understand the process of fermentation of yeast in different concentrations of sucrose. The experiment worked with yeast and sugar (sucrose and glucose) to determine the rate of fermentation by testing the pressure of C02 in the test tube. The experiment tested the metabolic capability of yeast anaerobically meaning no oxygen was present (this was ensured by the thin layer of oil on the top of the solution). This means that the metabolic rate of the yeast could be determined by testing the pressure in the

The importance of carbohydrates in living organisms Carbohydrates contain carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio of 1.2.1.. There are many different types of carbohydrate‚ all of which are useful to living organisms. The most important carbohydrate is probable glucose. Glucose is a monosaccharide and is the monomer unit which makes up more complex polysaccharides. Two glucose molecules can be joined in a condensation reaction‚ whereby water is removed‚ for example to produce maltose‚ a disaccharide

Pre-lab 1: Identifying Carbohydrates Abstract The point of this lab is to determine if a substance contains carbohydrates such as a reducing sugar and/or polysaccharides. This will be done by using Benedict’s reagent and Iodine stain tests. Benedict’s reagent will react to reducing substances in the solution by oxidizing it and changing the structure of the reducing sugar to form a colored precipitate. The color of this precipitate can be used to determine the concentration of reducing sugars in

what are carbohydrates and what is the function of carbohydrates in the body? And secondly‚ what is meant by a low carb diabetic diet? The function of carbohydrates is to provide your body with it’s main source of energy. Your body will either use that energy straight away or store it for later. Carbohydrates are recognised as one of the most important influences on blood sugar levels. Many people with diabetes have found that eating a low carb diabetic diet helps them to control

Through this investigation we found no effect in carbohydrate mouth rinsing on exercise performance. On the contrary to our hypothesis‚ there was no significant difference in distance cycled between those who carbohydrate mouth rinsed and the control (Fig. 1.). In addition‚ we also found that there was no significant difference in HR throughout the entire investigation between treatment groups (Fig. 2.). These exercise performance results is inconsistent with those results obtained by Carter et

Abstract: Antibiotics are among the most frequently prescribed medications in modern medicine. Antibiotics cure disease by killing bacteria and keeping them from reproducing. Penicillin was the first antibiotic‚ discovered accidentally from a mold culture. Presently‚ over 100 different antibiotics are available in the market to cure minor discomforts as well as lifethreatening infections. Antibiotics are very useful in a wide variety of infections‚ but they only treat bacterial infections. Antibiotics

Carbohydrate loading is a high-carb eating plan made to maximize energy levels and performance. It’s a process designed to saturate muscle cells with glycogen allowing athletes to perform longer before fatiguing. Carbohydrate loading has its positives and negative outcomes. The pros maximizing energy levels and performance in different scenarios are: 1) for women‚ carb loading is more effective during the luteal phase rather than the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle. It’s more effective

We have four important macromolecules; carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids. From these four‚ the macromolecule I chose for this assignment was carbohydrate. Carbohydrates branch off into three main categories; monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ and polysaccharides. I decided to focus on disaccharides‚ specifically sucrose. Sucrose is more commonly known as table sugar. It has a chemical formula of C12H22O11. It is physically described as a white‚ odorless (although when heated‚ it may
