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

Yeasts’ capability of undergoing ethanol fermentation‚ its ability to ferment other sugars and artificial sweeteners‚ and how lactase influences yeasts ability to use lactose as a food source Kristina Naydenova Father Michael Goetz Purpose Part A: To investigate whether yeast has the ability to ferment glucose to produce carbon dioxide gas and ethanol. Part B: To investigate whether yeast has the ability to ferment other sugars and artificial sweeteners and how lactase influences their

ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION IN YEAST AIM: See the effect of temperature in anaerobic respiration of yeast by counting carbon dioxide bubbles. HYPHOTESIS: Anaerobic respiration in yeast will decrease as temperature increases. VARIABLES: Independent: Temperature Dependent: Rate of anaerobic respiration in yeast Fix: Volume of sugar solution (40ml) ‚ Concentration of sugar solution‚ yeast mass (2g)‚ volume of solution of yeast & sugar all together (20ml) MATERIALS: Delivering tube 2 test tubes

Aerobic respiration in yeast Research question: What was the effect of anaerobic respiration in different environments determined the increase in size of a dough by the temperature? Hypothesis: It is hypothesized that if the temperature increases the dough will become bigger and bigger. Independent variable: (change) • Temperature • Height of the dough Dependent variable: (doesn’t change) • Amount of vegetable oil • Time • Volume of yeast solution Control variables: Variable

Optimal Level of Sugar for Yeast to Produce the Largest Volume of CO2? Purpose The purpose of this lab is to determine whether there is an optimal level of sugar added to well water for the added yeast to produce the largest volume of carbon dioxide. Background Information What is yeast? Yeast‚ whose scientific name is Saccharomyces Cerevisiae‚ are single-celled organisms that are a part of the fungi group. Yeast is very capable of alcoholic fermentation‚ where yeast cells primarily break down

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

What is yeast? To most people yeast is just something that is in the food that we eat; However to the scientific community yeast is much more then that. According to the Dictionary of Student Science yeast is a one-celled fungi that can cause the fermentation of carbohydrates‚ producing carbon dioxide and alcohol. ( ) Yeasts are found in the soil‚ in water‚ on the surface of plants‚ and on the skin of humans and other animals. Like other fungi‚ yeasts obtain food from the organic matter around

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 to
