Student V and student W wanted to do metabolism experiments with student V doing a fermentation experiment and student W doing an aerobic respiration experiment. Student V put yeast, sucrose, and water in 6 test tubes with balloons tied to the top of each test tube (to capture any gas given off) and put the test tubes in water baths at the following temperatures (in degrees Centigrade): 0, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 100. After 45 minutes, student V noted that there was no inflation of the balloon in the first tube, a little in the second tube, and then an increasing amount of inflation until the last tube in which there was no inflation.   Explain the results of Student V’s experiment.
