Yeast and Sugar - The Chemistry must be right Jansen‚ C. Gymnasium Felisenum‚ The Netherlands 14-04-2010 Summary Yeast can metabolize sugar in two ways‚ aerobically‚ with the aid of oxygen‚ or anaerobically‚ without oxygen. In this experiment yeast ferment sugars anaerobically. When yeast ferments the sugars anaerobically‚ however‚ CO2 production will cause a change in the weight of the sugar/yeast-solution. This raises a further question: What is the effect of different kinds of sugars

quantities for commercial use as artificial fruit essences and other flavorings and as components of perfumes. Esterification is used to derivatize carboxylic acids and other acidic functional groups. In a typical reaction‚ Esterification involves the condensation of the carboxyl group of an acid and the hydroxyl group of an alcohol‚ with the elimination of water. Many Esterification reactions are slow and elevated temperatures are frequently used. Since the Esterification reaction is an equilibrium reaction

According to the wealth concentration theory‚ those who already hold wealth have the means to invest in new sources of creating wealth or to otherwise leverage the accumulation of wealth‚ thus are the beneficiaries of the new wealth. Over time‚ wealth condensation can significantly contribute to the persistence of inequality within society. This correlation between being rich and earning more is also contributed by plutocracy: the ability of the rich to influence government disproportionately to their favor

atmosphere‚ and an even smaller amount of the Earth’s freshwater (0.003%) is contained within biological bodies and manufactured products. Water on Earth moves continually through the water cycle of evaporation and transpiration (evapotranspiration)‚ condensation‚ precipitation‚ and runoff‚ usually reaching the sea. Evaporation and transpiration contribute to the precipitation over land. Safe drinking water is essential to humans and other lifeforms even though it provides no calories or organic nutrients

Discussion and Interpretation of Results The addition of HBr to 1-hexene created a 2-bromohexane‚ as indicated from the ethanol silver nitrate test and sodium iodide/acetone test. The observations when the product was subjected to these tests were similar to what were observed with the 2° bromide compound. When subjected to the silver nitrate test‚ the product produced a precipitate at the same rate of the 2° bromide compound‚ and the product produced a hue of yellow that was also similar to the

Unit 1: Biochemistry Review Chemical Bonding Three types of bonds Ionic bond: 2 oppositely charged atoms (Na and Cl) Polar covalent: Unequally shared electrons (H and O) Non polar covalent: Equally shared electrons (C and C) or similar electronegativity Electronegativity and chemical bonding Electronegativity is a measure of the strength in which an atom can attract electrons. A difference of < 0. 5 is non polar covalent bond A difference of 0.5 – 1.7 is polar covalent bond A difference of > 1

Dream Perspectives November 28‚ 2011 Abstract This paper will explore the three perspectives of dreaming. The psychoanalytic perspective‚ the cognitive perspective and the biological perspective. The psychoanalytic perspective‚ as conveyed by celebrated neurologist and founding psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud‚ is examined through his literary work The Interpretation of Dreams. This book serves as the basis of the psychoanalytic perspective which the other perspectives

Starch Glycocidic Bond A glycocidic bond is a link between two sugar molecules‚ it holds monosaccharides together to form disaccharides or polysaccharides. It can also join carbohydrates to non-carbohydrate molecules. A glycocidic bond is a condensation reaction which means when it is formed‚ water is a product. This also means that the bond needs water to break (Hydrolysis) which makes it quite strong. This kind of bond is called covalent. Glucose + Sucrose + Water Glucose = H2O Monosaccharides
