THE CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF LIVING MATTER Relevant IB topic: T3 Time: 2 hours BACKGROUND The principal chemical constituents of living matter are: water‚ mineral salts‚ organic compounds such as carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ lipids‚ nucleic acids. In this exercise we shall concentrate on carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and we shall estimate the concentration of Vitamin C‚ an organic compound‚ in a solution‚ by the

Lab Design Research question: How does temperature affect on the rate of photosynthesis? Variables: Independent variables: temperature of water where the elodea(plant) is going to be placed Dependent variable: the amount of oxygen produced by photosynthesis reaction Control variables: Light concentration entering the beaker Length of the plant Volume of the water to be precise And of the NaHCO3 What is the variable to be controlled. Why does it need to be controlled. How will you

October 12th 2014! The Effect of Glucose on The Cellular Respiration of Yeast! Purpose: ! The purpose of this lab is to determine if the quantity glucose solution will increase or decrease the rate at which cellular respiration occurs at within the tested 20% yeast suspension.! Question:! What are the effects of increasing or decreasing the quantity of 0.06mol/L glucose solution on the cellular respiration within the tested yeast molecules?! Hypothesis: ! When the quantity of glucose solution is increased

Making Bread with Yeast By Rebecca Coles Introduction Bread is such a common food‚ who would expect it to be made in such a fascinating and clever way? A simple loaf contains just four main ingredients; flour (the main ingredient)‚ warm water (the yeast prefer the water warm)‚ salt and of course the yeast‚ tiny microscopic fungi that help the bread rise. Although fascinating the process is surprisingly simple; first‚ the flour‚ sugar and water is mixed together with yeast to make the bread

follows; 6H₂O + 6CO₂ C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂1 There are four variables that affect the rate of photosynthesis; light intensity‚ temperature‚ CO₂ and water.2 However‚ is it possible to count in the colour of light‚ too‚ which I am going to investigate in this lab. Since the photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts that has chlorophyll‚ the rate of photosynthesis can be affected by different colours of light‚ since the absorption of light changes within different colours. Research Question: What colour of

Ms. Lunsford Honors Chemistry 12/6/2011 Abstract Yeast is widely used for making bread‚ beer‚ and wine. People all over the world drink and eat those products. This projects looks at which fruit juice with a higher percentage of sugar will produce more fermentation. The original purpose of this experiment was to determine the amount of fermentation of 3 different fruit juices after adding a certain amount of yeast. By measuring the type of fruit juice (independent variable) the amount

Investigation 4.2: Factors Affecting Viscosity Question How does changing the temperature (°C) of glycerin affect the viscosity s -1 of glycerin (l)‚ when tested by dropping a marble from a constant height into the glycerin (l) and timed with a stopwatch until the marble hits the bottom? Design Independent Variable: The independent variable of this experiment is the temperature (°C) of the glycerin (l). Dependent Variable: The dependent variable of this experiment is the viscosity s -1 of the glycerin

IB HL BIOLOGY Dialysis Lab: Exploring Osmosis and Diffusion Through A Membrane Introduction: Dialysis is the flow of certain solutes through a semi permeable membrane. Dialysis is usually used on patients with failing kidneys to clinically purify blood in their kidneys‚ or other regions of their bodies. The dialysate contains waste matter that flows from the blood our of the dialysis tubing. Question/aim of lab: To test the solutions inside and outside the dialysis tubing with Benedict’s
