During the fermentation of sucrose to produce ethanol, many fermentation setups exhibit "bubbles" trapped in the vacuum adapters. Where did these "bubbles" come from? (Hint: What is a by-product of the fermentation?) A Oxygen is released during aerobic respiration. B Carbon dioxide is produced as a by-product of fermentation. C Nitrogen gas from the air is trapped in the system. D Water vapor from the heated fermentation mixture.
