obesity percentages. Sucrose is the leading added sweetener in in the manufacture of foods in the Unites States and is the biggest source of fructose. Sucrose and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) are metabolized identically and react the same way to insulin‚ leptin and ghrelin. Sucrose is indifferent from HFCS in causing obesity. Compared to glucose‚ sucrose is extracted directly from the liver while glucose goes directly to the bloodstream causing larger sugar spikes. HFCS and sucrose have an identical

After the seven days of quantitative and qualitative data collection‚ the results showed that the substances individually had a significant effect on their respective plant. Furthermore‚ the original hypothesis was shown to be accurate regarding the sucrose and caffeine receiving plants‚ and inaccurate in the case of the plant receiving carbonated water. To begin with‚ it is important to note the control plant experienced unusual results‚ as the plant had a sharp decrease in the quantity of blooms. However

The rate of fermentation is faster when there is more sucrose concentration because it means there is more glucose‚ which in return means more carbon dioxide production. The sucrose concentrations were 0%‚ 1%‚ 5%‚ and 10%. The 0% sucrose concentration is just normal‚ plain water. Yeast‚ a single celled eukaryotic fungi‚ was put into the solutions. It uses fermentation to make more carbon dioxide and alcohol. In the 0% solution‚ no carbon dioxide had been produced. At the start‚ the depth of the

Abstract Literature on Van’t Hoff’s law states that water potentials and zero weight change osmolalities will be the same for potato cores placed in varying concentrations of solutes of NaCl‚ glucose‚ and sucrose. This experiment was designed to test these predictions and compare them to data gathered course wide. We found that the mean water potentials were all within 0.26 bars of each other‚ and that the zero weight change osmolalities were all within 0.035 mols of each other. This supported Van’t

facilitated diffusion)‚ osmosis and active transport. Diffusion and osmosis are passive movements and they don’t require any energy. Active transport requires ATP energy. OSMOSIS is the passive movement of water molecules across a partially permeable (semipermeable) membrane‚ from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration in order to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides. Tonicity is a measure of the osmotic pressure of two solutions separated by a

Sucrose Synthesis by D. DeWitt‚ PhD v1.5 11/10/12 Introduction | Condensation Reaction | Plant Synthesis | A. Introduction Although it might seem straight forward‚ the synthesis of sucrose‚ either as a simple condensation reaction (a.k.a. dehydration synthesis)‚ or what actually happens in plants is complicated. Before we explore sucrose’s creation‚ let’s take a look at its structure. In Figure 1‚ the space-filling model is pretty but rather useless at this point in our journey. We

The solution inside the sausage casing containing glucose and starch was transparent (clear) in the beginning of the experiment. After 30 min of incubation time the solution inside sausage casing was still transparent (clear). In IKI test‚ the content of sausage casing has changed color from yellow to dark purple (cuvette SI)‚ in Benedict’s test the solution from the sausage casing changed color form clear to blue after addition of Benedict’s reagent (cuvette S)‚ after heating solution in water

Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a partially permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration‚ in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.[1][2][3] It may also be used to describe a physical process in which any solvent moves‚ without input of energy‚[4] across a semipermeable membrane (permeable to the solvent‚ but not the solute) separating two solutions of different concentrations.[5] Although osmosis does
