“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 : Measuring the rate of oxygen uptake. Objectives : 1. To demonstrate the uptake of oxygen in respiration. 2. To measure the rate at which an organism respires. 3. To learn how to set up the apparatus for respirometers. Introduction : Respirometer A respirometer is a device that been used to measure the rate of respiration of a living organism. This can be measured by calculating the rate of exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. A simple respirometer designed to measure oxygen

Mark Duanmu‚ Rika Fujita‚ Alex Chung October 8‚ 2011 Biology (Honors) P7 Gill 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

Lab 04: Sugar Respiration in Yeast Sugars are vital to all living organisms. The eukaryotic fungi‚ yeast‚ have the ability to use some‚ but not all sugars as a food source by metabolizing sugar in two ways‚ aerobically‚ with the aid of oxygen‚ or anaerobically‚ without oxygen. The decomposition reaction that takes place when yeast breaks down the hydrocarbon molecules is called cell respiration. As the aerobic respiration breaks down glucose to form viable ATP‚ oxygen gas is consumed and carbon

Catalase Lab Purpose: To observe the effects of hydrogen peroxide on living tissue and non-living materials‚ showing the presence or absence of catalase as observed by the presences of bubbles. Hypothesis: If we pour H2O2 on certain substances‚ the catalase will break down and bubbles will appear at the surface. Data table: Name | Time | Observation | Raw Potato | 1 min. 30 sec. | Slow reaction‚ barley any bubbles. | Raw Liver | 5 min. 30 sec. | Extremely fast reaction‚ very foamy‚ Big

launch a reaction or speed it up. Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms exposed to oxygen. It is a very important enzyme in protecting the cell from oxidative damage by reactive oxygen species (ROS). The catalase used in this experiment will come from five different sources: Spinacia oleracea (Spinach)‚ Brassica oleracea (Broccoli)‚ Solanum tuberosum (Russet Potato)‚ Malus domestica (Apple)‚ and Allium cepa (Onion). The five different catalases from the sources will all be used

* Would yeast produce more carbon dioxide with the presence of sugar at room temperature or in an incubator? | -Observing Cellular respiration in yeast cells. | Yeast Lab Background Information: Yeast is a tiny unicellular fungus that obtains energy from outside sources (a heterotroph) mostly sugars in order to grow and reproduce. Yeast is often used in bread dough to make the dough rise. With the presence of oxygen a yeast cell creates energy by performing cellular respiration and
