  • Two Transfer Pipettes Of The Gatorade Solution
    734 words
    The Effect of Concentrations of Starch and Sugar Solutions on Synthetic Semi-Permeable Membranes By: Jamie Hardy Question: Is dialysis tubing selectively permeable? Hypothesis: If one has dialysis tubing, which is dipped in water, filled with Gatorade and starch and is left for 15 minutes, the sugar in the Gatorade will exit the dialysis and into the water. So the dialysis is semi-permeable. Materials: 16 cm dialysis tubing beaker cylinder test tubes transfer pipettes Gatorade Starch solution 10...
  • 5 Test Tubes With Deionized Water
    1,640 words
    Detection of Biological Molecules Introduction: Without carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen and phosphorus, life wouldn't exist. These are the most abundant elements in living organisms. These elements are held together by covalent bonds, ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds, and disulfide bonds. Covalent bonds are especially strong, thus, are present in monomers, the building blocks of life. These monomers combine to make polymers, which is a long chain of monomers strung together. Biological mol...
  • Exposure Solution In The Test Tube
    881 words
    MATERIAL AND METHODS Stability of cell membrane using pHF or the lab experiment for testing the stability of beet cell membranes using pH, many materials were used as follows. Obtaining a beet we punch out cores, using a cork borer. After washing the cores we put each one inside a separate test tube, and added a different pH solution in each one. After 3 minutes in these exposure solutions, we took the beet out with a dissecting needle. Then transferred each beet to a separate test tube containi...

    Planning PROBLEM TO BE INVESTIGATED Yeast enzyme specificity: Specificity of Brewers and Bakers yeast enzymes to different sugars (being monosaccharides) HYPOTHESIS I predict Bakers yeast to have a different enzyme specificity compared to Brewers yeast where more CO 2 is produced at 37 0 C. BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE Fermentation is the breakdown of sugars by bacteria and yeast using a method of respiration without oxygen (anaerobic respiration). It involves a culture of yeast and a solution of sugar,...

    2,926 words
    Materials and Methods The first experiment involved examining the effect of temperature on aerobic respiration of germinated pea seeds. The students testing the effect of temperature, will be divided into two groups. The first group is Student Pair A. They will test the effect of 10 C, 20 C and 30 C temperatures on pea respiration rate. The second group is Student Pair B. They will test the effect of 40 C and 70 C temperatures on pea respiration rate. For both groups, the first procedure calls f...
  • Phenol Red Carbohydrate Test
    643 words
    Enterobacter Aerogenes Identifying bacteria may seem like a daunting task, but if approached slowly and methodically it can be achieved. The objective assigned to each individual in Dr. Robbins microbiology lab was to identify a randomly chosen bacterium. I chose test tube number forty-six. Upon selection, I immediately conducted a gram stain to determine if the unknown was gram negative, gram positive, and find out cell morphology. I discovered that my unknown was a gram-negative bacillus with ...

  • Place With 60 Sucrose Concentration
    410 words
    The Relationship Between Food Concentration, and Respiratory Activity In this experiment different concentrations of sucrose were tested to determine which leads to the most respiratory activity in yeast. Yeast is a heterotrophic anaerobic fungus which lacks chlorophyll. Yeast is used commercially to ferment the sugars of wheat, barley, and corn to produce alcohol, and in the baking industry to raise or expand dough. Yeast or alcoholic fermentation is the anaerobic process of respiration by whic...
  • Three Test Tubes Back
    971 words
    Problem: How are carbohydrates identified as a monosaccharide? Hypothesis: I predict that when we add the Benedict's solution to the different types of saccharides and then boil it we will most be able to determine all the information the we need to accumulate to record data resulting in the conclusion for the Benedict's solution. I always plan to see the addition of the Iodine work wonders in its own way. Both ways will help us determine factors with the unknown and known carbohydrates. I also ...
  • Amount Of Water In The Test Tubes
    1,288 words
    Introduction During lab on Monday, April 9, 2002 our class conducted a lab on water chemistry and pollution. The two bodies of water that were choose as samples where, the Wall pond and the HGTC pond. Each group had to test the water for Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen, Nitrate, Phosphate, pH, and Turbidity. Only two people where chosen to test the waters for Coliform bacteria. "Coliform bacteria are not pathogenic (disease causing) organisms, and are only mildly infectious. For this reason these ...

  • Iodine And The Benedicts Test
    1,066 words
    Salivary Amylase Lab In this laboratory, I observed the process by which salivary amylase, an enzyme secreted by the salivary glands in the mouth, breaks starch down into maltose. This requires a relatively straightforward experiment with only a couple of indicators, some test tubes, and a starch source. To understand the process, one has to understand chemical reactions with enzymes and the its major role in the digestive system of the human (Chapter 37). Just to refresh the reader, I will defi...
  • Blue Litmus Paper And Red Litmus Paper
    467 words
    What is in each test-tube? What proof do I have of this? Test-tube A: Test-tube A had water in it. I can base this on the fact that it was a neutral, reacting neither to red or blue litmus paper. Phenolphthalein also did not react to this substance. The pH value was 7, neutral, also adding to the proof that this substance was water, because water is neutral. The substance was clear and odorless, and all of these reactions combined led me to my conclusion of substance A being water. Test-tube B: ...

  • Egg White And Cheese
    1,220 words
    October 14, 1998 Lab report INVESTIGATION 5: NUTRIENTS IN FOODS This experiment has to do with foods and their nutrients. We are finding out how much nutrients these 6 specific foods have and don't have: cheese, hotdogs, egg yolk, egg white and potato. We are testing them for starch, sugar, fat and protein. For my hypothesis I will start with starch. I think that cheese would not have that much starch in it for the reason of this cheese is a dairy it is made out of milk. Hotdog's don't have star...

  • Precipitates In Benedict's Solution At Ph 2
    1,131 words
    Introduction Invertase is a yeast-derived enzyme that is mainly used in the food (confections) industry where it helps prevent sugar crystallization in confections by hydrolysis of sucrose to yield glucose and fructose (web). Sucrose + H 2 O -- - glucose + fructose An enzyme is a catalytic protein that changes the rate of a reaction without itself being consumed by the reaction. Due to its protein ous nature, invertase is sensitive to its environment. In particular, changes in temperature and pH...
  • 36 0 C 14 2 Test Tubes
    3,905 words
    Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts that regulate and accelerate the rate of biochemical reactions within a cell, but are not used up or changed in those reactions, therefore are accessible for reuse. They allow reactions to occur at a lower temperature than would otherwise be necessary in their absence. However, almost every significant life process is dependent on enzyme activity and without them life would cease. Enzyme activity occurs on chemical substances known as a substrate. E...
