Abstract
All cells undergo cellular resperation to produce energy. Common sources of energy include glucose, fructose, sucrose, startch, and fatty acids. The process varies depending on the fuel the cell is using. This report will show these differences by exopsing the yeast to several different conditions. The rate of the fermentation can be tracked by noting the carbon dioxide production at steady intervals. This lab followed the production of carbon dioxide by yeast fermentation in four types of solutions: one control group which contained no sugar, the next which contained glucose, the next with starch, and with a sucrose solution. The mixtures …show more content…
Fructose also requires a modification before it is able to undergo glycolysis. In the second part of this experiment, we studied the citric acid cycle. This was done by obserbing the percent transmittance on mitochondria derived from lima beans.
Introduction
The goal of the first part of this lab was to deterime the affects that different sugars and tempratures have on yeast fermentation. All organisms need to produce energy in order to survive. Amimal, Bacteria, Protists, Fungi, and Plant cells use Cellular Respiration to produce the energy they need. In the process of Cellular Respiration, an organism’s cell will transform molucles such as starch or glucose into a form of cellular energy known as Adenosine Triphosphate(ATP). There are two ways cellular resperation can occur, Anarobic and Aerobic. Aerobic Respiration is the most productive form of cellular resperation. In Aerobic resperation, cells need oxygen to breakdown glucose. The cell does so through a chain reaction where they produce carbon dioxide and water. The other form of Cellular resperation is Anaerobic Respiration. This form of Cellular resperation can be divided into two
