Fermentation is a process which converts glucose into ethanol with the help of small micro organisms called yeast.

Certain predictions can be made which will be supported by the results of experiment:

- It is an anaerobic process which means fermentation occurs in the absence of oxygen.

- Fermentation results in the production of carbon dioxide.

- Along with ethanol, there will be some by-products such as glycerin will produce.

- Since it is an anaerobic process, it will take microbes some time to process to ferment.

- The fermentation will take place in a closed air tight jar with no oxygen availability.
