conducted to evaluate ethanol as a fuel‚ the experiments are Fermentation and Calorimetry. Fermentation will find the best combination of sugar and yeast for optimum ethanol production and the Calorimetry experiments test ethanol against other alcohols and fuels to see how it matches up in terms of energy production. Fermentation shows glucose and baker’s yeast as the fastest producers of ethanol and the calorimetry proves that ethanol and other alcohols produce more heat energy than other fuels. Introduction

Cellular Respiration  Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules‚ like glucose‚ to carbon dioxide and water. C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O → 12H2O + 6 CO2 The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell. The process occurs in two phases: glycolysis‚ the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid the complete oxidation of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and water In eukaryotes‚ glycolysis occurs in the cytosol.

Title: Amount of Oxygen‚ Mung Beans (Vigna Radiata) Consume during Cellular Respiration Introduction: Cellular respiration is a catabolic reaction that refers to the process of converting chemical energy of organic molecules into a simplify form so it can be used immediately by organism. Glucose may be oxidized completely if sufficient oxygen is available‚ by the following equation: C6H12O6 + 36 ADP + 36Pi + 6O2(g) 6 H2O + 6 CO2(g) + 38 ATP + heat All organisms‚ including plants and animals

Louis Pasteur And The Alcoholic Fermentation Abstract: Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) was a French chemist and microbiologist known for his discoveries in the field of vaccination‚ pasteurization and microbial fermentation. His discoveries have saved many lives and his contributions to science‚ technology‚ and medicine are nearly without precedent. This paper will focus on one of the aspect of his work that relates mostly to chemistry: the alcoholic fermentation. Louis Pasteur:

DESIGN: Research Question What effect does varying the alcohol concentration of yeast have on its fermentation? Introduction Fermentation is the stage during which most CO2 is produced. When no oxygen is available‚ yeast will switch to an alternate metabolic pathway utilizing sugars for energy and producing‚ primarily‚ CO2 and ethanol. Yeast divides rapidly in this phase‚ reaching its carrying capacity (about 50 million cells/ml) in the wort‚ or must‚ and remains suspended

Biology Lab report #1 The uptake of neutral red dye in a yeast cell using different solutions Abstract Every cell transports materials in and out throught something called a membrane. There are many different methods of transport in the cell Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Serrano‚ 1977) We want to know does adding higher concentrations of azide more effectively block dye transport? We tested the transport of dye in yeast cells with a metabolic inhibitor. When we did this we showed no difference

Dragon fruit‚ also known as pitaya or pitahaya‚ belongs to the Hylocereus genus of the Cactaceae family. It is recognized as leathery‚ slightly leafy – skinned sweet fruit of many cactus species rooted from Mexico‚ which was believed to be then brought to Central America by the European. Nowadays‚ dragon fruits are widely cultivated in the United States‚ the South East Asia region‚ Israel‚ Australia‚ Cyprus‚ as well as the Canary Islands (Morton‚ 1987). The term “dragon fruit” is used in English

INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus L) is an evergreen tree that grows up to 10 feet under favorable conditions. They are an important food wherever grown. Archeological findings have revealed that jackfruit were cultivated in India 3000 to 6000 years ago. Jackfruit is widely grown in Bangladesh‚ Burma‚ Sri Lanka‚ Malaysia‚ and Indonesia‚ Philippines‚ Brazil and other tropical countries. It bears fruits that are green or yellow in the exterior when ripe. The
