Aim: 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 are directly absorbed into the bloodstream during digestion. Materials: 2% yeast

Temperature and Yeast Fermentation Introduction: Saccharomyces cerevisiae‚ commonly known as baker’s yeast‚ is an key ingredient used mainly when baking bread or making alcoholic beverages. The main role of the yeast is to convert the sucrose into carbon dioxide (CO2) and ethanol. For example‚ when baking bread‚ the yeast ferments the sucrose within the dough and so CO2 and ethanol is released‚ causing the bread to rise and expand. It does this using enzymesAlso‚ during this fermentation process‚ because

essential carbohydrates needed for athletes‚ and the effects of consuming carbohydrates before and during competition is very important in helping with the enhancing of an athlete’s endurance and his or her exercise performance. It is critical for athletes to ingest a significant amount of carbohydrates in their bodies in order to compete at high performance levels. Carbohydrates are the main fuel source for our body‚ but as athletes we must know the difference between good and bad carbohydrates. Good

Carbohydrate and Diabetes Research NUR 115 AM The articles that I researched for this project were interesting and shed light on the relationship between carbohydrates and diabetes. Some of the information that I learned will be useful in my nursing career. Carbohydrates fill numerous roles in living things‚ such as the storage and transport of energy in the form of starch and glycogen etc. The basic carbohydrate units are called monosaccharides‚ such as glucose‚ galactose‚ and

substitutes; fats; free foods; combination foods; fast foods; and alcohol. Carbohydrate Counting When you eat a healthy meal or snack‚ it is usually a mixture of carbohydrate‚ pro- tein‚ and fat. However‚ your body changes carbohydrate into glucose faster than it changes protein and fat into glucose. It is the carbohydrate that makes your blood glucose level go up. In carbohydrate counting‚ you count foods that are mostly carbohydrate. These include starches (breads‚ cereals‚ pasta)‚ fruits and fruit

Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are the most important nutrient for the body as it is the largest possible source of energy. Carbohydrate supplies the body with energy‚ which allows the brain to function more effectively and allows organs to operate sufficiently. When the body has energy this allows each person to perform a variety of exercise regimes such as high intensity‚ fat burn and continuous training. When the body consumes carbohydrates the digestive system changes carbohydrates to glucose

The main purpose of carbohydrate loading is to reestablish both the glycogen of the muscles and liver in order to keep hunger away during some types of competitive sports. These types of competitive sports include: marathons‚ long distance swimming‚ and cycling. Carbohydrate loading is done anywhere from a week out from a competition or event to only twenty four hours before. There are three main benefits to carb loading for athletes of sports like marathons‚ long distance swimming‚ cycling‚ and
