Fermentation Lab: Conclusion & Evaluation of the Effect of Type of Carbohydrate on Amount of CO2 Produced IB Biology/Topic: 3.7 05 February 2013 Question: Which type of carbohydrate‚ glucose‚ sucrose‚ or starch‚ will produce the greatest amount of fermentation over the class period? Why? Hypothesis: If the carbohydrate starch is added to the set up of yeast‚ then it will create the greatest amount of fermentation because starch is a polysaccharides

Yeats Fermentation Lab Investigative Question: How does the sugar concentration affect the fermentation of yeast? Hypothesis: The percentage of sugar in a solution is directly proportional to the amount of produced CO2‚ as a result of Yeast fermentation. Data table: Amount of CO2 measured in cm. (Bubble length) | Trial | Percentage of sugar in solution | | | 0% | 5% | 10% | 15% | 20% | | 1 | 0 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0.3 | 3.1 | | 2 | 0 | 0.3 | 1.3 | 0.4 | 5 | | 3 | 0 | 0.2 |

Increased production of CO2 is a result of increased temperatures acceleration of the rate of fermentation. Abstract: We have tested the affects of increased temperature above room temperature on the rate of fermentation of yeast. We had 6 flasks filled with 6mL DI water‚ 2mL Yeast suspension and 6mL glucose of which 3 were at 25°C and 3 were at 37°C. The flasks at 37°C had each mixture pre-heated at 37°C for 2 minutes before being combined and then added to the flask where it was put into the

Of Sugar on Yeast Fermentation Lab Purpose: To measure and analyze the effects of various types and masses of sugar in an ethanol fermentation reaction with yeast. Introduction: Ethanol fermentation is a system in which hydrogen ions from NADH + H + are broken down in order to release the trapped energy and regenerate NAD+. In the absence of a mitochondria or oxygen ethanol is formed‚ which is typically found in bacteria and some yeast. Yeast fermentation has been used commercially

of this lab is to determine whether there is an optimal level of sugar added to well water for the added yeast to produce the largest volume of carbon dioxide. Background Information What is yeast? Yeast‚ whose scientific name is Saccharomyces Cerevisiae‚ are single-celled organisms that are a part of the fungi group. Yeast is very capable of alcoholic fermentation‚ where yeast cells primarily break down the sugars glucose‚ fructose‚ and sucrose. The two end products of this fermentation are carbon

Alcoholic Fermentation Lab Kylie Johnson 11-10-12 Introduction: Since we are regular human beings‚ of course we are going to consume a lot of energy in our lifetime. Most of the energy we consume comes from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are a nonrenewable resource‚ and we are using these non-reusable ones uncontrollably. This is why we need to use more renewable resources. A way that we could do that is by the alcoholic fermentation of ethanol. Ethanol is a byproduct in corn‚ and it is one product

Temperature and Yeast Fermentation Introduction: Saccharomyces cerevisiae‚ commonly known as baker’s yeast‚ is an key ingredient used mainly when baking bread or making alcoholic beverages. The main role of the yeast is to convert the sucrose into carbon dioxide (CO2) and ethanol. For example‚ when baking bread‚ the yeast ferments the sucrose within the dough and so CO2 and ethanol is released‚ causing the bread to rise and expand. It does this using enzymesAlso‚ during this fermentation process‚ because

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

Lab 6: Fermentation Introduction All heterotrophs go through the process of cellular respiration in order to make energy. To obtain the most energy per glucose cellular respiration is done by aerobic cellular respiration‚ but when no Oxygen is present fermentation is used. Fermentation is the anarobic process that most organisms and fungi use. It involves the breakdown of glucose into alcohol if no Oxygen is present. CO2 is also produced during this cycle. Temperature and environment can affect the
