A. Process:
“This experiment was made to demonstrate the fermentation process and how yeast reproduces through budding.” (Wile, Jay) Before the experiment continues yeast should be explained. “Yeasts are microscopic, single-celled organisms belonging to the fungi kingdom,” (Castro, By Joseph) these fungi reproduce by a process called budding. In addition, this fungus is capable of converting sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide. This experiment is able to show students the capabilities of yeast and give them more insight about Gods marvelous creations. Moreover, yeast is a big part of the human diet. ”Fungi have been used for thousands of years to modify foods and beverages.” Fogel, Robert. Due to this scientist did not pass …show more content…
Procedure:
1. Mix on packet of yeast with two cups of water in the glass. (2 and 4.2 tsp = one packet of yeast)
2. Add a single tablespoon of sugar.
3. Gently stir.
4. Let the mixture sit for at least five minutes.
5. Observe the reaction as the mixture sits.
6. Place a drop of the yeast mixture on a slide and add a coverslip.
7. Observe the slide under low, medium, and high power. Look for any signs of budding.
8. Sketch and example of the budding you may see.
9. On another slide place a drop of yeast solution and then a drop of methylene blue.
10.Sketch both and individual cell and a cell that is budding.
11. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes this time and repeat steps 6 and 9.
10. Clean up.
D. Data / Observations:
When the yeast was first added to the glass of warm water the smell of the cereal, cheerios flooded the room. The pleasant smell all to soon turned into an unexplainable, unescapable, vile smell. This overpowering smell was well put to the side when the sugar was added and the cup started to bubble. Soon a thick foam appeared on the top of the cup, much like the foam of beer. When this yeast and sugar mixture was put on a slide and examined under a microscope hundreds of yeast cells were seen. A few of which have already started the budding process. After the mixture set for 30 minutes the yeast mixture had overflown over the cup and a puddle of yeast mixture had to be cleaned up. Once the mess was cleaned this older mixture was
