of metabolism of a dried yeast culture with differing carbohydrate sources? In the current practical that was undertaken the growth rate of yeast (S. cerevisiae) with differing carbohydrates sources : Glucose (C6H12O6)‚ Fructose (C6H12O6)‚ Lactose (C12H22O11)‚ Xylitol “(CHOH)3(CH2OH)2” and Water (H2O) as a Control were observed. “ Yeast are single-celled fungi which consist of more than one thousand different species which have been identified. The most commonly used yeast is Saccharomyces Cerevisiae

- Always starts anaerobic in the cytosol – glycolysis – only 2 ATP saved - By the end of the process‚ you get 2 pyruvate – 3-carbon molecules NO O2 - Fermentation 1. Lactic Acid – your muscles ache because of the accumulation of lactic acid. 2. Alcohol Fermentation- ethanol is fancy word for alcohol. Alcohol fermentation is alcohol + CO2 O2 Aerobic * Respiration * Mitochondria * Matrix – Krebs Cycle – C6 – gives you 2 more ATP * Innermembrane- ETS – 34 ATP Mitochondria

Undergraduate Questions (50 Pts) 1. (4 pts) A chemist working in a pharmaceutical lab synthesized a new drug as a racemic mixture. Why is it important that she separates the two enantiomers and test each for its biological activity? 2. (6 pts) Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) has three dissociable protons‚ with the pKa’s shown below. Which form of phosphoric acid predominates in a solution at pH 4? Explain your answer. Acid pKa H3PO4 2.14

Intro: Carbohydrate‚ any of a large group of compounds in which hydrogen and oxygen‚ in the proportions in which they exist in water‚ are combined with carbon; the formula of most of these compounds may be expressed as Cn(H2O)n. Structurally‚ however‚ these compounds are not hydrates of carbon‚ as the formula would seem to indicate. Carbohydrates‚ as a class‚ are the most abundant organic compounds found in nature. They are produced by green plants and by bacteria using the process known as photosynthesis

being answered was what kind of effect the increase in concentration of Convollaria roots had on the rate of fermentation. The hypothesis was that the antimicrobial activities in Convallaria majalis’s roots would hinder the process of yeast fermentation because it will cause self- destruction or death in the microorganism of the yeast. If the antimicrobial activities in Convallaria majalis’s inhibit yeast fermentation‚ then the amount of CO2 evolved in the fermentation process will slowly decease or

project is to study the rates of fermentation of the following fruit or vegetable juices. 1. i. Apple juice 2. ii. Carrot juice 1 INTRODUCTION Fermentation is the slow decomposition of complex organic compound into simpler compounds by the action of enzymes. Enzymes are complex organic compounds‚ generally proteins. Examples of fermentation are: souring of milk or curd‚ bread making‚ wine making and brewing. The word Fermentation has been derived from Latin (Ferver which

Carbohydrates H2SO4 acts as dehydrating agent forming furfural derivatives which interact with alpha-naphthol librating a violet layered compound Test | Molisch test | Objective | A general test for all carbohydrates. Monosaccharides give a rapid positive test. Disaccharides and polysaccharides react slower. | Principle involved | Dehydration of the carbohydrate by concentrated sulfuric acid to produce an aldehyde | Reagent | H2SO4 | Positive results | a purple-black layer/violet ring

In the yeast discovery lab we had to decided what the outcome would be then perform the experiment. The experiment was done during class time‚ so everyone’s results would be the same. There were four bottles with warm water in them and to those bottles were added yeast. Then to one of each bottle there was added sugar‚ corn syrup‚ corn starch. To the fourth bottle there was only yeast added and used as a control group. Balloons were then stretched onto the top of the bottles to catch any gas the

Caleb Campbell Larger Amounts of Sugar Result In Greater Fermentation Rates Introduction: This experiment was conducted to find out if using larger amounts of sugar in a water-yeast solution would cause higher rates of fermentation. Fermentation is an anaerobic (without oxygen) cellular process in which organic foods are converted into simpler compounds‚ and chemical energy (ATP) is produced (Biology-Online.org‚ 2008). Fermentation is a natural occurring process that humans have used and controlled
