Yeast_Lab

Yeast Lab Laboratory Investigation I. Identify the Problem or Purpose of the Lab: What substance will help yeast reproduce the most' II. Background Information: Yeast are eukaryotic microorganisms. Their saccharomyces are very helpful in today’s biology studies. Yet, the ease of genetic multiplication of yeast allows its use functionally dissecting gene products from other eukaryotes. http://www.swan.ac.uk/chemeng/stevep/stevep1.htm  III. State the Hypothesis or Expectations: If I put a 50/50 mix of sugar and water solution with the yeast then it will grow most rapid. IV. Explain how you are going to Test the Hypothesis or Expectations: Materials: 7up soda pop 5 grams of sugar 15 ml. of water stirring rod yeast packet 3 test tubes test tube rack balloons Procedure: 1.Mix 3 grams of sugar with 3 ml. of water and put it in the 1st test tube 2.Dump 5 ml. of 7up in the 2nd test tube 3.Dump 5 ml. of water in the 3rd test tube as a control 4.Put 2 grams of yeast in each test tube 5.Put a balloon over the top of each tube 6.Check your results in 2 days 7.Collect and record your data 8.Clean up your project and put the supplies away V.
