Are there any differences in the rate of metabolism of a dried yeast culture with differing carbohydrate sources? In the current practical that was undertaken the growth rate of yeast (S. cerevisiae) with differing carbohydrates sources : Glucose (C6H12O6)‚ Fructose (C6H12O6)‚ Lactose (C12H22O11)‚ Xylitol “(CHOH)3(CH2OH)2” and Water (H2O) as a Control were observed. “ Yeast are single-celled fungi which consist of more than one thousand different species which have been identified. The most commonly

Abstract The aim of the experiment is to test the existence of macromolecules which are carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ nucleic acids and proteins in given samples. The first experiment is to test the existence of carbohydrates in starch suspension and potato cell. If carbohydrate is present in starch suspension‚ the solution will turn into dark blue when iodine solution is added. If carbohydrate is present in potato cell‚ starch granules can be seen clearly under microscope when iodine solution is added

Experiment #4 (10/31/14) Lab Review Objective To introduce the basic molecules of life and to test for their presence in different substances. Introduction Macromolecules are in all forms of life. These organic compounds are carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids. These are monomers and they link together into long chains that form polymers. Different reagents can be used to find the presence of these macromolecules. Proteins are made of carbon‚ hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ nitrogen‚ and sometimes

Who Took Jerell’s iPod? Lab Purpose: Standardized Tests The purpose of testing the organic nutrients (vegetable oil‚ glucose‚ starch‚ powdered egg white) with each of the different indicators (brown paper towel‚ benedicts‚ iodine‚ biurets) was to determine the color it would turn with positive traces of the nutrient. The purpose of testing just the Distilled H2O was to determine the color it would turn with negative traces. Nutrient in the Different Foods The purpose of testing each of the

include carbohydrates‚ polysaccharides‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids. Each one of these compounds has a different purpose. Carbohydrates give energy to cells when consumed. Lipids are basically the fats of a cell. Proteins are the building blocks of muscle in a cell. Nucleic acids are used to transfer genetic information from one cell to the other. The purpose of this lab is to simply determine the absence or presence of the main chemical content of a given substance. In previous labs‚ there

Lumbriculus variegates‚ or blackworm‚ is commonly found in stagnant water along the edges of marshes and ponds. Blackworms have a closed circulatory system‚ which in the blackworm includes a large dorsal blood vessel [1]. Glucose is the most common carbohydrate and is classified as a monosaccharide and is a reducing sugar. Glucose is called blood sugar as well because it circulates in the blood. When blood glucose is high‚ the pancreas releases insulin‚ which then helps to transport glucose into muscle
