The experiment aimed to help answer the question: Which ingredient, vanilla, flour, or cinnamon, would have the highest rate of alcoholic fermentation in yeast? The hypothesis stated that the vanilla would have the highest rate of fermentation in yeast because it had the most sugars. The hypothesis was rejected because out of vanilla, flour, and cinnamon, flour had the highest rate of fermentation. At 12 minutes, the height of bubbles produced by fermentation in flour was 1.6 cm, while at the same time the height of bubbles produced by fermentation was .4 cm for cinnamon and .6 cm for vanilla. The height of bubbles produced by fermentation for the control variable was .7 cm. One error that could have occurred in the experiment that caused
The purpose of this experiment was to test multiple brands of popcorn under the same setting in order to conclude which one statistically popped the most kernels. I tested the butter flavor of Orville Redenbacher, Wal-mart’s Great Value brand, and Pop Weavers. The different bags of popcorn were popped in the same microwave for the same amount of time, 3 minutes and 15 seconds. Then, the popped corn was counted, as well as the un-popped kernels, in order to determine a ratio, and then I recorded the results in the data table. I repeated these steps two more times for a total of 3 trails for each brand. Then I compared the ratios of all the bags to determine which brand yielded the most popped corn. The statistical technique used to evaluate the data was to find a ratio between the number of kernels in the bottom of the bowl and the number of popped kernels. To find this, I divided the number of the actual popped corns by the total number of kernels left in the bottom of the bowl. The ratios and percent were then compared. Once all my results were in the data table, I averaged the 3 trials for each brand of popcorn.
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.
Fermentation is undoubtedly the most important stage to achieve the taste of the beer, because while sugar transformation into alcohol and carbonic gas takes place, yeast produces other substances in very small quantities, which are responsible for the aroma and flavor of the beer. The development of chemical analysis procedures that took place during recent years allowed a more comprehensive understanding about beer composition. It is therefore during the fermentation process that the beer style is created. This process normally will take a month.
Analysis: In this experiment, every substance tested positive for at least 1 organic compound. Corn oil tested positive for lipids. Honey and oats tested positive for starch. Honey, apple juice, and unknown 1 tested positive for sugar. Egg white, gelatin, and unknown 2 all tested positive for proteins. So, not a single substance didn't test positive for at least 1 organic compound. All the indicators used in this experiment change color when in the presence of a compound; therefore, they chemically react with the compound. No errors were made during this experiment
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
Before the food lab experiment where we tested milk, crackers, bananas, and egg whites for simple sugars, starch, and proteins I expected to learn about what foods contained any of the three possibilities, if not all of them. The lab provided my group and I information afterwards that can further my education into macromolecules and biology as a whole subject. My group and I predicted that milk will contain simple sugars, crackers will have simple sugars and starch, bananas will have proteins, and the egg whites will contain proteins. If milk does contain simple sugars, during this lab when my group and I test, then the milk should turn from a blue color to a green, yellow, orange, or red color when heated. Crackers should have the same outcome as milk if it does contain simple sugars, but if crackers also have starch the crackers should then turn into a blackish color. We predicted that bananas contain protein and if so, then the solution should turn from a light blue to either a dark blue or a purple. Finally, egg whites are what my group and I finally predicted to contain proteins. If our hypothesis is correct, the solution should do the same as it does for the bananas.
The purpose of this lab was to investigate the amount of sugar in carbonated beverages by using the density of solutions, and also to create a standard curve with the percent sugar in sugar solutions.
Purpose: The purpose of this science project is to determine if the yeast is alive. We know that many bacteria are alive, and we know the signs of life. These include breathing, moving, eliminating the body, and eating. If yeast displays these requirements, we can conclude that yeast is alive. Hypothesis: If yeast is combined with sugar, it will produce signs of gas, leading to the chemical reaction between sugar, water, and the shaking movement that is used to produce heat and movement, allowing the production of gases out and into the balloon.
Before the experiment could begin, it was vital to find out which of the 94 rats formed a conditioned taste for ethanol, this was achieved with aversion therapy whereby the rats were deprived of water for 24 hours, and then given 15 minute acccess to a water bottle the next day, this was then repeated but the water was replaced with 0.2% saccharin solution and also injected with ethanol. After another water deprived 24 hours, the rats had access to two bottles, one containing water and the other with 0.2% saccharin solution. The dependent measure was the percent of saccharin consumption on the test day thus the rats that consumed less than 1ml of total solution were excluded from the experiemnt, leaving the researchers
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
Hypothesis: If the mass of yeast (g) is increased the rate of fermentation of glucose (mL/s) will increase.
The purpose of this lab was to determine the percent of sugar in a solution as well as the percent sugar in a non-diet soda. The experiment was The experiment was carried out by comparing densities of sugar in soda to the density of sugar in solution of water. After the experiment it was found that the manufacturers measurements were accurate.
When conducting the experiment the results for each alcohol were where they were anticipated to be supporting the
Fermentation a metabolic process with occurs in the absence of oxygen molecules also known as an anabolic reaction. It is a process of glycolysis in which sugar molecules are used to create ATP. Fermentation has many forms the two most known examples are lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation (Cressy). Lactic acid fermentation is used in many ranges from food production such as bacteria to its use by fatigued muscles in complex organisms (Cressy). When experimenting with organisms such as yeast which was done in this experiment you follow the metabolic pathway of Alcoholic fermentation (Sadava). Where the sugar molecules are broken down and become ethanol (Sadava). But the end product of fermentation is the production of
