Editor's Notes

  • #3 This slide could be something like, "We are going to talk about fermentation and cellular respiration,
  • #4 I thought we'd include the illustrations for our story on the "big screen." Once I have drawn everything I will scan the pictures and put them on the slides here.
  • #10 This lab involved the quantitative measurement of carbon dioxide (CO2) production associated with the respiration of both a snail and an Elodea plant in water. The Elodea plant was kept in the dark for this procedure to ensure CO2 production rather than oxygen (O2) production. Phenolphthalein (a pH indicator) was used in conjunction with NaOH as indicators to determine how much CO2 was present after the plant and snail had respired for fifteen minutes underwater. The amount of NaOH used to restore the pH of the solution back to a slightly basic state was measured. The amount of NaOH used to restore the pH was determined to be the amount of CO2 present in the solution after the organisms had respired for fifteen minutes. Respiration rate per milliliter of organism (mL NaOH/mL organism) was then calculated based on these results. The results of this experiment concluded the snail had a respiration rate of 0.114 mL NaOH/mL organism and the Elodea plant had a respiration rate of 0.2 mL NaOH/mL organism. The data collected in this experiment indicate that the Elodea plant may have a higher respiration rate per mL of organism; however, the snail’s shell contributed significant mass but did not respire. Further experimentation would be necessary to determine a more accurate respiration rate of the snail.

  • #16 This lab involved the quantitative measurement of carbon dioxide (CO2) production from the process of fermentation. Seven test tubes were filled with combinations of seven different variables: water, yeast, MgSO4, NaF, Glucose, and Na Pyruvate. Some variables were activators and one was an inhibitor. A control test tube was assigned for each variable. The test tubes were carefully inverted inside a bigger tube so as to not create any air bubbles within the smaller tube. The test tubes were then placed inside an incubator set at 37 Celsius for 40 minutes. The incubation process caused some CO2 release, which in turn caused a small air bubble to form at the top of the inverted test tube. The size of the bubble was measured and recorded. We then determined the effects of the activators and inhibitors as they interacted with one another during this experiment. Of the solutions containing yeast, it was discovered that yeast in combination with MgSO4 and glucose produced the most CO2 while yeast and water alone produced the least CO2. These results are not surprising, as MgSO4 and glucose are both activators while the yeast/water solution contained no activators at all.
