Methods: An observation was made on whether or not the sugars‚ fructose and ribose would be fermented in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). By looking at the chemical structures of these sugars given in (Figure 1)‚ we looked for anything that might determine the metabolization of these sugars. An equal 6mL (milliliter) sample of 2.5% fructose and yeast suspension was pipetted into a fermentation tube. The same procedure above was performed with the sugar ribose which has a concentration of 2

exaggeration to say that the foundations of the modern globalised world were made of sugar. In the 15th century Europeans first encountered its sweet delights. Within a couple of hundred years the coming of sea power‚ and with it the means to create empires across the oceans‚ resulted in large tracts of land in South America and the Caribbean being seized. Much of it was used in the production of sugar‚ which was steadily evolving from being a scarce luxury to a daily necessity. The English were late starters

P. 2 What drove the sugar trade? “Give me some sugar!” When most people hear that phrase‚ it usually means someone wants a kiss. But in the late 1600s and early 1700s‚ people want to plant sugar. True‚ it started some 9000 years ago in New Guinea‚ but it took a while before the rest of the world caught on. During this time‚ there was a movement called the sugar trade. Although there were many forces driving the sugar trade‚ what mainly drove it were the ideal land masses for sugar production

Sugar and Slavery: Molasses to Rum to Slaves Jean M. West What’s not to like about sugar? On the average‚ modern Americans consume 100 pounds of sugar per year. It’s sweet‚ and it gives a big energy boost. Well‚ yes‚ there are calories‚ cavities‚ and diabetes‚ but‚ in moderation‚ sugar is harmless ... right? In 1700‚ English consumption empire-wide was about four pounds of sugar per person per year. That certainly seems moderate. Yet in 1700 alone‚ approximately 25‚000 Africans were enslaved

The Sugar Revolution Revolution means a complete change in a system. There was an economic revolution that occurred in the 17th Century. Some refer to it as the Sugar Revolution. During this period‚ several basic changes took place. (1) Sugar replaced tobacco as the chief export crop in the Caribbean. (2) The population changed from one that was mainly white to one that was mainly black because of the introduction of African slaves. (3) The size of land holdings changed. This change was pioneered

Lab on Density of Four Metals Conclusion In this lab we studied the densities of four different metals using a caliper‚ a digital scale‚ and a calculator. Three metals were pure elements like copper‚ iron‚ and aluminum. The fourth metal was an alloy which was brass. The purposes of this lab were to demonstrate that different metal elements have different densities‚ and that alloys have densities somewhere between those elements that compose them. We also calculated the percent errors between the actual

Soil Porosity & Density Objective: To determine if the porosity of soil is related to the density. Hypothesis: I think that that the porosity of soil is related to the density because the higher the density of the sand the lower the porosity of the sand‚ which are both componets for the water to rise. Materials: • Sand and Loam samples • 2 large containers • Plastic cups • Water • Scale Procedure: Loam 1) The loam without the water was fresh ‚ it had different shades of black‚ and
