hypotheses based on predictions questions. First‚ yeast will metabolize sugar and produce a gas. This is because yeast is a living organism and all living organisms like yeast must use energy (such as sugar) to obtain energy. Yeast will metabolize sugar and gives off carbon dioxide as a by-product. For the second hypothesis‚ we were expecting that yeast will produce a gas when sugar is available. For the third hypothesis‚ we did not expect yeast to produce a gas when no sugar or other food is available

Enzymes are a type of protein. They are catalysts meaning they speed up the rate of the reaction. Enzymes activity depends on the concentration of the substrate‚ temperature and the pH. The more concentrated the substrate is the more reactive the enzyme is. The optimal pH for an enzyme is 7.5 and the optimal temperature for an enzyme is 53 Celsius. Extremes in the temperature and the pH of an enzyme can denature therefore destroy it. The enzyme that is in this experiment is Amylase. Amylase is found

Osmosis investigation Aim: To investigate how sugar concentration affects the mass or size of a potato and find out the sugar solution. Introduction: Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane form a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration until the concentration on both sides is equal. This means that osmosis is like diffusion involving water molecules. Osmosis occurs across a partially permeable membrane‚ with holes

January 1999 B io Factsheet Example glucose fructose galactose Number 39 Carbohydrates: Revision Summary Carbohydrates contain 3 elements: Carbon (C)‚ Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O). Thus‚ if we remove water from carbohydrates‚ all that remains is carbon. Carbohydrates can be divided into 3 categories; monosaccharides‚ disaccharides and polysaccharides (Table 1). Table 1. Structure of monosaccharides‚ disaccharides and polysaccharides Category Monosaccharide (made of 1 sugar molecule)

pressure‚ intensity and type of exercise. When performing a cardiovascular exercise‚ the blood becomes directed to the muscles that are physically conducting the exercise. As well as when the blood volume and flow return to the heart‚ it increases which makes the left ventricle expand and adapt to a different situation. Due to this‚ the heart can register a higher level of blood and eject it at a faster rate to all living cells and membranes. This increases the heart rate because the movement of

How Variations Of 5‚ 10‚ 15‚ 20‚ And 25 Squats Affects the Respiration Rate In 14 Year- Old Year 9 Boys. The human respiratory system is made up of the lungs and the passages that lead to them. Air is breathed into the lungs‚ and oxygen from the air passes into the blood‚ which carries it around the body. The waste product‚ carbon dioxide‚ is then passed from the blood into the lungs and is breathed out. This all happens with the immense help of oxygen‚ to maintain a functional human body. However

is fueled by‚ and dependent on‚ ATP and NADPH from the light reactions. Unlike the light reactions‚ which take place in the thylakoid membrane‚ the reactions of the Calvin cycle take place in the stroma. In the Calvin cycle‚ getting pulled into the cells using RUBISCO to facilitate the process incorporated gaseous CO2 molecules. RUBISCO acts much like a sponge with a great absorptive power to suck up the CO2 from the air surrounding a plant. Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms

The purpose of the experiment conducted was to observe if a higher concentration or lower concentration gradient would affect the diffusion rate of the iodine moving through the starch concentration. This was shown to be an accurate experiment as with a higher concentration gradient the diffusion that did occur happened a lot faster and diffused more efficiently compared to no iodine solution and just water. This is due to the molecular collisions speeding up the experiment in the time period given

3A Task 1 Aim: the aim of the experiment is to find the best temperature to ferment yeast at. Hypothesis: the yeast will ferment the best at 60 degrees Celsius. Independent variable: the temperature of the water the yeast is put in to ferment. Dependent variable. The amount of air bubbles the yeast produces. Controlled variable: the amount of yeast and glucose in each syringe. Uncontrolled variables: human error in counting. Materials : Plastic soft drink bottle cut to size Marking pen
