Intro to cellular and molecular Biology Lab
Abstract:
In the Biology Laboratory Manual by Darrell S. Vodopich and Randy Moore are results to a similar experiment. The studied the hypothesis of carbon dioxide production by yeast fed sugar is not significantly different than the carbon dioxide production by the yeast fed in protein. Their hypothesis is the one that has helped formulate ours. We also will be answering the same to questions “What classes of biological molecules are most readily absorbed and metabolized by yeast?”. Metabolizing is the process in which we study how the chemical processes in a living organism in order to maintain life.
Introduction:
Yeast is a form of a microscopic fungus that is able to break down sugar into smaller components such as carbon dioxide. Yeast is one of than substances that can metabolize certain nutrients. Trying to understand if fungi such as yeast can metabolize glucose and protein is beneficial to humans because it accounts for the amount of Carbon dioxide that is produced. Once we are able to identify if yeast has a different effect on different nutrients then we will be able to form a conclusion that may lead to further research that can answer more possible questions.My hypothesis is that the production of carbon dioxide is not significantly different if you use glucose or protein. This idea came about because we noticed a trend in the production of carbon dioxide from the yeast. I predict that this hypothesis will be very accurate because when observing the pictures in the book the yeast seem to be react differently.
Materials:
The materials that were used were a small diameter tube, a large diameter tube, a disposable pipette and distilled water.
Procedure:
To begin my group and I labeled the four small diameter tubes with a c for the control group which we mixed the water with yeast and then covered the small diameter tube with a
