linked in order to provide you with energy from the food you eat. To start off with we will need to define photosynthesis and respiration. Photosynthesis is a process in which carbon dioxide‚ water‚ and certain inorganic salts are converted into carbohydrates by green plants‚ algae and certain bacteria using energy from the sun and chlorophyll (dictionary.com). Respiration is all of the physical and chemical processes in an organism by which oxygen is conveyed to tissues‚ cells and the oxidation products

Fermentation of a Carbohydrate: Ethanol from Sucrose Abstract The purpose of this lab was to demonstrate the fermentation process of ethanol from the substrate sucrose. To make ethanol from sucrose two enzymes invertase and zymase were used. Vacuum filtration and fractional distillation were performed to get a more concentrated solution. The density of ethanol was .825 g/mL with a percent composition of 85% pure

known as a good source for thiamin vitamin and other B vitamins that help in breaking down of foods in the body. The phytochemical captin present in the fruit is used in medication to treat heart problems. Dragon fruits have no complex carbohydrate. The carbohydrate source comes from fructose and glucose‚ which are the main sugar component in the fruits (Liaotrakoon‚ 2013). Besides‚ they also contain other nutrients such as polyunsaturated (good) fatty acids‚ carotene‚ and protein. Lycopene pigment

next week’s lab‚ you will investigate the metabolic pathways in which green plants capture light energy to produce the carbohydrate known as glucose. Carbohydrates can be used as temporary stores of energy. They can be broken down more readily than other‚ more complex molecules for a quick source of usable energy. The process by which usable energy is released from carbohydrates and captured in the bonds of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for use by cells is known as cellular respiration. Many metabolic

2.3 Honey Honey has been used by humans over several decades for its nutritive and therapeutic. It has been used as a sweetener and flavoring agent in foods and beverages. The sweetness of honey is due to the different forms of carbohydrate present in honey such as monosaccharides‚ fructose‚ glucose and disaccharides‚ maltose‚ isomaltose‚ maltulose‚ sucrose and turanose (Ayoub Meo et al.‚ 2016). Honey is rich in Vitamin B6‚ Vitamin C‚ trace vitamin B‚ amino acids‚ antioxidants‚ folic acid‚ iron

MEDIA FORMULATION Medium formulation is an essential stage in the design of fermentation process. Most fermentation media require liquid media‚ although some solid-substrate fermentations are also operated. Fermentation media must satisfy all the nutritional requirements of the microorganisms and fulfill the technical objectives of the process (1). There are several stages where media are required in a fermentation process; inoculum (starter culture)‚ propagation steps‚ pilot-scale fermentations
