examine the rate of alcoholic fermentation using various carbohydrates. Hypothesis: If the yeast is placed in 5% glucose or sucrose solutions‚ then carbon dioxide production will increase over time. If boiled yeast is placed in a 5% sucrose solution‚ then carbon dioxide production will remain constant. Variables Independent variable: Carbohydrate solutions (5% solutions of glucose and sucrose) and boiled yeast Dependent variable: Rate of reaction of alcoholic fermentation as calculated by size of

Review Questions Exam 2 Although I try to cover all materials thoroughly in these questions‚ anything covered in lecture may appear on the exam. Membrane Transport 1. Describe the cell permeability and membrane transport. What can enter/exit the cell on its own? What requires assistance? Why? 2. Describe membrane potential. What is it? How is it established? How does it influence the transport of charged molecules? What are the components of the electrochemical gradient?

The methylene blue staining procedure is used to measure yeast viability based on the assumption that the methylene blue will enter the cells and be broken down by living yeast cells that produce the enzymes which breaks down methylene blue‚ leaving the cells colourless. The non- viable cells do not produce this enzyme (or enzymes) and as such the methylene blue that enters the cells are undegraded causing the cells to remain coloured (the oxidized form concentrates intracellularly). The coloured

cellular respiration and fermentation. However in terms of the process‚ it can be difficult to understand‚ due to the many steps involved in a single phase. Some students hypothesized that if a human contracts their forearm muscles repetitively‚ then the muscles will be fatigued. But if yeast is awoken from its dormant state‚ the balloon’s circumference and weight will increase‚ the pH will decrease‚ and the process of cellular respiration will be replaced by fermentation. Parts of the hypothesis

Yeasts’ capability of undergoing ethanol fermentation‚ its ability to ferment other sugars and artificial sweeteners‚ and how lactase influences yeasts ability to use lactose as a food source Kristina Naydenova Father Michael Goetz Purpose Part A: To investigate whether yeast has the ability to ferment glucose to produce carbon dioxide gas and ethanol. Part B: To investigate whether yeast has the ability to ferment other sugars and artificial sweeteners and how lactase influences their

Introduction As stated in the Bio 107 Laboratory Manual‚ alcohol fermentation in yeast breaks down sugars into carbon dioxide and ethanol which is very important in many fields such as biofuel‚ industrial‚pharmaceutical and others. Amylase is an enzyme that break down starch/amylose in plants. Corn kernel contains starch‚ sugars and cellulose. This experiment focused on the effect of amylase on corn extract in respect to the rate of fermentation. Since amylase breaks down starch‚ the part of corn that contains

3 Yeast Metabolism Metabolism refers to the biochemical assimilation (in anabolic pathways) and dissimilation (in catabolic pathways) of nutrients by a cell. Like in other organisms‚ in yeast these processes are mediated by enzymic reactions‚ and regulation of the underlying pathways have been studied in great detail in yeast. Anabolic pathways include reductive processes leading to the production of new cellular material‚ while catabolic pathways are oxidative processes which remove electrons
