IB Biology Internal Assessment: Yeast Fermentation Rates Planning(a) Question- Growth: What is the effect on Yeast Growth/Expansion during fermentation when mixed in water of varying temperatures? Hypothesis- Temperatures above or below the recommended fermentation temperatures will contain less‚ or be void of growth‚ either due to inactivation or to yeast death. Variables- | | | | |

better understand the process of fermentation of yeast in different concentrations of sucrose. The experiment worked with yeast and sugar (sucrose and glucose) to determine the rate of fermentation by testing the pressure of C02 in the test tube. The experiment tested the metabolic capability of yeast anaerobically meaning no oxygen was present (this was ensured by the thin layer of oil on the top of the solution). This means that the metabolic rate of the yeast could be determined by testing the

Effects of Molasses Concentration on Yeast Fermentation The purpose of this lab was to determine how yeast cells are affected by the concentration of a food source‚ and for our purposes‚ the food sources were corn syrup and molasses. Our hypothesis was that the yeast cells would ferment the most when there was a higher concentration of molasses/corn syrup. In order to test this‚ we created 10 test tubes with decreasing concentrations of molasses/corn syrup using a serial dilution. Each test

Total CO2 Evolved by Different Concentrations of Convollaria roots. Actual values are the graduated pipette readings. For CO2 evolved values‚ subtract the initial reading from the actual reading. This is the amount of CO2 accumulated over time. | Time (min) | Tube 1 | Tube 2 | Tube 3 | Tube 4 | | Actual | CO2 Evolved | Actual | CO2 Evolved | Actual | CO2 Evolved | Actual | CO2 Evolved | | (A) | (A-I) | (A) | (A-I) | (A) | (A-I) | (A) | (A-I) | Initial reading (I) | 0.05 | | 0

There are more than one forms of fermentation; yeast fermentation is probably the most common method. This process is used in many everyday products today. Yeast was first discovered in 1676‚ but was used before. It has also led to numerous scientific advances. Yeast expands‚ especially well with a good amount of sugar‚ the more of the amount the greater it expands. Yeast is a single-celled organism‚ a fungus to be more specific. They consume carbohydrates‚ mainly sugars‚ and produce carbon dioxide

12/6/2011 Abstract Yeast is widely used for making bread‚ beer‚ and wine. People all over the world drink and eat those products. This projects looks at which fruit juice with a higher percentage of sugar will produce more fermentation. The original purpose of this experiment was to determine the amount of fermentation of 3 different fruit juices after adding a certain amount of yeast. By measuring the type of fruit juice (independent variable) the amount of fermentation as shown by the reduction

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 solution Large beaker Small

experiment is to determine the effect that temperature has on the growth and respiration of yeast fermentation. The growth and respiration of the yeast can be determined by using a glucose/ yeast solution mixed with water in flasks set at different temperatures. Yeast in order to produce‚ has to make energy‚ to carry out all cellular functions (Spicer‚ & Holbrook‚ 2007). The concept that aerobic metabolism of all yeasts‚ is determined by the relative sizes of the transport rate of sugar into the cell and
