1B). The tube with germinating peas had the heights rate of oxygen consumption. The reasoning behind this is because the peas were doing aerobic respiration in which the oxygen was consumed by the peas and the carbon dioxide was released from the peas. The thermobar tube had the lowest rate of oxygen consumption because the glass beads did not undergo aerobic respiration, rather potassium hydroxide reacted with carbon dioxide to form the potassium carbonate and water. In fact, the thermobar data displayed a negative slope of the amount raw oxygen consumption, showing that as the reaction continued that the amount of oxygen that was consumed decreased. In regards to the slopes, the scatterplot shows that there was a positive slope for the germinating …show more content…
We included four additional samples in addition to the ‘Anaerobic Distillate’ because each tube serves as a way of, demonstrating how the process works or does not work depending on the content in each tube. For example, water contains oxygen therefore, fermentation would not occur because the process of fermentation occurs because there is a lack of oxygen. We used ethanol and water to see if one of the end products of fermentation, ethanol, along with would yield a precipitate, which it did, unsurprisingly. Next, corn syrup was the negative control, meaning that we would expect no change or precipitate formed in which that expectation held true. Further, we used wine distillate which has a high concentration of alcohol that would yield to a precipitate. C. We can conclude that it allowed us to determine that anaerobic distillate, wine distillate and ethanol and water yielded a precipitate and that the ethanol was present. This shows that during ethanol fermentation of yeast, water and corn syrup distillate did not form precipitate, thus no ethanol present which demonstrated that distilled corn syrup and water do not allow for fermentation to take place while wine distillate and the ethanol and water combination does indeed produce
The aim of this experiment was to see how temperature affected the rate of fermentation. To test this a yeast and glucose solution was submerged in water baths with the temperatures of 20oC, 30oC and 40oC. The test was left over night to gain optimum results. The rate of fermentation was measured by the amount of carbon dioxide produced. It was believed that the solution submerged in the 40oC water bath would produce the most carbon dioxide and therefore ferment the fastest. Results showed that the hypothesis was correct as after 25 hours the solution submerged in the 40oC water bath had produced the most carbon dioxide.
Abstract: This lab’s purpose was to see how different levels of yeast, distilled water, and sugar interact to affect the level of carbon dioxide evolved in fermentation. In this experiment we had two sections. The first section tested four test tubes with varying levels of yeast, glucose and distilled water for evolved carbon dioxide levels. The tubes were timed for 20 minutes. The amounts of solution in the test tubes are noted in the methods section of this lab report. The second section of the lab used three test tubes and flowed the same procedure except added spices. The levels of ingredients are also in the methods section. The main goal of this experiment was to see the effects of yeast concentration.
Then we inverted the tubes so an air bubble would form in the little tube that is now upside-down. Now that we know what to do, we marked the little tube 2/3 full. One tube was filled to that line with glucose solution, another with fructose solution, sucrose solution and the last one with water. Next, the little tubes were topped off with a yeast solution. Then we slide a big tube over the little one and completed the inversion, this is done for every little test tube. After they are all inverted our group measured the bubble present at the top of the little tube. Then we put all of the inverted test tubes into a hot water bath for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes we took the tubes out and measure the air bubbles in the tubes. Next, we recorded the data calculated the net change from the beginning of the experiment to after the hot
The experiment answered the question; How do yeast metabolize different fuels? My hypothesis was that yeast could metabolize some fuels and not others, but all the fuels would be metabolized at a different rate. My prediction was that yeast could metabolize all the fuels we used, but it would metabolize at different rates. Yeast metabolizes different fuels by fermentation without the presence of oxygen; this is the method we used in the lab. The control group produces carbon dioxide because there are still different sugars in the water. These sugars are there because we used normal tap water, which contains many different molecules and ions inside the solution. It is important to have the control group to compare to the other fuels because we can see how much the other fuels have created compared to the normal water from the
The two hypotheses tested during the experiment were the warmer the temperature, the more oxygen will be consumed, and the germinated peas will consume more oxygen than the dry peas. Some conditions that had to remain constant in this experiment were that each vial had to have the same volume to let us know that the volume of the vial wouldn’t affect the respiration rate. Had the volumes been different, the respiration rate might have been affected. Another constant was the 7 minute equilibrium period before completely submerging the vials in the water. This allowed the peas and the other substances in the vials to begin respiration before being completely submerged in the water, but also, they would have the same time to carry out
The control in the experiment is distilled water, as it does not contain sucrose solution.
