examine the rate of alcoholic fermentation using various carbohydrates. Hypothesis: If the yeast is placed in 5% glucose or sucrose solutions‚ then carbon dioxide production will increase over time. If boiled yeast is placed in a 5% sucrose solution‚ then carbon dioxide production will remain constant. Variables Independent variable: Carbohydrate solutions (5% solutions of glucose and sucrose) and boiled yeast Dependent variable: Rate of reaction of alcoholic fermentation as calculated by size of

Fermentation Lab Report Introduction: Fermentation‚ a type of anaerobic respiration that breaks down glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide without the use of oxygen‚ is extremely vital in food processing. Especially useful in the making of bread and wine is yeast‚ a single-celled fungus. The rate of fermentation of these products can be done by measuring the amount of carbon dioxide produced by the work of the yeast. The specific variable we tested was the volume of fructose in each vial solution

Yeast Population Lab Report During this experiment we were trying to determine how food availability affects CO2 production (related to population growth). We investigated how one factor influences the change in yeast population growth as measured by the amount of carbon dioxide produced. The yeast that you buy in the store contains living organisms–invisible small one celled‚ microorganisms. As long as they are kept dry‚ they are inactive. When they are given food‚ moisture and warmth‚ they

Biology 260: gENETICS | CROSSES OF SORDARIA | Sordaria of Tan and Grey Allele | | Abstract: To understand the details of genetic behavior‚ Sordaria fimicola is used in this study by observing the asci produced from monohybrid and dihybrid crosses with observance to recombination. This experiment performed extended over a three week period. The strains that were used from S. fimicola were wild type producing black‚ and mutants producing grey and tan strains. There are seven possible phenotypes

In this lab my group and I tested to see how yeast would react to different substances. Yeast is a fungi that releases carbon dioxide which can be used in the process of bread making. During this lab we used sugar‚ warm water‚ cornstarch‚ yeast‚ a gas sensor‚ plastic cylinders‚ and a laptop. The process of this lab was to create cellular respiration‚ which is what cells do to break up sugars into a form that the cell can use as energy. When yeast and a certain substance were combined‚ this substance

Lab 6: Fermentation Introduction All heterotrophs go through the process of cellular respiration in order to make energy. To obtain the most energy per glucose cellular respiration is done by aerobic cellular respiration‚ but when no Oxygen is present fermentation is used. Fermentation is the anarobic process that most organisms and fungi use. It involves the breakdown of glucose into alcohol if no Oxygen is present. CO2 is also produced during this cycle. Temperature and environment can affect the

The report must be logical throughout and rationales must be explained well. Reminder: - A Graph MUST be shown; furthermore‚ you MUST add either a Table or a Figure. - 2 pages of text only (maximum). Tables‚ Graphs and Figures should be on separate‚ additional pages‚ without limits on the number of additional

The Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Yeast Respiration Abstract Carbon dioxide is a waste product of yeast respiration. A series of experiment was conducted to answer the question; does temperature have an effect on yeast respiration? If the amount of carbon dioxide is directly related to temperature‚ then varying degrees of temperature will result in different rates of respiration in yeast. The experiment will be tested using yeast and sugar at different water temperatures. I

ANAEROBIC AND AEROBIC METABOLISM Lab 5 BCEM 341 – Winter 2014 Nebojsa Kuljic 10066717 Partner: Kendra Skalyn B02 Introduction Cells of all organisms can obtain energy through the combustion of sugars‚ either in the presence of oxygen (Aerobically) or without oxygen (Anaerobically). The purpose of this experiment was to perform a quantitative investigation of the differences between Anaerobic and Aerobic metabolism using pea seedlings and yeast organisms [1]. Aerobically

In this lab‚ the class tested the effect of temperature on the rate of fermentation in yeast by measuring the height of CO2 produced in a graduated cylinder at varying degrees Celsius. Yeast can perform cellular respiration and fermentation‚ the first needing oxygen (aerobic) and the second not (anaerobic). Cellular respiration is the normal way human bodies’ make energy‚ but when lacking oxygen‚ cells undergo fermentation‚ which creates less energy than respiration‚ CO2‚ and lactic acid (though
