In the yeast discovery lab we had to decided what the outcome would be then perform the experiment. The experiment was done during class time‚ so everyone’s results would be the same. There were four bottles with warm water in them and to those bottles were added yeast. Then to one of each bottle there was added sugar‚ corn syrup‚ corn starch. To the fourth bottle there was only yeast added and used as a control group. Balloons were then stretched onto the top of the bottles to catch any gas the

alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation. In alcohol fermentation‚ pyruvate (product of glucose in glycolysis) is converted to 2 molecules of ethanol (C2H5OH) and 2 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) while in lactic acid fermentation‚ pyruvate is reduced directly into lactic acid (Campbell and Reece‚ 2008). A good example of organism which produces ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide through the process of alcohol fermentation is yeast (Madur‚ 2009). As a unicellular fungus‚ yeast is also

Methods: An observation was made on whether or not the sugars‚ fructose and ribose would be fermented in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). By looking at the chemical structures of these sugars given in (Figure 1)‚ we looked for anything that might determine the metabolization of these sugars. An equal 6mL (milliliter) sample of 2.5% fructose and yeast suspension was pipetted into a fermentation tube. The same procedure above was performed with the sugar ribose which has a concentration of 2.5%

The structural features of carbohydrates account for the fact that a wide variety of polysaccharides exist is pentoses and hexoses. The examples of pentose are ribose‚ deoxyribose‚ ribulose and xylulose. The examples of hexose are glucose which is found in fruits‚ fructose which is found in milk and galactose which is found in honey. Both pentoses and hexoses are mostly found in monosaccharides. They are the most simplest sugar which cannot be futher hydrolysed into smaller units. They contain

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

Fermentation is a process performed by cells in the absence of oxygen to produce small amounts of ATP. During this process the six-carbon sugar glucose is broken down into two molecules of the three-carbon organic acid‚ pyruvic acid‚ coupled with the transfer of chemical energy to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Fermentation is used by many producers to make many of the commodities which we are used to today. Some of these commodities include yogurt‚ cheese‚ wine‚ bread‚ beer‚ rum‚ and even

Yeast which is also known as Saccharomyces Cerevisiae is a unicellular eukaryotic Fungi means that is made up of one cell with a nucleus(“What is Yeast”).Yeast is a very practical product that is used in mainy way like when baking Yeast helps raise the dough and also yeast is used in the process of making wine.The Reason why yeast was chosen to was to see how yeast can metabolize different sugars and how much Co2 they release when when metabolizing.To test the yeast at the lab we used 4 different

Using Selective Media to Monitor the Fermentation Process of Cabbage and Cucumber‚ for Fourteen Days Abstract: Introduction: The goal of the ecological succession lab is to demonstrate succession with the fermentation of cabbage and cucumbers. The cabbage will ferment into sauerkraut and the cucumber will ferment to pickles during fermentation process that will changes the species structure and the community of time. During the fermentation process we watched the pH become more acidic‚ since

normal circumstances. Explain this treatment in terms of what you know about examples of enzymatic reactions. 5. (4 pts) The number of structurally different polysaccharides that can be made with 20 different monosaccharides is far greater than the number of different polypeptides that can be made with 20 different amino acids even though both polymers contain an equal number of 100 total residues. Is the statement true or false? Explain your reasoning.