In this Lab, the amount of Carbon Dioxide produced will be the highest in the germinating seeds, because they are undergoing the highest amount of cellular respiration, as they need energy for growth; the same reason why the non-germinating pea will have the lowest amount of Carbon Dioxide. The amount of Oxygen consumed by the cold germinating peas will be substantially less, as when the temperature decreases, so does the amount of kinetic energy, so the molecules function slower.
Cell respiration is the most prevalent and efficient catabolic pathway. It require transfusions of energy from outside sources to perform their many tasks. The the objective of this experiment was to measure the concentration of oxygen gas and carbon dioxide gas. Also to determine whether germinating peas respire. The hypothesis would be that germinating
2g of yeast, 2g of glucose, and 100 mL of distilled water at 40°C were combined in a 250

This project is about yeast fermentation in different environments. Yeasts are microscopic organisms that are a branch of fungus. Yeasts are required to obtain food from their surroundings. They also feed off of sugar and starches. Fermentation is a metabolic process that converts sugars to acids, gases, and or alcohol. In the case of this experiment, the yeast will turn the sugars into carbon dioxide (gases). This project is important scientifically because it will provide society information about which environment s yeasts should be put in to induce the highest amount of fermentation. In a baker's case, this would be important because
For the experiment, the changes of temperature on anaerobic fermentation the process in which cells undergo respiration without oxygen in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was observed. The purpose of this experiment was to test the effect of four different temperatures on the rate of carbon dioxide production in yeast by measuring the fermentation rate. Saccharomyces cereviviae, also known as Baker 's yeast, is a unicellular, eukaryotic sac fungus and is good for this experiment because of its characteristic of alcohol fermentation. It was hypothesized that fermentation increases with increased temperature to a point of 37°C; above that point, enzyme denaturing will occur and fermentation will decrease. The group was able to document the carbon dioxide production and mark each of the temperature intervals which were tested at temperatures 4°C (refrigerator temperature), 23°C (Room temperature), 37°C (Human body temperature) and 65° Celsius (Equal to 150°F). The experiment was conducted by pouring yeast solution with 2% glucose in fermentation tubes, placing the tubes in the appropriate incubation temperature, marking the rise of the gas bubbles in the fermentation tubes which indicated carbon dioxide production. The results of this experiment were not supported by the hypothesis, creating different results from what was predicted. It is important to understand the fermentation rate of yeast so
cervisiae in order to test the hypotheses that, if yeast is placed in environments such as skim milk which have high concentrations of lactose, it will not ferment properly. However, if it were placed in glucose-rich environments fermentatin would occur. Our results showed that if yeast is placed within environments such as 10% glucose, 10% sucrose, 5% glucose: 5% sucrose, or power drinks such as Gatorade and Red Bull, which have higher concentrations of glucuse, higher fermentations rates of yeast occured. To conduct our study, these different liquid samples were exposed along with a skim milk and a control of water to yeast in seven sealed and labled fermentation tubes in an incubator at 37 degrees celcius for a period of one hour. Throughout the hour at ten minute intervals, fermentation rates were measured through CO2 production, and were found to have steady rates increasing in solutions containing higher glucose or sucrose concentrations. However, fermentation production increased during each ten minute interval, despite Red Bull and Gatorade leveling out between twenty to forty minutes, and then speeding up afterwards (Figure
This fermentation process is similar to making bread, but the desired product is alcohol rather than carbon dioxide.
Objectives of this experiment included determining whether ethanol can be separated by distillation leaving a concentrated dye powder behind, driven by the heat of your hand and learning the process of distillation from the hand boiler.
