Answer:

The yeast respired aerobically

Explanation:

The expectation here was that the yeast was going to put the sugar in the grape juice through fermentation, which is an anaerobic process that results in alcohol as one of the products. However since no alcohol was found in this particular example, it is fair to assume that maybe there was oxygen in teh muxture and therefore the yeast respired aerobically, producing water and carbon dioxide as products.
