In the experiment, the possible reason why the balloon did not inflate is that the yeast was not able to metabolize the sugar in black coffee and so, no carbon dioxide was produced.
