Background Research Yeast are eukaryotic microorganisms just like other organisms‚ they must respire in order to survive. Respiration can be defined as the controlled release of energy from organic compounds to form adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The type of respiration that occurs is called aerobic respiration. It occurs when glucose and oxygen are present. It can be summarized by the equation: . Enzymes play a very significant part in respiration. During the different stages of respiration‚ enzymes

The first is the quality of the calorimeter. With a simple plastic lid‚ our cheap colorimeter is relatively effective for a low cost but without a proper seal and adequate insulation some of the heat from the reaction was transferred to the surrounding environment instead of the liquid in the cups. This would cause our experimentally collected

Task 3 – D Why is it important for all laboratory procedures and practices to be followed and communicated through the team? Chemical Store management – it is vital for chemical storage procedures to be followed as the potential risks that can result from using and handling chemicals can be very high. For example; mishandling of citric acid (even though it is a low risk chemical) could result in contact with the skin and/or eyes which may cause irritation‚ miscommunication between the staff could

January 1999 B io Factsheet Example glucose fructose galactose Number 39 Carbohydrates: Revision Summary Carbohydrates contain 3 elements: Carbon (C)‚ Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O). Thus‚ if we remove water from carbohydrates‚ all that remains is carbon. Carbohydrates can be divided into 3 categories; monosaccharides‚ disaccharides and polysaccharides (Table 1). Table 1. Structure of monosaccharides‚ disaccharides and polysaccharides Category Monosaccharide (made of 1 sugar molecule)

THE VITAMIN C CONTENT OF FRUIT JUICE Aim: To investigate the vitamin C content of fruit juice.Hypothesis: I believe the more drops of fruit juice taken to decolourise DCPIP‚ the smaller the amount of vitamin C in that fruit juice. This is because DCPIP needed to be decolourised by ascorbic acid in fruit juice‚ so less concentration of ascorbic acids means that more ascorbic acids is needed to decolourised DCPIP. I believe that freshly squeezed orange is going to have the most Vitamin C content

GCSE SCIENCE COURSEWORK (CHEMISTRY) PLANNING: Skill Area P Write down the aim of your Investigation. To investigate the effects of change in concentration on the rate of reaction between Sodium Thiosulphate and Hydrochloric Acid. Briefly describe your Preliminary Experiment and include your results. Explain how these results have helped you plan your main experiment (p8b). An increase in concentration will lead to an increase in the rate of reaction because there will be a greater number of
