Are there any differences in the rate of metabolism of a dried yeast culture with differing carbohydrate sources? In the current practical that was undertaken the growth rate of yeast (S. cerevisiae) with differing carbohydrates sources : Glucose (C6H12O6)‚ Fructose (C6H12O6)‚ Lactose (C12H22O11)‚ Xylitol “(CHOH)3(CH2OH)2” and Water (H2O) as a Control were observed. “ Yeast are single-celled fungi which consist of more than one thousand different species which have been identified. The most commonly

Biofuel Enzyme Kit Katie Adamson Biochemistry Laboratory‚ BIO124L 1/29/15 Abstract The objective in this lab was to determine the effects different conditions had on the enzyme cellobiase. We examined reaction rates in the presence or absence of an enzyme‚ the effects temperature and pH changes on the enzyme and the effects enzyme concentration and substrate concentration had on the enzyme. As expected results showed us that cellobiase works optimally when conditions are favorable. We see this

Results The objectives of this experiment were to investigate diffusion of molecules across a membrane and the factors that affect the rate of diffusion. The hemolysis time of sheep erythrocytes was measured for each of eight different nonelectrolyte solutions by eleven groups in BI 108 Section D2. These eight nonelectrolytes were urea‚ thiourea‚ methanol‚ ethanol‚ propanol‚ ethylene glycol‚ diethylene glycol‚ and triethylene glycol‚ and the mean hemolysis times can be seen below in Figure 1.

has a deoxyribose. In this lab we were focusing on DNA and its extraction from wheat germ. There are two to three basic steps in DNA extraction. The cell must be lysed to release the nucleus. The nucleus then must also be opened to release the DNA. At this point the DNA must be protected from enzymes that will degrade it. Once the DNA is released‚ it must then be precipitated in alcohol. Procedure: This lab was spilt over 2 lab periods. During the first lab period the

Safety glasses must also be worn throughout the lab to protect the eyes from chemicals. Potential injury may arise from razor blades and cork borers. Lab coats must be fully fastened to protect clothes from staining. 2. Chemical Hazards The solvents (acetone and methanol) should not be inhaled as it can cause damage to mucous membranes. They can also

purpose of this experiment is to use spectrophotometry to determine the percentage of copper in a copper-clad penny‚ and to determine the thickness of copper layer on the copper-clad penny. Introduction: In the spectrophotometric analysis of a penny lab‚ we will be conducting three experiments. The purpose of the first experiment is to find the maximum absorbance on the spectrometer to obtain the optimum wavelength. Once we have gathered that information‚ we will use the results in the other two experiments

The purpose of lab number thirteen was to examine the response of the daphnia to a chemical stimulant. Also examined was how human resting heart rates differed from the daphnia’s. Stimulants are any substances that raise the levels of activity in the body. Stimulants could be a number of things such as physical or chemical. Physical stimulus usually deal with something that affects the five senses such as sight‚ hearing these could be attributed to loud noises or too much light going into your eye
