Investigating the effects of carbohydrates on blood glucose levels INTRODUCTION There are two types of diabetes which includes diabetes inspidus however the disorder most commonly associated with the generic term ‘diabetes’ is diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is condition whereby blood sugar levels are far too high due to poor metabolism. There are two variations of the disorder which are Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Type 1 diabetes occurs as a result of the body’s inability to produce

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

Factors Affecting Fermentation of Glucose by Yeast Introduction: Fermentation is anaerobic respiration whereby food is altered into more simple compounds and energy in the form of chemicals is produced‚ an example being adenosine triphosphate (biology-online.org/dictionary/Fermentation). All this occurs with the lack of atmospheric oxygen. At the end of the day alcohol and carbon dioxide are the end products when yeast is used in the fermentation procedure. But end products like acetic acid

All Sugars are not Created Equal: The Effects of Glucose versus Fructose on the Human Body All Sugars Are Not Created Equal: The Effects of Glucose versus Fructose on the Human Body Sugar has occurred naturally in our environment since the dawn of time‚ and mankind has been enjoying its sweet taste almost that long. After all‚ glucose occurs naturally in corn‚ fructose is the natural sweetener found in fruit‚ sucrose occurs naturally in sugar beets and cane‚ and lactose is found in

My group and I are carrying out an investigation to find out how different concentrations of glucose affect osmosis in potato cells. Osmosis is the passive process of diffusing water which means within this experiment particles of water will move from a lower concentrated area to an area of higher concentration ; in this case it will be a concentration of glucose. Diffusion is when particles move from an area of high concentration to low concentration ; for example when a smell of cooking spreads

2.2.1.6 Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) is one of several techniques available in analytical atomic spectroscopy. ICP-AES utilizes plasma as the atomization and excitation source. Plasma is an electrically neutral‚ highly ionized gas that consists of ions‚ electrons‚ and atoms. Most analytical plasmas operate with pure argon or helium‚ which makes combustion impossible. Plasmas are characterized by their temperature

rate of respiration. I am going to change the concentration of the glucose solution and I’m going to measure the volume of gas produced during respiration in cm³. Yeast contains enzymes. Enzymes speed up a chemical reaction – they’re biological catalysts. Yeast can respire both aerobically and anaerobic; the anaerobic respiration of yeast is known as fermentation. The equation for this type of respiration in yeast is: Glucose Carbon Dioxide + Ethanol The presence of ethanol means that yeast

EXPERIMENT TO SHOW THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT CONCENTRATION OF GLUCOSE ON POTATO STRIPS INTRODUCTION: Molecules of liquid and gas are constantly in motion‚ they move randomly in all directions and bounce around in all directions and bounce around and into each other. As they move‚ they tend to spread out moving from areas with many molecules to areas with fewer molecules . This process of spreading out is called Diffusion‚ for example smell of cooking travelling around the house from the kitchen

FDA CONTINUES WARNING ON COUNTERFEIT TOUCH BLOOD GLUCOSE TEST STRIPS Back in 2005‚ Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has alerted the public to counterfeit blood glucose test strips being sold in the United States claiming different models and under different brands. Upon tracing the origin of these counterfeited medicines‚ the authorities had found same copies distributed in developing countries including Jakarta‚ Indonesia‚ Bangkok‚ Thailand and some part of Northern Australia.
