Carbohydrates For my health project I did carbohydrates. They are the bodies energy source. Carbohydrates supply the body with the energy it needs to function. They are found almost exclusively in plant foods‚ such as fruits‚ vegetables‚ peas‚ and beans. Milk and milk products are the only foods derived from animals that contain a significant amount of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are divided into two groups‚ simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates‚ sometimes

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

effect that a glucose concentration has on the rate of fermentation. This was done by adding a variety of different glucose concentration into a test tube‚ siting in a water bath. The carbon dioxide would be collected in the test tube and therefore would measure the rate of fermentation. The results parsley supported the hypothesis that‚ “If the glucose concentration increases‚ the rate of fermentation increases‚ therefore the more carbon dioxide released”. Background All cells need to obtain

measure the rate of respiration in yeast and find out what factors affect the rate of respiration. I am going to change the concentration of the glucose solution and I’m going to measure the volume of gas produced during respiration in cm³. Yeast contains enzymes. Enzymes speed up a chemical reaction – they’re biological catalysts. Yeast can respire both aerobically and anaerobic; the anaerobic respiration of yeast is known as fermentation. The equation for this type of respiration in yeast is:

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

THE EFFECT OF GLUCOSE CONCENTRATION ON ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION IN YEAST INTRODUCTION: Yeast‚ also known as a saccharomyces cerevisiae‚ is single celled eukaryotic cells that are in the kingdom fungi and are unicellular organisms which normally reproduce asexually by budding at a very high rate. Scientists quite often decide to work with yeast because of its features fast growing rate and the fact that yeast ’s DNA can be easily manipulated. Some types of yeast can be found naturally on plant or in

“Investigate the factors affecting the rate of yeast respiration” Lab Report Introduction The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of different amounts of a substrate on the respiration rate of yeast and to compare this to the effect of different amounts of glucose on the rate of yeast respiration. The substrate which I chose to further investigate was fructose. Fructose is a fruit sugar which is one of the three‚ along with glucose and galactose‚ dietary monosaccharides that

This paper is going to discuss how digestive enzymes convert sucrose and lactose into glucose. The following terms will discuss; Sucrose‚ Glucose‚ Lactose and Digestive Enzymes. Sugar is any of a class of crystalline carbohydrates such as sucrose‚ glucose‚ or lactose‚ that dissolves in water and have a

3 Yeast Metabolism Metabolism refers to the biochemical assimilation (in anabolic pathways) and dissimilation (in catabolic pathways) of nutrients by a cell. Like in other organisms‚ in yeast these processes are mediated by enzymic reactions‚ and regulation of the underlying pathways have been studied in great detail in yeast. Anabolic pathways include reductive processes leading to the production of new cellular material‚ while catabolic pathways are oxidative processes which remove electrons
