involving the appearance of NADPH. 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 340nm‚ this is because NADPH absorbs strongly at this wavelength‚ whilst NADP+ does not (1015MSC‚ 2010). The concentration of glucose and sucrose in Powerade was found to be 0.43g/100mL and 7.36g/100mL‚ whereas the concentration of glucose and sucrose in Gatorade was found to be

Abstract: Water potential is the measure of free energy of water in a solution. The purpose of this lab was to find the water potential of a potato cell. The problem of this lab was‚ if there was a high molarity of solute‚ would it have a positive or negative water potential? The hypothesis of the experiment was‚ if there is a high molarity of solute then the water potential would be lower or negative. After obtaining potatoes‚ we cut them into pieces‚ weighed them‚ and then placed them in a solution

Digestive System Hydrolysis of Sucrose After viewing the animation‚ answer these questions: 1. The enzyme sucrase breaks the disaccharide Sucrose into two monosaccharides: Glucose ‚ or sugar‚ and fructose ‚ or fruclose sugar. 2. Where does this reaction occur? This reaction occurs on the surface of the instetina epithelial (mucosal) cell surfaces. 3. For hydrolysis to occur‚ the sucrose must bind to what part of the sucrase enzyme? The sucrose molecule must bind to the active

Place eggs 1‚ 2‚ and 3 into separate culture dishes containing solutions of distilled water 0% sucrose‚ 14% sucrose‚ and 40% sucrose respectively. 4. At 15 minutes intervals‚ that is after 15‚ 30‚ 45‚ 60‚ and 75 minutes‚ remove the eggs from the dishes; carefully wipe off all excess water‚ and again weigh each egg separately. Record the weight in Table 1. 5. Replace

concentration of molecules are identical inside and outside. Also‚ we predicted that if the carrot sticks were placed into higher concentrations of sucrose solutions‚ then the sticks would loose more water. The concentration of particles inside the carrot cells will be found by having them placed into various different solutions with different sucrose concentrations. This will cause the carrot cells to either lose or gain water as the control tries to reach equilibrium with the solution. By measuring

higher the concentration of solute‚ the higher the mass of the solution. Methods and Materials: For part A of the experiment‚ the following items are needed: Dialysis tubing‚ IKI solution‚ 15% glucose/1% starch solution‚ distilled water‚ balance‚ sucrose solutions (0.2M‚ 0.4M‚ 0.6M‚ 0.8M‚ 1.0M)‚ glucose test tape‚ beakers (multiple)‚ petri dish. In the experiment‚ one will measure diffusion through a selectively permeable membrane (dialysis tubing). A 30 cm by 2.5 cm piece of dialysis tubing that

grain of sugar is made of a small crystal that is made of an arrangement of molecules called sucrose. In a sugar crystal‚ the sucrose molecules are arranged in a pattern that extends in all three dimensions‚ and all of these molecules are attracted to each other by a type of interaction that binds molecules together called intermolecule forces. When you add granulated sugar to water‚ some of the sucrose molecules start separating from one another because they are attracted to the water molecules

The sucrose will test negative due to the fact that it is a carbohydrate and not a composition of organic material but rather a single part. In the test for starches‚ water again will serve a the negative control for the experiment becasue it is inorganic. it appears obvious the 1% starch solution will test positve for starches becasue it is starch. The onion juice should carry starch due to the fact that starch is stored energy for plants and onions are very bulbous‚ while the sucrose solution

When I observed the onion skin in 0.3M sucrose‚ the cells were loosely compacted. I last observed the onion membrane in 2.0M sucrose and the cells looked very thin and far apart from each other in comparison to the other slides. Table 1 shows the data I
