in oxygen while releasing carbon dioxide. Osmosis is a special type of diffusion‚ which occurs when water is diffused across the membrane. This can be affected by how hydrophilic a solute is on either side of the membrane. The diffusion of glucose‚ starch‚ and iodine was observed when the solutes went from a higher concentration of their individual solute to a lower concentration diffusing threw pores in the dialysis bag. The experiment sought to find out which solutes would diffuse threw the pores

-------------------------------- 1 A scientific paper submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in HNF 12 laboratory‚ 2nd sem.‚ 2012-2013. OBJECTIVES 1. To enumerate the principle and methods in fermentation; and 2. to identify the factors that affect the efficiency of fermentation. INTRODUCTION Vinegar has been traditionally used as a food preservative. Vinegar retards microbial growth and contributes sensory properties to a number of foods. The wide diversity of products containing

Sucrose and glucose concentrations were calculated from the concentration of NADPH formed by the reaction of glucose-6-phosphate and NADP+. Spectrophotometric absorbance readings were taken at

Carbohydrate Fermentation Testing Questions A. What is fermentation? It is a metabolic process that allows the production of ATP without need for oxygen B. Why is it important not to incubate the fermentation tubes beyond 24 hours? You may not get accurate results. Although sugar is the primary nutrient used‚ when a microbe runs out of it‚ protein or other nutrients will be attacked This causes changes in the color of the medium because of the pH indicator added to detect acid production. When proteins

Charlene Villanueva - Biology Charlene Villanueva - Biology Starch‚ Glycogen and Cellulose Independent Research A polysaccharide is a long chain of monosaccharide molecules‚ held by glycosidic bonds. They are usually not sweet in taste‚ insoluble in water and often do not produce crystals when water is taken out. Starch Starch is a complex solid carbohydrate‚ consisting glucose molecules held together by glycosidic bonds. It is a storage polysaccharide. They can be found in fruits‚ seeds‚ roots

Laboratory Order Form 1 DESIGN 1.1 Defining the problem Focus / Research question How does osmosis work and what effect will this have on the raisin at different sucrose concentrations? Hypothesis The raisin in the beaker with most diluted sucrose solution will gain the most mass‚ therefore the control (0% sucrose solution) should be the most successful (in relation to the aim.) Background Information / theory Osmosis may occur when there is a partially permeable membrane‚ such

Title : Measuring the rate of oxygen uptake. Objectives : 1. To demonstrate the uptake of oxygen in respiration. 2. To measure the rate at which an organism respires. 3. To learn how to set up the apparatus for respirometers. Introduction : Respirometer A respirometer is a device that been used to measure the rate of respiration of a living organism. This can be measured by calculating the rate of exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. A simple respirometer designed to measure oxygen

B. Statement of the problem. General Problem The problem is if cassava starch is an effective component for biodegradable plastic. Specific problems The easiest problem to solve will be the texture and bubbles. The mixture can’t be too thick when it’s being made and heated. If it’s too thick‚ air bubbles will get trapped in the mixture when it’s heated and won’t be able to get out. Try adding more water. It will take longer to dry‚ of course‚ but that will help to get rid of the bubbles
