Questions asked by users might not always be phrased in the clearest way.

In an experiment where they put yeast to 4 bottles with 1 cup of warm water then they also add different serving of sugar to the three bottles and only the bottle with sugar in it has the balloon inflated, the question is what makes the balloon expand or inflate

Accepted Answer

The inflation of the balloon is due to the production of carbon dioxide gas by the yeast as it ferments the sugar. Yeast consumes sugar and releases carbon dioxide gas. The carbon dioxide gas inflates the balloon.
