In the yeast discovery lab we had to decided what the outcome would be then perform the experiment. The experiment was done during class time‚ so everyone’s results would be the same. There were four bottles with warm water in them and to those bottles were added yeast. Then to one of each bottle there was added sugar‚ corn syrup‚ corn starch. To the fourth bottle there was only yeast added and used as a control group. Balloons were then stretched onto the top of the bottles to catch any gas the

Fermentation of Carbohydrates: Ethanol from Sucrose Objective: To demonstrate a fermentation process‚ isolate the ethanol produced by fractional distillation‚ determine the composition of the ethanol solution recovered‚ and make stoichiometric and yield calculations. Procedures: Fermentation Weigh out 20.0 g of sucrose and place it into a 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask. Add 100 mL of water and gently shake until all the sucrose has dissolved. To this solution add 0.60 g of dipotassium hydrogen phosphate

Methods: An observation was made on whether or not the sugars‚ fructose and ribose would be fermented in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). By looking at the chemical structures of these sugars given in (Figure 1)‚ we looked for anything that might determine the metabolization of these sugars. An equal 6mL (milliliter) sample of 2.5% fructose and yeast suspension was pipetted into a fermentation tube. The same procedure above was performed with the sugar ribose which has a concentration of 2.5%

project is to study the rates of fermentation of the following fruit or vegetable juices. 1. i. Apple juice 2. ii. Carrot juice 1 INTRODUCTION Fermentation is the slow decomposition of complex organic compound into simpler compounds by the action of enzymes. Enzymes are complex organic compounds‚ generally proteins. Examples of fermentation are: souring of milk or curd‚ bread making‚ wine making and brewing. The word Fermentation has been derived from Latin (Ferver which

Cellular Respiration through Alcoholic Fermentation Abstract: The experiment was conducted to determine the impact different yeast amounts had on yeast fermentation. It was hypothesized that the more yeast added the more CO2 would be produced. The carbon dioxide production was measured in the fermentation of yeast with solution of no yeast in test tube 1‚ 1mL yeast in test tube 2‚ and 3mL of yeast in test tube 3 over a period of twenty minutes. All of the yeast amounts produced CO2‚ but test tube

Anaerobic respiration in Bacteria Like humans and other animals‚ bacteria need to breathe. Anaerobic bacteria basically mean bacteria that respire anaerobically. All living cells need to respire in order to release energy for vital cell activities. Anaerobic respiration is respiration in the absence of oxygen‚ hence anaerobic bacteria does not breathe at all. The purpose of respiration is to provide the cell with the appropriate molecules for creating energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate

Kobe Ryan 11-17-09 KNES 342 Relaxation Paper The method I chose as a relaxation/stress-relief technique is Exercising. Exercising is one the most important things to do to keep your body not only healthy physically‚ but mentally as well. I find myself going to the gym almost five days a week to relieve myself from the stressful environment that I endure every week. Whether it would be from work‚ school‚ or issues happening at home or around me‚ Exercising and going to the gym will help me clear

Anaerobic digestion Anaerobic digestion is a series of processes in which microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen‚ used for industrial or domestic purposes to manage waste and/or to release energy. The digestion process begins with bacterial hydrolysis of the input materials in order to break down insoluble organic polymers such as carbohydrates and make them available for other bacteria. Acidogenic bacteria then convert the sugars and amino acids into carbon dioxide

Making Bread with Yeast By Rebecca Coles Introduction Bread is such a common food‚ who would expect it to be made in such a fascinating and clever way? A simple loaf contains just four main ingredients; flour (the main ingredient)‚ warm water (the yeast prefer the water warm)‚ salt and of course the yeast‚ tiny microscopic fungi that help the bread rise. Although fascinating the process is surprisingly simple; first‚ the flour‚ sugar and water is mixed together with yeast to make the bread

Fermentation is a process performed by cells in the absence of oxygen to produce small amounts of ATP. During this process the six-carbon sugar glucose is broken down into two molecules of the three-carbon organic acid‚ pyruvic acid‚ coupled with the transfer of chemical energy to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Fermentation is used by many producers to make many of the commodities which we are used to today. Some of these commodities include yogurt‚ cheese‚ wine‚ bread‚ beer‚ rum‚ and even
