Cellular Respiration: Using the Vernier LabQuest to detect CO2 gas production in germinating peas DESIGN Research Question: What is the effect of temperature on CO2 gas production in germinating peas? Background: The process of cellular respiration‚ which provides energy for cell growth and development‚ is an important part of life in germinating seeds. It converts the chemical energy of glucose into ATP. As a germinating seed respires‚ CO2 is produced as a byproduct. Therefore‚ the amount

understand the process of fermentation of yeast in different concentrations of sucrose. The experiment worked with yeast and sugar (sucrose and glucose) to determine the rate of fermentation by testing the pressure of C02 in the test tube. The experiment tested the metabolic capability of yeast anaerobically meaning no oxygen was present (this was ensured by the thin layer of oil on the top of the solution). This means that the metabolic rate of the yeast could be determined by testing the pressure

Cellular Respiration is part of the metabolism of organisms‚ it provides the energy for organisms’ basic life activity. The process of cellular respiration converts oxygen and water to glucose and carbon dioxide‚ and usually occurs inside of mitochondria. Thus the cellular respiration is closely related to the life of all organisms‚ especially the human. In a case study in cellular respiration‚ seven unrelated people died in five days‚ and the reason is unclear. However‚ all the victim had same

Candidiasis Commonly known as the Yeast Infection Candidiasis is an infection caused by Candida fungi‚ especially Candida Albicans. These fungi are found almost everywhere in the environment. Some may live harmlessly along with the abundant "native" species of bacteria that normally grow the mouth‚ gastrointestinal tract and vagina. Usually‚ Candida is kept under control by the native bacteria and by the body’s immune defenses. If the native bacteria are decreased by antibiotics or if the person’s

Advantages of Using Facebook in Different Aspects In the 21st century‚ social networking has become an everyday norm in society. Facebook‚ as a method of communication‚ has grown exponentially in its popularity over its time in existence. It has changed the way people operate over the last few years and is now used for all types of different things‚ from posting and sharing pictures with your friends‚ to setting up guest lists for events. Nowadays you don’t even have to be at computer to do your

The Effect Of Substrate Concentration On The Activity Of The Enzyme Catalase A Level Biology Project Aims This is an experiment to examine how the concentration of the substrate hydrogen peroxide affects the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalase. Background Information Enzymes such as Catalase are protein molecules which are found in living cells. They are used to speed up specific reactions in the cells. They are all very specific as each enzyme just performs one particular reaction. Catalase

Microorganisms Anaerobic respiration takes place in yeast and some bacteria‚ producing ethanol and carbon dioxide. They have been used in the making of many foods such as bread‚ yoghurt and vinegar‚ Lactic acid bacteria are the key ingredient in yogurt production as they they initiate the fermentation process. Many of the species used in yogurt provide added health benefit to those who eat them regularly and are often referred to as probiotics. Probiotics are believed to strengthen your immune

What is yeast? To most people yeast is just something that is in the food that we eat; However to the scientific community yeast is much more then that. According to the Dictionary of Student Science yeast is a one-celled fungi that can cause the fermentation of carbohydrates‚ producing carbon dioxide and alcohol. ( ) Yeasts are found in the soil‚ in water‚ on the surface of plants‚ and on the skin of humans and other animals. Like other fungi‚ yeasts obtain food from the organic matter around

Anaerobic and Aerobic metabolism using pea seedlings and yeast organisms [1]. Aerobically‚ sugars such as glucose are transformed into pyruvate [2] and then into Acetyl CoA. This is then put through the citric acid cycle which is a series of reactions that oxidize acetyl units into carbon dioxide [2]. Following
