    Fermentation is a process performed by cells in the absence of oxygen to produce small amounts of ATP. During this process the six-carbon sugar glucose is broken down into two molecules of the three-carbon organic acid‚ pyruvic acid‚ coupled with the transfer of chemical energy to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Fermentation is used by many producers to make many of the commodities which we are used to today. Some of these commodities include yogurt‚ cheese‚ wine‚ bread‚ beer‚ rum‚ and even

Alcohol Fermentation- ethanol is fancy word for alcohol. Alcohol fermentation is alcohol + CO2 O2 Aerobic * Respiration * Mitochondria * Matrix – Krebs Cycle – C6 – gives you 2 more ATP * Innermembrane- ETS – 34 ATP Mitochondria is only involved in the presence of oxygen. * Must know pyruvate for the test.

    Design: Investigation of Fermentation Introduction Introduction Yeast (Saccharomyces)is a single-celled microorganism in the Fungi family. It anaerobically respires sugars to produce ATP‚ as well as the waste products ethanol and carbon dioxide gas. This process is known as fermentation. There are various factors that affect the rate at which yeast respires. Aim To investigate the effect of concentration of table salt (sodium chloride) on the rate of fermentation of sucrose using yeast‚ measured

    A molecule of water consists of one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms joined by covalent bonds. Water as a liquid is vital to existence and plays extremely important roles in many aspects of both plant and animal lives. These aspects include temperature control‚ support‚ chemical reactions‚ transport and protection. Without the ability to control our temperature‚ we as humans would not be able to survive in our natural environment. If our internal body temperature was to rise or fall even a few degrees

    Role of energy in the body There are six main forms of energy- Chemicals Heat Electrical Light Nuclear Sound Energy can be measured or expressed by joules or unites of hear (kilocalorie). 1 kilocalorie= 4.184 kilojoules. Sources of energy- Protein 1g= 4 kcal Carbohydrate 1g= 4 kcal Fats 1g= 9 kcal In our bodies we need energy we need energy for everything we do‚ move our muscles‚ talk etc. Without energy we wouldn’t be able to do anything‚ energy is needed for our bodies to function

    Caleb Campbell Larger Amounts of Sugar Result In Greater Fermentation Rates Introduction: This experiment was conducted to find out if using larger amounts of sugar in a water-yeast solution would cause higher rates of fermentation. Fermentation is an anaerobic (without oxygen) cellular process in which organic foods are converted into simpler compounds‚ and chemical energy (ATP) is produced (Biology-Online.org‚ 2008). Fermentation is a natural occurring process that humans have used and controlled

    Bacterial Fermentation Secondary article Article Contents Volker Mu¨ller‚ Ludwig-Maximilians-Universita¨t Mu¨nchen‚ Munich‚ Germany . Introduction Under anaerobic conditions‚ in the dark and in the absence of electron acceptors‚ organic compounds are catabolized by strictly anaerobic or facultatively anaerobic bacteria by internally balanced oxidation–reduction reactions‚ a process called fermentation. In fermentation‚ the organic compound serves as both electron donor and acceptor‚ and adenosine

    Yogurt Fermentation Yogurt is made by lactic acid fermentation. The main (starter) cultures in yogurt are Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. The function of the starter cultures is to ferment lactose (milk sugar) to produce lactic acid. The increase in lactic acid decreases pH and causes the milk to clot‚ or form the soft gel that is characteristic of yogurt. The fermentation of lactose also produces the flavor compounds that are characteristic of yogurt. Lactobacillus

    Oxygen in Liquids (DISSOLVED OXYGEN) Dissolved Oxygen – the amount of dissolved oxygen in a body of water as an indication of the degree of the health of water and its ability to support a balanced aquatic ecosystem. Oxygen – is a clear‚ colorless‚ odorless‚ and tasteless gas that dissolves in water. Small but important amounts of it are dissolved in water. OXYGEN: Aquatic Life Depends on it Plants and Animals depend on dissolved oxygen for survival. Lack of dissolved oxygen can cause aquatic
