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 2.5% as well. Once this was done‚ the tubes were turned upside down to remove any air bubbles formed. Both tubes were then incubated in a 37◦ C

Increased production of CO2 is a result of increased temperatures acceleration of the rate of fermentation. Abstract: We have tested the affects of increased temperature above room temperature on the rate of fermentation of yeast. We had 6 flasks filled with 6mL DI water‚ 2mL Yeast suspension and 6mL glucose of which 3 were at 25°C and 3 were at 37°C. The flasks at 37°C had each mixture pre-heated at 37°C for 2 minutes before being combined and then added to the flask where it was put into the

know that Penicillin is an extremely important drug‚ but few know just how important and influential it really is. Think about what life would be like today without it. What would be of contemporary medicine today? Would society as a whole succumb to these relentless infinitesimal organisms? What would have been of one’s ancestors if they too like so many before and after incurred a serious infection? This essay shall explore these questions and many like it. It will explain why penicillin is undoubtedly

respiration‚ or fermentation. In specific‚ how the type of sugar affects the rate of fermentation. The aim of this experiment was to find which type of sugar was best suited to produce ethanol. In the experiment‚ four different sugars were used‚ they included sucrose‚ glucose‚ lactose and fructose. This research is still relevant today‚ as alcohol is still consumed and is required on a large scale. This makes it crucial to companies to find the best sugar to use in the fermentation process.

Title : Measuring the rate of oxygen uptake. Objectives : 1. To demonstrate the uptake of oxygen in respiration. 2. To measure the rate at which an organism respires. 3. To learn how to set up the apparatus for respirometers. Introduction : Respirometer A respirometer is a device that been used to measure the rate of respiration of a living organism. This can be measured by calculating the rate of exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. A simple respirometer designed to measure oxygen

Of Sugar on Yeast Fermentation Lab Purpose: To measure and analyze the effects of various types and masses of sugar in an ethanol fermentation reaction with yeast. Introduction: Ethanol fermentation is a system in which hydrogen ions from NADH + H + are broken down in order to release the trapped energy and regenerate NAD+. In the absence of a mitochondria or oxygen ethanol is formed‚ which is typically found in bacteria and some yeast. Yeast fermentation has been used commercially

Penicillin There were many fascinating serendipitous scientific discoveries in the 20th century. One of them was the discovery of penicillin by Sir Alexander Fleming. The discovery and development of penicillin totally changed the direction of approaches to treating infectious diseases and saved millions of lives ever since (1). It was the first antibiotic to successfully treat bacterial infections. Therefore‚ Alexander Fleming‚ Ernst B. Chain‚ and Sir Howard Florey together were
