affect homeostasis? In homeostasis‚ if the blood glucose level begins to decline‚ the pancreas releases the hormone glucagon‚ which then stimulates cells to release glucose into the blood stream. Now when the blood glucose starts to rise‚ the pancreas releases another hormone which is insulin. Insulin does the opposite of glucagon; it stimulates the cells to remove glucose from the blood. Diabetes is when the body has excess amount of glucose in the blood stream due to the pancreas not secreting

experiment was to investigate the effect of different amounts of a substrate on the respiration rate of yeast and to compare this to the effect of different amounts of glucose on the rate of yeast respiration. The substrate which I chose to further investigate was fructose. Fructose is a fruit sugar which is one of the three‚ along with glucose and galactose‚ dietary monosaccharides that are directly absorbed into the bloodstream during digestion. Apparatus 2% yeast solution Large beaker

results are Benedict’s test: orange to brick red Tollen’s test: metallic silver Starch iodine test: blue-black 3. Identify each of the samples in Part 1 as monosaccharide‚ disaccharide or polysaccharide. Water = not a saccharide Glucose = monosaccharide Fructose = monosaccharide Galactose = monosaccharide Sucrose = disaccharide Lactose = disaccharide Starch = polysaccharide Honey = primarily monosaccharides with some disaccharide Saccharine = not a saccharide Nutrasweet

monosaccharide’s Glucose * Is the most common monosaccharide‚ and it plays a major role in nutrition because it is a readily available source of energy. Fructose * Is chemically similar to glucose but it is found only in fruits & honey. GA lactose * Does not occur naturally in foods‚ but it forms as a result of the digestion of the disaccharide. Disaccharides Are formed through the combination of any 2 monosaccharides. * Glucose +fructosesucrose * Glucose+ GA lactose

Compare the Rate of Carbon Dioxide Production by Yeast under Anaerobic Conditions using different Carbohydrate Substrates. Hypothesis. The hypothesis that I draw is that "" out the five carbohydrate substrates that I will use‚ Glucose will produce the highest volume of Carbon Dioxide at every five-minute interval. Null Hypothesis. The null hypothesis that I am composing is that "" the five carbohydrate substrates that I am to use will not produce any Carbon Dioxide. Scientific Research. Under

deoxyribose‚ a component of deoxyribonucleic acid. Among the most important aldohexoses are glucose‚ mannose‚ and galactose; fructose is a ketohexose. Several derivatives of monosaccharides are important. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is derived from glucose. Important sugar alcohols (alditols)‚ formed by the reduction of (i.e.‚ addition of hydrogen to) a monosaccharide‚ include sorbitol (glucitol) from glucose and mannitol from mannose; both are used as sweetening agents. Glycosides derived from monosaccharides

reaction that takes place when yeast breaks down the hydrocarbon molecules is called cell respiration. As the aerobic respiration breaks down glucose to form viable ATP‚ oxygen gas is consumed and carbon dioxide is produced. This lab focuses on studying the rate of cellular respiration of saccharomyces cerevisiae‚ baker’s yeast‚ in an aerobic environment with glucose‚ sucrose‚ lactose‚ artificial sweetener‚ and water as a negative control. A CO2 Gas Sensor Probe is used to measure the amount carbon dioxide

Yeast and Sugar - The Chemistry must be right Jansen‚ C. Gymnasium Felisenum‚ The Netherlands 14-04-2010 Summary Yeast can metabolize sugar in two ways‚ aerobically‚ with the aid of oxygen‚ or anaerobically‚ without oxygen. In this experiment yeast ferment sugars anaerobically. When yeast ferments the sugars anaerobically‚ however‚ CO2 production will cause a change in the weight of the sugar/yeast-solution. This raises a further question: What is the effect of different kinds of sugars

you expect? If the amylase successfully digests the starch‚ I would expect a no color change occur as well as a presence of glucose in the intestine (Dialysis tubing). If the amylase only partly digests the starch‚ what would you expect to happen? If the amylase only partly digests the starch‚ I would expect to see a faint color change as well as a small presence of glucose inside the intestine. If the amylase fails to digest the starch‚ what results would you expect? If the amylase fails
