Fermentation Lab: Conclusion & Evaluation of the Effect of Type of Carbohydrate on Amount of CO2 Produced IB Biology/Topic: 3.7 05 February 2013 Question: Which type of carbohydrate‚ glucose‚ sucrose‚ or starch‚ will produce the greatest amount of fermentation over the class period? Why? Hypothesis: If the carbohydrate starch is added to the set up of yeast‚ then it will create the greatest amount of fermentation because starch is a polysaccharides

Fermentation Fermentation is a natural process that has been going on in nature since before humans existed. For centuries we have been practicing food fermentation‚ knowingly or unknowingly. Every food culture in the world throughout history has been using fermentation in their food in some way. Bread making originated in Egypt 3500 years ago. Fermented drinks were being produced and consumed in Babylon(now Iraq) 7000 years ago. China is thought to be the birth place of fermented vegetables. A

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)

Identification of Unknown Carbohydrates using various biochemical tests Date of experiment: 11/10/2012 Name of Student: Vicki Marshall Introduction A series of biochemical tests was carried out to identify unknown carbohydrates. There were six carbohydrates that needed to be identified; they have been randomly labelled A-F. The carbohydrates are glucose‚ fructose‚ maltose‚ lactose‚ sucrose and starch. There was six tests that were carried out to help identify them‚ these were: Iodine Test

How Carboxylic Acids and Alcohols React to Produce Esters: Esters and Ester Production: Esters are abundant and ever present‚ and are the chemical basis of almost all fatty acids and oils. Small esters are responsible for the aroma of fruits‚ perfumes and‚ by extension‚ wines and other alcohols. Esters are formed when a carboxylic acid and an alcohol chemically combine‚ losing a molecule of water in the process. Carboxylic acids are organic molecular compounds that form a homologous series

The Effect Of Substrate Concentration On The Activity Of The Enzyme Catalase A Level Biology Project Aims This is an experiment to examine how the concentration of the substrate hydrogen peroxide affects the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalase. Background Information Enzymes such as Catalase are protein molecules which are found in living cells. They are used to speed up specific reactions in the cells. They are all very specific as each enzyme just performs one particular reaction. Catalase

Although used by all cells‚ carbohydrates are specifically vital for the ordinary functioning of the valuable anxious system‚ brain and red blood cells. Fibre‚ an indigestible form of carbohydrate discovered in complete grain meals‚ fruits and veggies‚ allows keeping normal bowel motion that reduces risk of constipation‚ haemorrhoids‚ and diverticulosis and colon

Acetylcholinesterase and Butyrylcholinesterase substrate selectivity and various acting cholinesterase inhibitors Introduction Cholinesterases are a group of enzymes present in mammals which breakdown certain neurotransmitters by hydrolyzing the ester bonds within a molecule (Rang & Dale‚ 2007). There are two major types of enzymes‚ acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Though similar in structure‚ they differ in distribution‚ function and substrate specificity. AChE is found in red

Bacterial Fermentation Secondary article Article Contents Volker Mu¨ller‚ Ludwig-Maximilians-Universita¨t Mu¨nchen‚ Munich‚ Germany . Introduction Under anaerobic conditions‚ in the dark and in the absence of electron acceptors‚ organic compounds are catabolized by strictly anaerobic or facultatively anaerobic bacteria by internally balanced oxidation–reduction reactions‚ a process called fermentation. In fermentation‚ the organic compound serves as both electron donor and acceptor‚ and adenosine
