Identifying Which Test Tube Will Produce More CO2

6. What results would you expect if the experiment started with glucose and Lugol’s Solution

8 test tubes were then labelled A-H, 1ml of DCPIP was added to each of the test tubes. 2ml of NaHCO3 was added tubes A through G.

1. Fill in the table below with the results from the monosaccharide test experiment, and your conclusions based on those results.

There are many substances that can be manipulated and cause the rate of reaction in fermentation to either speed up or slow down. Substances that alter the rate of the reaction could be temperature of the water, the yeast concentration, pH, and the glucose concentration. In the experimental group of the experiment the amount of yeast concentration was manipulated. The objective of this experiment was to determine what factors affect the rate of the fermentation. To test this objective we changed the amount of yeast being used. A higher yeast concentration replaced the controlled yeast amount. A prediction made by my group was that higher amount of yeast would speed up the process of fermentation. Our null hypothesis is there will be no

The purpose of this lab was to test different substances using various procedures to see what biomolecules were present and ultimately find out what restaurant Anna Lyza had eaten at before she died. For the first control test, we used vegetable oil to test for lipids. So, if the solution does not contain lipids, it does not become translucent when placed onto a paper bag square and held up to a light. So, it is a negative result. However, in the presence of lipids, the solution will become translucent when placed onto a paper bag square and held up to a light. Therefore in this case, the result is positive. On the other hand, we used albumin egg to test for proteins in another control test. If the solution does not contain proteins, it will not experience any color change and so it is a negative result. When there are proteins existing in the solution, it will turn bluish/purplish and for this reason it is a positive result. Furthermore in the third control test, we used dextrose to test for simple carbohydrates such as glucose. If the solution does not contain simple carbohydrates, it will not undergo any color change and will remain a blue color. So, it is a negative result in this circumstance. If there are simple carbohydrates present in the solution, the solution will turn reddish and so the result is positive. For the last control test, we used starch solution to test

In the experiment we used Turnip, Hydrogen Peroxide, Distilled Water, and Guaiacol as my substances. On the first activity, Effect of Enzyme concentration of Reaction Rate for low enzyme concentration, we tested three concentrations of the turnip extract, and hydrogen peroxide. For the Turnip Extract I used 0.5 ml, 1.0 ml, and 2.0 ml. For hydrogen peroxide we used 0.1 ml, 0.2 ml, and 0.4 ml. We used a control to see the standard, and used a control for each enzyme concentration used. The control contains turnip extract and the color reagent, Guaiacol. We prepared my substrate tubes separately from the enzyme tubes. My substrate tube

Given the background, we hypothesized that for the first experiment, the lactase will break down lactose in milk and have a similar effect to sucrose. We also predicted that the Milk + Lactase reactant would have more glucose, the Milk + Water reactant would have a little bit of glucose broken down, the Sucrose + Lactase reactant would have less glucose than the Milk + Water reactant, and the Sucrose + Water reactant would have little to no glucose at all. As for the first procedure of the second experiment, we had hypothesized the more basic the solution would become, then the more glucose there would be. Our prediction for the first procedure of the second experiment was that there would be no glucose found in the solutions containing pH 4 and pH 7. For the second procedure of the second experiment, our hypothesis was that glucose would be present in the reactants at 4ºC and 25ºC while the reactant that had been in the hot water bath at 100ºC would have little to no glucose because it would have evaporated. We predicted that for this temperature experiment, the glucose would evaporate at 100ºC and would remain at 4ºC and 25ºC. For the first experiment we had found that a reactant of Milk + Lactase have high levels of glucose, while the other three reactants do not. As for the second experiment, for the first procedure, amounts of glucose were found in

There were several steps completed to prepare for the experiment. Three dialysis tubes were filled with approximately the same volume of distilled water and then were tied shut. The initial mass (in grams) of the tubes was taken using a triple beam scale. I then filled three 500 mL beakers with 400 mL of water each and dissolved different masses of solute (table sugar) in each beaker in order to make 5%, 10%, and 20% solutions. The beakers were labeled accordingly, and then 20 g, 40 g, and 80 g (respectively) of table sugar was weighed out using a digital scale and placed into the corresponding beakers. The sugar was stirred in using a stirring rod until all of the solute was completely dissolved.

In part II of the lab six small glass tubes were obtained in a test tube rack. Ten drops of distilled water were then added to test tube 1, five drops to tubes 2-4, and no drops in tubes 5 and 6. Five drops of 0.1M HCl were added to test tube 5 and five drops of 0.1M NaOH to test tube 6. Five drops of enzyme were then added to all tubes except tube 1. Tube 3 was then placed in the ice bucket and tube 4 was placed in the hot bucket at 80-900C for five minutes, the remaining tubes were left in the test tube rack. After the five minutes five drops of 1% starch was added to every tube and left to sit for ten minutes. After ten minutes five drops of DNSA were then added to all the tubes. All the tubes were then taken and placed in the

The procedure for this experiment was to first obtain four balloons and blow them up in order to stretch them. Then obtain and fill the four large test tubes each with thirty milliliters of warm forty degrees Celsius water and two grams of dry yeast which was weighed on a scale and scooped out by a spatula. After five milliliters of water, ten percent glucose, fructose or sucrose went into one of the four test tubes. Then parafilm was placed on top of each of the test tubes to seal them and they were swirled activating the yeast through rehydration. After swirling the film was removed and the balloons were tightly placed on the test tubes. Then finally observed the tubes build up of CO2 all the while swirling gently every fifteen minutes, recording observations.

The independent variable is sugar concentration. This will be changed by using solutions with different amounts of sugar (2%, 6%, 10%).

Lab Three: Glycolysis, Respiration and Fermentation focused on the process of glycolysis and fermentation by measuring the rates of reactions when different carbohydrate substrates were introduced to the experiment. The metabolism of different types of carbohydrates differ because of the varying amount of bonds per substrate. Glucose has the smallest number of bonds, whereas starch has the highest. The number of bonds can either create a longer or shorter reaction due to the amount of time it would take to break them. The water variable in this experiment can not react to the yeast because yeast needs certain types of carbohydrates to ferment and create CO2. The specific question addressed in this experiment was: How much CO2 was produced by each type of carbohydrate, and which types had the largest/smallest amount of yeast fermentation in 90 minutes? The carbohydrate that will cause the yeast to undergo glycolysis and fermentation the most rapidly will be glucose because it has not as many bonds to break as maltose and starch.

In this lab I am trying to determine the amount of CO2 produced when sodium bicarbonate and acidic acid are combined in water. To do this I will combine them in a closed container with a ballon on top. The CO2 released will then fill the ballon allowing me to measure the amount produced. The variables I will test are: amount of reactants, temperature of the acidic acid, different acids, and the concentration of acidic acid. I am under the impression that changing some of these variables will affect the production of CO2 enough that we can measure it.

In order to fully combine the solution, each test tube was shook twice, followed by placing a balloon over it in order to track the metabolic rate of the yeast, by

Hypothesis: The yeast will have a greater rate of respiration for the natural sugars specifically the glucose and lower rate of respiration for the unnatural sugars
