Title: Conditions needed for dough to rise
Hypothesis: Conditions needed in order for dough to rise properly
Aim: To determine what conditions make dough rises best
Apparatus and materials
Flour
Yeast
Warm water
Sugar
Mixing bowl
Two (2) beakers
Measuring cup
Spoon

Diagram of Apparatus

Method
1. Take a measuring and measure 1 and ½ cups of warm water
2. Add yeast then sugar (this is used to activate the yeast. The yeast uses the sugar and water to create carbon dioxide and raise the bread)
2. Add the yeast mixture to the mixing bowl along with ¾ of flour
3. Mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon
4. Begin to knead the dough until smooth
5. Take the dough and cut it into 2 equal sizes
6. Take both pieces of dough and place one in a dark cupboard and the other in the refrigerator. Leave dough for 1 day. (The oven and the refrigerator are both conditions to test what is best for bread to rise.)
8. Observe dough to see which one raised best

Expected results
The dough that is placed in the cupboard is more likely to give the best result. This is so because yeast works best in warm environments. The warmth enhances the yeast’s metabolism and causes it to work faster at raising the dough; one enzyme goes to work on the flour, changing the starch in it into sugar. Another enzyme then takes over and changes the sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The refrigerated dough would have adverse effects because cold conditions slow down the yeast’s performance.

Experimental limitations/Sources of error
1. The temperature in the cupboard and refrigerator may be too high or too low to actually analyze the way dough raises. Conditions like a hot day or a rainy day would have been preferred.
2. Not kneading the dough properly
3. Using expired yeast
4. Excess addition of

    It is essential in our bodies that oxygen and carbon dioxide levels are in appropriate and healthy amounts within the bloodstream as the excess or lack of the gases becomes detrimental to the being. Fortunately, current medical technologies allow us to monitor and measure the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the bloodstream with a simple test. The pulse oximeter and the arterial blood gas analysis machine are two technologies that give us insight into the closed circulatory system of living beings.…

    For beer, starch in grains of barley, which is not fermentable, has to be broken down by the amylase enzymes produced by the grain when the grain is kept moist and it starts to germinate. The starch is broken down into maltose, which is the carbohydrate substrate for the fermentation. In bread making, yeast respires and the carbon dioxide it produces causes the dough to rise. At least at the start, however, there is enough air mixed in the dough for the respiration to be aerobic. Yoghurt is produced by the lactic fermentation of milk by the bacterium Lactobacillus bulgaricus.…

    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 from which we can draw a conclusion as to the effects, if any, of different isomers of sugar, on the respiration rate of yeast.…

    On 09 January at approximately 0900, Angel Rodriguez reported that while in Ms. Kimberly Nelson Biology class he and another student, Alicia Gieseck became curious about two specimens that were in glass containers in the back of the classroom. Mr. Rodriguez stated that he picked up the smaller of the two jars by the lid to closer examine the specimen. He observed that the top of the jar appeared to be glue shut. He then reported that he reached over and attempted to pick-up the larger jar, only to realize the lid unsecured and Formaldehyde used to preserve the specimen spilled onto the counter and to the floor.…

    This lab helps further our understanding of essential principles behind diffusion and osmosis. Permeability, concentration gradients, plasmolysis, water potential, and equilibrium were also concepts that were delved into in this lab. Understanding how diffusion and osmosis works is essential to understanding biology. Each time a cell has something move into or out of it, some sort of principle studied in this lab is occurring. Diffusion, osmosis, and passive and active transport are all fundamental concepts of Biology. This lab simulated osmosis in the cell. In this case, we used dialysis tubing to simulate the semi-permeable membrane of an animal cell.…
