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
Researchers from the Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity examined the nutritional quality and advertising of more than 100 brands and nearly 300 varieties of cereals. They found an overall improvement in the nutrition of the cereals in recent years, but the products are still much worse than those sold to adults. In general, they have 56 per cent more sugar, half as much fiber and 50 per cent more sodium. Increasingly, breakfast cereal makers are offering more nutritious low-sugar options.
