Introduction Glucose is very important in our daily lives. It gives us energy to carry out all of our activities. Cells in our bodies need glucose to respire and in the process release the energy we need. Glucose is also a type of carbohydrate. It has a chemical formula of C6H12O6 and is a monosaccharide reducing sugar (Kolej Mara Banting – Students’ Handbook for Biology HL Year 1). It is the simplest form of carbohydrate. In this experiment‚ sulphuric acid‚ H2SO4 and potassium permanganate

Next select the most appropriate filter for the analysis and then anter it into the light channel or the selector depending on the type of Colorimeter you

the experiment‚ the blood glucose concentration for Patient A is 5.6 mmol/L(Refer to Table 1). The blood glucose level for Patient A is normal as 5.6mmol/L is in the normal range. Urine sample from Patient A was tested and it is shown that there was no glucose and sodium present. The results showed that Patient A is healthy and could act as a control in this investigation. Secondly‚ patient B is suspected to suffer from diabetes mellitus. The blood glucose concentration for Patient B is 111mmol/L

Concentration of a Solution: Beer’s Law The objective of this experiment is to determine the concentration of an unknown copper sulfate solution. You will be using the Colorimeter. In this device‚ red light from the LED light source will pass through the solution and strike a photocell. A higher concentration of the coloured solution absorbs more light (and transmits less) than a solution of lower concentration. The Colorimeter monitors the light received by the photocell as either an absorbance

SOLUTION AND CONCENTRATION A solution is a homogeneous mixture‚ made up of a solute dissolved in a solvent. Ex. In a water (aqueous) solution of sodium chloride‚ the sodium chloride is the solute and the water is the solvent. Solute – the component that is dissolved or is the least abundant component in the solution. Ex. Sugar‚ salt Solvent – the dissolving agent or the most abundant component in the solution. Ex. Water Common Types of Solution State of Solution State of Solute

to dilute a sugar water solution. It also created solutions containing varying levels of concentrations and densities. Equations were used to figure the molecular weight of the sugar‚ and the number of moles of sugar in the volumetric flask. There was also an equation to figure the Molarity‚ as well. As a result of the experiment‚ I now have a better understanding of the density of a concentration‚ and what Molarity is . Observations Data Table 8: Initial Concentration Chemical Mass (g) Molecular

THE EFFECT OF GLUCOSE CONCENTRATION ON ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION IN YEAST INTRODUCTION: Yeast‚ also known as a saccharomyces cerevisiae‚ is single celled eukaryotic cells that are in the kingdom fungi and are unicellular organisms which normally reproduce asexually by budding at a very high rate. Scientists quite often decide to work with yeast because of its features fast growing rate and the fact that yeast ’s DNA can be easily manipulated. Some types of yeast can be found naturally on plant or in

Estimating Osmolarity by Change in Weight By: Sondus Kahil 27 February 2012 TA- Ashley Hintz Biology 200A-section 002 Abstract: My group and I conducted the experiment that estimates osmolarity by change in weight of potato tubers‚ this was conducted in order to explore the process of diffusion and osmosis and more importantly to investigate the question of “Does different concentrations of sucrose solutions have an effect on the final weight for the potato

The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect that a glucose concentration has on the rate of fermentation. This was done by adding a variety of different glucose concentration into a test tube‚ siting in a water bath. The carbon dioxide would be collected in the test tube and therefore would measure the rate of fermentation. The results parsley supported the hypothesis that‚ “If the glucose concentration increases‚ the rate of fermentation increases‚ therefore the more carbon dioxide
