Glycolysis Two stage process Stage 1 – trapping and destabilising glucose in order to produce 2x3c molecules (5steps in the process). Requires energy (2 ATPs) Stage 2 – oxidation of the 3c molecules to pyruvate (5steps in the process). Energy generated (4tps and 2 NADH) Stage 1 Step 1 – trapping glucose‚ glucose enters via facilitated diffusion through specific transport proteins. The family of transporters is known as GLUT‚ GLUT 3 (brain‚ nerve tissue) Low Km allows relatively constant rate

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

hypotheses based on predictions questions. First‚ yeast will metabolize sugar and produce a gas. This is because yeast is a living organism and all living organisms like yeast must use energy (such as sugar) to obtain energy. Yeast will metabolize sugar and gives off carbon dioxide as a by-product. For the second hypothesis‚ we were expecting that yeast will produce a gas when sugar is available. For the third hypothesis‚ we did not expect yeast to produce a gas when no sugar or other food is available

Biology Lab Report Investigating Alcoholic Fermentation and the Affects of Yeast on Dough Aim: The aim was simply to investigate whether or not yeast had any affect on causing dough to rise when baked and to experiment with alcoholic fermentation eg. to see if it gave off carbon dioxide. Introduction: Following a few weeks of fermentation theory‚ groups of three to four were assigned and told to conduct a series of experiments involving the affects of fermentation. My group consisted of

“Investigate the factors affecting the rate of yeast respiration” Lab Report Introduction The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of different amounts of a substrate on the respiration rate of yeast and to compare this to the effect of different amounts of glucose on the rate of yeast respiration. The substrate which I chose to further investigate was fructose. Fructose is a fruit sugar which is one of the three‚ along with glucose and galactose‚ dietary monosaccharides that

Title: Confirming the Presence of Fermentation in the Conversion of Milk to Kefir Authors: Michael Ahrens‚ Nicholas Fiore‚ Garrett Hages‚ Melissa Cullom University of Kansas‚ Biol 402‚ Fall 2014‚ 3:00pm room 6040 Abstract: In this experiment milk was fermented into Kefir‚ then a series of tests were used to confirm that fermentation actually occurred. The tests used to confirm the fermentation were a gas production test‚ pH test‚ Gram stain‚ and turbidity test. The results showed during the conversion

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

Factors Affecting Fermentation of Glucose by Yeast Introduction: Fermentation is anaerobic respiration whereby food is altered into more simple compounds and energy in the form of chemicals is produced‚ an example being adenosine triphosphate (biology-online.org/dictionary/Fermentation). All this occurs with the lack of atmospheric oxygen. At the end of the day alcohol and carbon dioxide are the end products when yeast is used in the fermentation procedure. But end products like acetic acid

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
