Tipping up the balloon causes the baking soda to mix with the vinegar and the resulting reaction gas pumps up the balloon. Balloons expand to different extents depending on how much carbon dioxide gas is produced and this depends on the quantity of baking soda and vinegar used. Place 1 teaspoon baking soda (4g sodium bicarbonate) in the balloon. Add 4 tablespoons of vinegar ( 60 ml of 5% acetic acid) into a 1 liter water bottle. Stretch the mouth of the balloon over the mouth of the bottle then turn the balloon completely upright so that the baking soda inside the balloon pours into the vinegar.
The Active dried yeast is a type of original all-natural yeast that has been used by generations of bread bakers. The yeast activity may decrease if it comes into direct contact with salt or sugar. When all ingredients are mixed together, the yeast will converts simple sugars into carbon dioxide, alcohol and water. The CO2 expands in the dough to produce gaseous bubbles. All these bubbles cause the bread to rise.
Purpose/ objectives: 1. To learn if food concentrations affect yeast activity 2. To improve skills in writing a lab report better 3. To practice measuring skills 4. To understand how yeast works Materials: * * 6 identical large test tubes (18 X 150mm) * 1 graduated cylinder (24ml) * Molasses stock solution ( 1:4- molasses: water) Dropper * Yeast suspension (1 gram of dry yeast in 100 mls water) * Aluminum foil * 1 test tube rack * 1 graduated cylinder (small) * 1 beaker * 6 small test tube (10 X 75mm) * Rule marked in millimeters Hypothesis: If you add more molasses to the yeast then the gas would became greater because the yeast cells reproduce so the waste became greater and
Therefore, we hypothesized that fructose, which is a 6 carbon sugar, will be likely to ferment more readily than ribose, which is a 5 carbon sugar, when in the presence of yeast. Because this sugar is structured with the hydroxyl group and oxygen molecules flipped on the fourth carbon of the carbon backbone, it’s ability to ferment yeast is increased. 6 mL of yeast was introduced to a fermentation flak and combined with 6mL of Arabinose and Galactose. We allowed each of the tubes to ferment for 10 minutes in a 37° water bath. At the end of the designated period of time, observations were made regarding the amount of carbon dioxide bubble present in the top of the fermentation flask.
To add on, yeast is one of the many important ingredients used in baking. This enzyme converts sugar (glucose) to carbon dioxide and ethanol which causes foaming. The foaming liquid travels into the air pockets and lets loose carbon dioxide and alcohol making the dough rise and hold high. The alcohol let off contributes to the bread’s own flavor. For example, when baker’s make dough for bread, they use yeast to make the dough rise and become bigger, fluffier and softer.
High-fructose corn syrup metabolizes to fat in the human body much faster than other sugars, resulting in increased fat gain. Since the fructose is consumed in liquid form, the negative effects on human metabolism are even greater (Barrett). High fructose corn syrup is not digested by the body as easily as natural sugar is. It takes the human body one day to digest natural sugar, while it takes up to four days to digest a serving of high fructose corn syrup. This means that your body is continuously working to digest high fructose corn syrup if the body consumes processed foods or drink soda on a regular basis.
Experiment: Yeast Cells and Haemocytometer Research Question: What is the number of yeast cells per cm³ in different dilutions factor of yeast suspension? Hypothesis: The higher the dilutions factor of yeast suspension, the lesser the number of yeast cells. When the dilution factor increases means that the volume of the distilled water is higher than the number of yeast cells suspended in the solution. So the number of yeast cells will decreases. Variables: | | Units | Range | Independent variable | Dilution factor of yeast suspension | | 2-4 | Dependent variable | The number of yeast cells in one primary square | | | Controlled variables | Units | Method for control/possible effects on results | (1) Volume of distilled water | cm³ | 9ml of distilled water is used to diluted the yeast suspension | (2) Volume of yeast suspension | cm³ | 1ml of yeast suspension is taken from each of the test tubes during the dilution series | (3) Magnification of objective lens | | 10× of objective lens is used to focus on the primary square.
The fermentation process occurs when the yeast feeds on the sugar in the wort turning it into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The fermentation process takes about ten days. Once ten days have lapsed, the liquid can finally be called beer. There are two different types of fermentation that can take place. The first is top fermentation, which Rob and his crew use to make Ipswich Ale.
The Green House Effects is one of the main causes of this warming. Some greenhouse gases are needed. “The greenhouse effect is unquestionably real and helps to regulate the temperature of our planet.” (EPA) Without the GreenHouse effect the Earth could not be warmed. Human activity is adding more of these gases. “The increase in the mean temperature of the earth due to excessive emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrogen.” ( Green) These extra gases are making it hard for heat to escape the Earth’s atmosphere resulting in warmer temperatures.
This principle is stated in Boyle's Law. Energy for the expansion is drawn from the expanding gas itself, thus causing a lowering of temperature in the gas. Steam engines and turbines, rockets, and internal combustion engines are powered by the expansion of gases. Bread rises in baking because heat expands the carbon dioxide gas it contains. Expansion of Liquids Unlike gases, liquids expand at different rates, depending on their composition.
