Title:
Respiration-Fermentation in Yeast

Aim:
To study the different of solution affect the gas forms during fermentation in yeast.

Procedure:
Refer to Lab manual

Result:

Questions:
1. Yes.
2. Sucrose.
3. When no oxygen the ATP will be produce.
4. Brewery.
5. Aerobic glucose and aerobic glucose oxygen.
6. CO2 and aerobic water.
7. CO2 and aerobic ethanol.

Conclusion:
The purpose of this experiment is to determine sucrose gas form during fermentation with yeast is the most CO2. Sucrose did better than glucose because glucose is the simplest sugar and was there more as a control. Sucrose will produce the most CO2 because it is a complex sugar than the most sugar. Thus, sucrose is a good substrate for fermentation.

Discussion:
The data cannot be 100% reliable since it is difficult to measure the exact amount of CO2. Because the gas forms during fermentation will at the middle of the pipette.
Possible Errors:
The wrong amount of solution affected the gas level (mL) the pipette not fill enough of yeast solution affected the gas level (mL)

    The main objective of this lab is to see if the rate of cellular respiration will be affected if we change the food source from glucose to three different experimental variables (fructose, sucrose, lactose). Cellular Respiration is a process that generates ATP and it involves the complete breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide and water. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can all be used as fuels in cellular respiration, but glucose is most commonly used as an example to examine the reactions and pathways involved. Cellular Respiration can be divided into three metabolic processes; Glycolysis that occurs in the cytoplasm, Krebs cycle that takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria, and Oxidative phosphorylation that occurs via the electron…

    Baker 's yeast enzymes convert sugar to ethanol and carbon dioxide. Baker 's yeast is cultivated from the strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae because of its superior fermentation abilities. The yeast propagates in pure culture using special culture media comprised of melasse and other ingredients. With respect to their metabolism baker ' yeasts are facultative anaerobe. They can ferment or respire depending upon environmental conditions. In the presence of oxygen respiration takes place, without oxygen present, fermentation occurs. Fermentation is a process by which a living cell, such as…

    The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effect of brown sugar on the amount of CO2. To do this, white sugar was replaced with brown sugar and the amount of CO2 produced was calculated with a vernier gas pressure sensor. The control group was yeast and white sugar and the experimental group was yeast and brown sugar. The hypothesis that if brown sugar and yeast are mixed, then it will produce more CO2 than a mixture of white granulated sugar and yeast was accepted. The white sugar and yeast mixture had a slope of .003254 kPa/s. The brown sugar and yeast mixture had a slope of .0182 kPa/s. This means that the brown sugar mixture produced more CO2. The brown sugar mixture also started to produce CO2 at around 100 seconds. The white…

    The aim of our investigation is to find out whether the use of different sugar isomers with yeast, will affect the rate at which the yeast respires at. The sugars to be tested are fructose, galactose, glucose, lactose and sucrose. Their effects on the respiration rate of yeast to be observed through the measurement (cm3) of the displaced water, which will tell us how much CO2 has been respired over 2 minutes. To compare the effects an average will be calculated for each and a result will be drawn from which we can draw a conclusion as to the effects, if any, of different isomers of sugar, on the respiration rate of yeast.…

    Some knowledge that is needed before performing this lab are as follows: First of all, cellular respiration is the metabolic processes whereby certain organisms obtain energy from organic molecules. This process includes glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain. Glycolysis is a process that takes place in te cytosol and it oxidizes glucose into two pyruvate. Glycolysis also makes ATP and NADH. The Krebs Cycle occurs in the mitochondria and this process takes the pyruvate and breaks it down into carbon dioxide. But it also produces 3 CO2, 1 ATP, 1 FADH2, and 4 NADH. The electron transport chain takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane nd creates H+ gradients and 36 ATP from glucose (Campbell, 2008).…

    Fermentation is the production of ATP which occurs in the absence of oxygen. For this experiment, S. cerevisiae as well as S. epidermidis were utilized. My S. cerevisiae experiment was noted to have fermented all three carbohydrates used: glucose(AG), fructose(AG), Mannitol(-). With my experiment of S. cerevisiae: glucose(AG), fructose(AG), mannitol(A)…

    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 dioxide is produced. This lab focuses on studying the rate of cellular respiration of saccharomyces cerevisiae, baker’s yeast, in an aerobic environment with glucose, sucrose, lactose, artificial sweetener, and water as a negative control. A CO2 Gas Sensor Probe is used to measure the amount carbon dioxide produced as the cellular respiration occurs which is proportional to how much of the molecule is decomposed. For this experiment water is used as a treatment control to provide a baseline for all the other treatments. To ensure the validity of the experiment, the amount of time the yeast was exposed to the sugars, the designated pipets for each sugar, the amount of sugar tested, and the temperature of the yeast culture were monitored to be the same throughout the experiment.…

    The experiment was conducted to determine the impact different yeast amounts had on yeast fermentation. It was hypothesized that the more yeast added the more CO2 would be produced. The carbon dioxide production was measured in the fermentation of yeast with solution of no yeast in test tube 1, 1mL yeast in test tube 2, and 3mL of yeast in test tube 3 over a period of twenty minutes. All of the yeast amounts produced CO2, but test tube 3 was the most efficient of the three.…

    Living organisms catabolize organic molecules within their cells and use the energy released to manufacture ATP by phosphorylating ADP. Many prokaryotes and virtually all Eukaryotes phosphorylate ADP either through fermentation (anaerobic) or respiration (aerobic). Both of these processes involve oxidation of foodstuffs, yet only the latter requires oxygen.…

    9) My prediction had been that the test tube with 10% of sucrose inside of it would make the most amount of carbon dioxide. My hypothesis was correct, and the size was gradually increasing throughout the lab. At the end it was the biggest, so after 1440 minutes, the 10% test tube was the only solution that had visible bubbles of carbon dioxide. After 1440 minutes there were no carbon…
