Yeats Fermentation Lab Investigative Question: How does the sugar concentration affect the fermentation of yeast? Hypothesis: The percentage of sugar in a solution is directly proportional to the amount of produced CO2‚ as a result of Yeast fermentation. Data table: Amount of CO2 measured in cm. (Bubble length) | Trial | Percentage of sugar in solution | | | 0% | 5% | 10% | 15% | 20% | | 1 | 0 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0.3 | 3.1 | | 2 | 0 | 0.3 | 1.3 | 0.4 | 5 | | 3 | 0 | 0.2 |

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

Title: Inhibition of Yeast Glycolysis Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to study carbon dioxide emissions from yeast‚ as well as their respiratory rate and to use that data to study how glycolysis inhibitors affect the respiratory rate. In our experiment‚ we tested how 8.75% glucose + 1.25% NaCl‚ 8.75% glucose + 1.25% glucose-6-phosphate‚ 8.75% glucose + 1.25% citric acid‚ and yeast solution‚ all mixed with distilled water‚ affect carbon dioxide volumes and respiratory rate. Our results

of metabolism of a dried yeast culture with differing carbohydrate sources? In the current practical that was undertaken the growth rate of yeast (S. cerevisiae) with differing carbohydrates sources : Glucose (C6H12O6)‚ Fructose (C6H12O6)‚ Lactose (C12H22O11)‚ Xylitol “(CHOH)3(CH2OH)2” and Water (H2O) as a Control were observed. “ Yeast are single-celled fungi which consist of more than one thousand different species which have been identified. The most commonly used yeast is Saccharomyces Cerevisiae

The Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity and Oxygen Production Throughout this report you will gain information as to how temperature effects the amount of oxygen produced in an enzyme- catalase experiment. In the experiment we used liver extract as a catalase and created a chemical reaction within a reaction chamber between the catalase and hydrogen peroxide as well as three different controlled temperatures. In the procedure below there will be a step by step process as to how

This section analyzes and presents the results of the two trials conducted‚ including the trial in which Hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) was denatured by a cold catalase solution and the other in which the Hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) was denatured by a hot catalase solution. The experiment conducted displayed signs of experimental error as there were many situations in which the materials provided could have faulted. Theoretically speaking‚ from the inconsistent values provided for the pH levels‚ a possible

Candidiasis Commonly known as the Yeast Infection Candidiasis is an infection caused by Candida fungi‚ especially Candida Albicans. These fungi are found almost everywhere in the environment. Some may live harmlessly along with the abundant "native" species of bacteria that normally grow the mouth‚ gastrointestinal tract and vagina. Usually‚ Candida is kept under control by the native bacteria and by the body’s immune defenses. If the native bacteria are decreased by antibiotics or if the person’s

Does Temperature Affect Enzyme Activity? Introduction As a group‚ we conducted an experiment to see if temperature would affect enzyme activity. We did this because we are studying enzymes and were curious if they would be affected by temperature. We hypothesized that temperature would affect enzyme activity. We believed this because it seemed fitting that something which increased the role or speed of something would be affected by changes in something like temperature. A catalyst is a substance
