can predict that the tube with the highest concentration of yeast will produce the most carbon dioxide and will have the fastest rate of alcoholic fermentation. Results Two separate experiments were conducted to determine the effect of yeast concentration and pH level on the rate of fermentation. The first experiment involved the placement of different concentrations of yeast‚ glucose‚ and distilled water in four different tubes. Pipette pumps were placed on each tube to allow the solution

Functionality At Various Ph Level Abstract Enzymes can be denatured at various ph levels in which then affects the shape of the enzymes structure and reactivity. The altering of shape causes substrates to not bind in the active site (Scott Freeman‚ Micheal Harrington‚ Joan. C Sharp‚ 2009). Amylase is used as a catalytic enzyme to determine the time period to convert starch into glucose monomers and transport into the bloodstream at different ph levels. Methods involved

What pH Level Causes a Plant to Grow Best Alexis Chavez‚ Heather Nutt‚ Nguyen Phan Introduction We knew that water is normally stated as the best form of liquid to make sure plants grow as best as they can‚ but we wanted to know if causing the water to be more basic or more acidic would affect how the plant grew. Our hypothesis was that if the plant is treated with a pH of 12 then treated with another pH. Materials The materials used were three identical plants‚ that each had 4 sections that were

transmission at pH 2. At pH 9 the Trypsin has 39% light transmission. Between pH 2 and pH 9 the percentage of light transmission decreases at a steady rate‚ until it reaches pH 8 where there is a steep increase from 30% to 39% as the enzyme has reached its optimum pH at 8. During the experiment in the boiling tube this pH had the deepest red colour as the most protein gelatine was broken up. This meant that in the colorimeter when testing to see what the light transmission‚ this pH let the least light

Production of Ice Cream Using Winged Bean Milk Abstract: Ice cream utilizing winged bean (sigarilyas) milk in place of cow’s milk was produced. Although the ice cream produced did not rate very high in terms of taste‚ the texture‚ odor and appearance are comparable to that of regular homemade ice cream. The experimental ice cream was mom nutritious than the regular homemade ice cream. This was due to more protein and less fat found in winged bean milk‚ the amounts of which were determined
