anaerobic respiration in yeast
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
2 beakers
Bunsen Burner
Tap Water
Thermometer (±0.1°)
Electronic Balance
Spatula
Sugar Solution
Yeast
Water
Measuring Cylinder
PROCEDURE:
1. Measure 40 ml of sugar solution with the measuring tube. Place the 40 ml on the big beaker
2. Measure 2 g of yeast using the electric balance. Place the 2 g on the beaker with the sugar solution
3. Stir the yeast-sugar solution (Solution A) using the glass stick until the yeast has completely dissolved
4. Separate Solution A into two 20 ml solutions (Solution A1 and Solution A2). To do so, measure 20 ml with the measuring tube and place them on a small beaker. Repeat the procedure with the other 20 ml.
5. Prepare a water bath on the Styrofoam cup. Using the thermomether, make sure the water bath has a temperature of 45°C.
6. Light the Bunsen burner. Heat solution A1 to a temperature of 40°C
7. Using the measuring cylinder, measure 15 ml of Solution A1 and place them on one of the boiling tubes. Cover the boiling tube with the delivery tube and place the other end of the delivery tube into a test tube which contains tap water
8. Count the number of CO2 bubbles coming out of the delivery tube. Record the number of bubbles which came out each minute (checking time with the stopwatch)
9. Repeat from step 5 with Solution A2, but this time heat the solution up to a temperature of 100°C instead of 40°C.

    Be sure that the water does not boil too strongly and if it does occur reduce the heat. Put 12 test tubes on the test tube rack and label them 1 through 12 on the top of the tube using wax pencils. Use the ruler to draw a line at 3 cm and 6 cm on the test tubes using the wax pencil. Fill the test tube up to the 3 cm line with the solution to be tested and fill up to the 6 cm line with Benedict’s reagent. Invert test tubes to mix the liquid. Place the test tube in the hot water bath for 3 minutes and remove with test tube holder. Observe the results and record the data in table 4 then repeat all steps with the remaining 11 test tubes and substances. Once finished dispose of all solutions in hazard container and clean the test tubes with soap and water.…

    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 dioxide is produced. This lab focuses on studying the rate of cellular respiration of saccharomyces cerevisiae, baker’s yeast, in an aerobic environment with glucose, sucrose, lactose, artificial sweetener, and water as a negative control. A CO2 Gas Sensor Probe is used to measure the amount carbon dioxide produced as the cellular respiration occurs which is proportional to how much of the molecule is decomposed. For this experiment water is used as a treatment control to provide a baseline for all the other treatments. To ensure the validity of the experiment, the amount of time the yeast was exposed to the sugars, the designated pipets for each sugar, the amount of sugar tested, and the temperature of the yeast culture were monitored to be the same throughout the experiment.…

    Eight8 g of sugar were placed on the scale, and then transferred into the volumetric flask (Table 8 shows the calculations of the molecular weight, moles, mass, volume and molarity recorded before doing so). Distilled water was added to the sugar until a total of 25mL were in the flask. Then the flask was capped, and the solution was mixed together until the sugar was dissolved. Once dissolved, the solution was transferred into the glass beaker, and certain aspects were measured and recorded in table 9. Once this step was complete, 2.5 mL were removed from the solution, and diluted in the volumetric flask. The steps were then repeated using different amounts of the diluted solution each time .…

    Yeast are able to metabolize some foods, but not others. In order for an organism to make use of a potential source of food, it must be capable of transporting the food into its cells. It must also have the proper enzymes capable of breaking the food’s chemical bonds in a useful way. Sugars are vital to all living organisms. Yeast are capable of using some, but not all sugars as a food source. Yeasts reproduce rapidly through fission or budding and grow especially well in substances containing sugar.…

    First, label 6 test tubes a-f. Next, place the 100 mL beaker on the digital scale and zero the scale. Measure 17.1 g of table sugar by putting it in the beaker. Then measure a total of 50 mL of distilled water by using a 25-mL graduated cylinder. Using the stirring rod, slowly add the 50 mL and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. This is now a 1.0 M (molarity) solution. Label a short stem pipet “DW” (distilled water), which will be used throughout the experiments. Use the 25 mL graduated cylinder to measure 5 mL of distilled water and add that to test tube “a”. Dry the graduated cylinder and wash with distilled water after each step after this. Use the graduated cylinder to measure 1 mL of the 1.0 M sucrose solution and use the “DW” pipet to add 4 mL of distilled water to test tube “b”, which is now a .2 M solution. Then use the graduated cylinder to measure 2 mL of 1.0 M sucrose solution and add 3 mL of distilled water to test tube “c”, which this creates a .4 M solution. Measure 3 mL of 1.0 M sucrose and 2 mL of distilled water to test tube “d”, which then creates the .6 M solution. Measure 4 mL of the 1.0 M sucrose solution and 1 mL of distilled water to test tube “e”, which creates the .8 M solution. Finally, measure 5 mL of the 1.0 M sucrose solution and add to test tube “f”, creating the 1.0 M…
