The aim of this experiment is to 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

Concentration The Problem In many colleges over 8% of the students report problems concentrating on their studies. Most of these students blame outside distractions for their problems. Many research studies manipulating noise levels and distractions have found that such disturbances may increase‚ decrease‚ or not even affect concentration. These researchers have therefore concluded that distracters don’t cause concentration problems directly. It is the way the distracters are interpreted

Effects of Sucrose Concentration On Cell Respiration In Yeast Abstract This lab investigates the effects of Sucrose concentration on cell respiration in yeast. Yeast produces ethyl alcohol and CO2 as a byproduct of anaerobic cellular respiration‚ so we measured the rate of cellular respiration by the amount of CO2 produced per minute. The results show a trend wherein increased concentrations of sucrose increase the rate of cellular respiration. Introduction All living cells require energy

Modeling Effective Dose: Salt Tasting lab Purpose The purpose of this lab is to see at what measurements (of salt) can the salt be detected by taste. Abstract The science of toxicology is based on the principle that there is a relationship between a toxic reaction (the response) and the amount of poison received (the dose). An important assumption in this relationship is that there is almost always a dose below which no response occurs or can be measured. A second assumption is that once a maximum

Salt Case Study Salt and Food We all need a little salt because it helps keep your body fluids at the right concentration. However‚ the majority of us eat more salt than we need. On average‚ people in the UK eat about 8.1g of salt a day. Even though it doesn’t sound like a lot‚ to reduce the risk of disease‚ adults should not be eating more than 6g of salt per day. A main source of salt is table salt. Your body only needs 1/4 teaspoon of salt every day. Salt is naturally found in foods but

These oceans‚ that we rely so heavily on‚ are becoming more acidic and less hospitable‚ making ocean acidification the world’s second most important atmospheric carbon problem. This carbon is released into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels

Bath Salts Since synthetic drugs have become a common theme in the news I wanted to look more into “bath salts” otherwise known as synthetic cathinones. The questions I was pondering were: what exactly do these “bath salts” do‚ how is this latest development in drug abuse affecting the brain and how can you treat someone on these dangerous chemicals? I used Google Scholar to research my topic. http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=Minnesota+Bath+Salts&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C24&as_sdtp=
