Which kind of yeast ,young or old, is bigger?
I gave you the link yesterday. Didn't you see it? Old yeast is bigger.

yes, i did read the source you gave me. But maybe it was my carelessness to see the information that "the older is bigger." For all the stuff I read was about how scientists insisting in finding aging genes with the help of yeast. Sorry again, but thanks a lot!:)
To determine if young or old yeast is bigger, you would need to have a sample of both types of yeast to observe and compare their sizes. Here's how you can do that:
1. Obtain both young and old yeast samples: Start by acquiring a fresh yeast culture from a reputable source or make your own yeast culture by activating dry yeast. Once you have the fresh yeast, you will need to age a portion of it to create an "old" yeast sample. This can be done by keeping the yeast culture in a controlled environment for a specific period of time, such as a week or two.
2. Prepare microscope slides: Spread a thin layer of a suitable mounting medium, such as water or a specialized yeast staining solution, on a microscope slide.
3. Observe and compare yeast sizes: Using a sterile technique, transfer a small amount of young yeast cells onto one slide and old yeast cells onto another slide. Ensure that the yeast solution is evenly spread out on the slide.
4. Microscopic examination: Place each slide under a microscope at a low magnification (around 100-400x). Carefully observe the yeast cells on both slides, looking for differences in size between the young and old yeast.
5. Record and analyze the results: Take measurements of the individual yeast cells using the microscope's measuring scale or imaging software. Compare the sizes of the young and old yeast cells to determine if there are any noticeable differences.
Through this process, by comparing the sizes of young and old yeast cells under a microscope, you can determine which type of yeast is bigger.
