Respiration Lab Aim: To identify the products of anaerobic respiration in yeast Apparatus and Materials: boiling tubes‚ delivery tube‚ bungs‚ sugar‚ yeast‚ lime water‚ liquid paraffin‚ Bunsen burner Procedure: Water was first boiled in the boiling tube. A small amount of sugar was then dissolved into the boiled water‚ which was allowed to cool. A little bit of yeast was added then stirred. Apparatus was set up as shown in Figure 4. A layer of liquid paraffin was added to the surface of yeast/sugar

Task 4 (P4) P4: Explain the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body In your role as a health and social care professional in a respite care home you have been asked to prepare a booklet to explain to your client group how the body requires and uses energy. You should produce an information booklet that gives an overview of how energy is produced and utilised in the body. You booklet should include information on: * Energy forms * Energy

Digestive system and respirational system 4) What is meant by the term metabolism the chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life. 5) Why cant a single cell grow very large? If it grows too large it will not be able to take sufficient food and oxygen or eliminate waste molecules fast enough. 6) Why must large organisms be multicellular? To overcome the problem of small cell size. Metabolism is the total of all the chemical processes that take place in the body

Lab: Cellular Respiration in Yeast Lab Report Form Your Name: Katlin Moore “What do you think? – What do you know?” Questions: In this lab‚ we will investigate the effect of sucrose concentration on the rate of cellular respiration in yeast. Under specific conditions‚ yeast will convert sucrose into glucose and then use this glucose in cellular respiration. Yeasts have been used by humans in the development of civilization for millennia. What is yeast? How have humans used yeasts?

Chapter 37: Water and sugar transport in plants Water moves from areas of high water potential to areas of low water potential. Water’s potential energy in plants is a combination of (1) it’s tendency to move in response to differences in solute concentration and (2) the pressure exerted on it Plants do not expend energy to replace water that is lost to transpiration when stomata are open and photosynthesis is occurring. Instead‚ water moves from soil and roots to leaves long a water potential

Biology Lab Report 7 “Independent Assortment & Dihybrid Cross” 10-22-2013 Biology 202 Introduction: In genetics‚ when crossing a purebred white flower with a purple flower‚ we might expect its offspring to be a blend of both colors. Instead‚ we see that its offspring is purple as well. This is led to be by one trait being dominant over another trait. Gregor Mendel came up with a theory that each member of a pair of homologous chromosomes separates independently

The use of yeast as a food dates all the way back to the Ancient Egyptians. Note that unlike the yeast used to leaven bread‚ nutritional yeast is inactive. It has been deactivated so that it cannot be used to make bread rise or convert sugar into alcohol. It is also different from brewer’s yeast‚ though the two are strains of the same fungus. The main difference is the source. As its name suggests‚ brewer’s yeast is a product of the brewing industry; it is typically bitter because it is grown

Exercise 7: Respiratory System Mechanics: Activity 1: Measuring Respiratory Volumes and Calculating Capacities Lab Report Pre-lab Quiz Results You scored 100% by answering 5 out of 5 questions correctly. 1. Which of the following statements describing the mechanics of breathing is false? You correctly answered: d. Ventilation relies exclusively on contracting skeletal muscles. 2. The contraction of which of the following muscles will increase the thoracic cavity volume during inspiration?

1.) When you forcefully exhale your entire expiratory reserve volume‚ any air remaining in your lungs is called the residual volume (RV). Why is it impossible to further exhale the RV (that is‚ where is this air volume trapped‚ and why is it trapped?) This "dead space" of air needs to stay in your lungs constantly; otherwise the lung will completely deflate. If the lung has every bit of air sucked out of it‚ it will collapse and need to be re-inflated. 2.) How do you measure a person’s
