hypotheses based on predictions questions. First‚ yeast will metabolize sugar and produce a gas. This is because yeast is a living organism and all living organisms like yeast must use energy (such as sugar) to obtain energy. Yeast will metabolize sugar and gives off carbon dioxide as a by-product. For the second hypothesis‚ we were expecting that yeast will produce a gas when sugar is available. For the third hypothesis‚ we did not expect yeast to produce a gas when no sugar or other food is available

Biology Lab Report Investigating Alcoholic Fermentation and the Affects of Yeast on Dough Aim: The aim was simply to investigate whether or not yeast had any affect on causing dough to rise when baked and to experiment with alcoholic fermentation eg. to see if it gave off carbon dioxide. Introduction: Following a few weeks of fermentation theory‚ groups of three to four were assigned and told to conduct a series of experiments involving the affects of fermentation. My group consisted of

“Investigate the factors affecting the rate of yeast respiration” Lab Report Introduction The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of different amounts of a substrate on the respiration rate of yeast and to compare this to the effect of different amounts of glucose on the rate of yeast respiration. The substrate which I chose to further investigate was fructose. Fructose is a fruit sugar which is one of the three‚ along with glucose and galactose‚ dietary monosaccharides that

Title: Confirming the Presence of Fermentation in the Conversion of Milk to Kefir Authors: Michael Ahrens‚ Nicholas Fiore‚ Garrett Hages‚ Melissa Cullom University of Kansas‚ Biol 402‚ Fall 2014‚ 3:00pm room 6040 Abstract: In this experiment milk was fermented into Kefir‚ then a series of tests were used to confirm that fermentation actually occurred. The tests used to confirm the fermentation were a gas production test‚ pH test‚ Gram stain‚ and turbidity test. The results showed during the conversion

Factors Affecting Fermentation of Glucose by Yeast Introduction: Fermentation is anaerobic respiration whereby food is altered into more simple compounds and energy in the form of chemicals is produced‚ an example being adenosine triphosphate (biology-online.org/dictionary/Fermentation). All this occurs with the lack of atmospheric oxygen. At the end of the day alcohol and carbon dioxide are the end products when yeast is used in the fermentation procedure. But end products like acetic acid

examine the rate of alcoholic fermentation using various carbohydrates. Hypothesis: If the yeast is placed in 5% glucose or sucrose solutions‚ then carbon dioxide production will increase over time. If boiled yeast is placed in a 5% sucrose solution‚ then carbon dioxide production will remain constant. Variables Independent variable: Carbohydrate solutions (5% solutions of glucose and sucrose) and boiled yeast Dependent variable: Rate of reaction of alcoholic fermentation as calculated by size of

ANAEROBIC AND AEROBIC METABOLISM Lab 5 BCEM 341 – Winter 2014 Nebojsa Kuljic 10066717 Partner: Kendra Skalyn B02 Introduction Cells of all organisms can obtain energy through the combustion of sugars‚ either in the presence of oxygen (Aerobically) or without oxygen (Anaerobically). The purpose of this experiment was to perform a quantitative investigation of the differences between Anaerobic and Aerobic metabolism using pea seedlings and yeast organisms [1].

strove to determine how effective different sugars were in fermentation by measuring their CO2 emissions. An increased CO2 production implies the substrate is undergoing glycolysis more often‚ resulting in increased ATP synthesis. For a more accurate interpretation of the results‚ glucose acted as a positive control‚ displaying the most efficiency in fermentation as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2‚ while ethanol‚ which is a byproduct of fermentation‚ acted as a negative control‚ producing no CO2. These

ABSTRACT The hypothesis which states that the simpler the nature of substrate‚ the faster the rate of cellular respiration of yeast was tested using the smith fermentation tube method. The experiment used six smith fermentation tubes‚ distilled water and sugar substrates. It composed of six set-ups which used 15ml of 10% yeast suspension‚ 15 ml distilled water and 15 ml of their assigned sugar substrate namely: starch‚ lactose‚ sucrose glucose and fructose respectively. Set-up six was the
