An investigation into the effects of sugar concentration on yeast activity Introduction: Yeasts are eukaryotic micro organisms belonging to the kingdom fungi. Yeasts live on sugars and produce ethanol and carbon dioxide as by-products. [James Mallory‚ 1984]When Yeasts are given water and sucrose they convert the sucrose into glucose then convert the glucose into carbon dioxide and ethanol following the following reaction: C₆H₁₂O₆ ( 2(C₂H₅OH + CO₂ [Brady Burkhart‚ Terrell Grayson and Eric Kimler

Science Coursework Trypsin Investigation Aim I am going to prove that temperature effects the rate in which the enzyme Trypsin breaks down milk substrate into amino acids. Investigation "We strongly recommend the use of Vanish Stain Removal Tablets in conjunction with a 900 spin wash at 70°C" This was found on a milk carton of a well-known drinks company‚ Nesquick. The major food group constituent of milk is‚ of course‚ milk. For my Science Investigation‚ I am going to test different temperatures

such as fructose. The enzyme helps a chemical reaction take place quickly so that the reaction happens properly. In order for that to happen the enzymes process by the lock and key model‚ the lock is the substrate and the enzyme is the key. The active sites are specific to a certain substrate of a molecule‚ so the enzymes only have one job to do. The shape of an enzyme is not changed or consumed during these reactions. However‚ without enzymes the reactions would take too long and would not breakdown

Effect of Substrate Choice On Growth Of Mealworms Abstract: The experiment is designed to show which substrate A or B will better nourish a mealworm. A mealworm was placed in each substrate for a period of seven days and the change in mass from Day 1 to Day 7 was compared. The data was compiled and statistically analyzed. The experiment failed to reject the null hypotheses that there would be no difference in the two substrates regarding meal worm growth

I then decided on the range of results and temperatures I was to investigate. I decided to observe 20º‚ 30º‚ 40º‚ 50º‚ 60º‚ 70º and 80º. 3. Next‚ I label each test tube with the temperature to be investigated and then added 2.5cm3 of Trypsin solution. 4. I ensured that I cut the necessary pieces of film using a ruler and a pair of scissors

The enzymes meant to digest your food and nourish you turned on you and started eating your body instead. In your bloodstream was a virus that was very specific to Alpha-1 Antitrypsin‚ the substance that inactivates Trypsin‚ Chymotrypsin‚ and Neutrophil Elastase. I know that’s all Chinese to you but you’ll soon understand. I decided to play a game with you‚ the same way you played games with me. I decided to trick your body into thinking it was doing what it was supposed

An experiment to investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction of the Enzyme Trypsin. Aim: This investigation was on the effect temperature has on the rate that the enzyme trypsin hydrolyses its substrate‚ a protein found in milk (casein). This investigation was conducted under controlled conditions‚ the temperature being the changeable variable. Trypsin and its substrate (powdered milk which is a source of the protein casein) were heated in a water bath. The contents of the two

Introduction: This experiment was used to examine the hypothesis that: Osmosis is dependent on the concentrations of the substances involved. Diffusion is the passage of solute molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration (Campbell & Reece‚ 2005). An example is ammonia diffusing throughout a room. A solute is one of two components in a chemical solution. The solute is the substance dissolved in the solution. The solvent‚ the other component‚ is any liquid in
