The results of the procedure showed that maltose produced greater amounts of CO2 than the sucrose did within the same time period. The argument for this is that sucrose is comprised of fructose and glucose, and thus requires more enzymes to accommodate the different monosaccharides than maltose, which is comprised of two glucose molecules. During the first ten minutes, the yeast produced similar levels of CO2; however, in the period of 15 to 30 minutes, the yeast with maltose produced greater CO2 levels than the yeast with sucrose, converging at approximately 35 minutes at 19 ml. The results of the experiment could be considered unreliable due to the lack of repeated trials, and possible errors in calculations. The results could be considered

    In glucose-galactose malabsorption the receptors for glucose absorption are inhibited, however GLUT5, which is required for the absorption of fructose, is not inhibited. The blood glucose levels rise when the patient consumes fructose, because it can be absorbed into the cell and taken out into the blood stream unlike glucose. Lactose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and galactose; this would not cause an increase of blood glucose because neither of these monosaccharaides can be properly absorbed. However sucrose is composed of glucose and fructose, the glucose will not be able to be absorbed. Fortunately fructose will be able to leading to an increase in blood glucose levels.…

    These solutions include glucose, maltose, honey, lactose and beer. There was precipitation formed in these solutions, which resulted in the colour change indicating that sugar must be present in these solutions for this to occur (Nigam et.al, 2003). Monosaccharides such as glucose, maltose and lactose are all defined as simple sugars and since they showed a positive result in this test, it indicates that the Benedict’s test was performed correctly (Alberts et. al, 2014).…

    Based on the data collected, the color of 0.0M is clear, 0.2M is blue, 0.4M is yellow, 0.6M is green, 0.8M is red, and 1.0 is black. The relationship between the change in mass and the molarity of sucrose within the dialysis bag is directly proportional. When the mass percentage increase, so does the molarity. This is because the molarity of sucrose in the bag determines the amount of water that would either move in or out of the bag. If all the bag were to be placed in 0.4M sucrose solution instead of distilled water, bags that have molarity greater than 0.4 would have an increase in mass because water move into the bag to equalize the concentrations.…

    before the filtration process Is because the sucrose would not be pure enough and would have a very low percentage composition due to the fact that it would have many impurities from other components. The impurities will be in the Sucrose because it is insoluble and does not dissolve in DCM. Thoroughly stirring the mixture is required before filtration to make sure all the other components are dissolved in DCM excluding the Sucrose. So initially, the Solid here which is Sucrose will remain undissolved and will be collected through Vacuum Filtration. b. DCM is used to remove the impurities from the sucrose, because DCM is denser than water and that’s why when DCM is mixed in water, the DCM remains at the bottom of the beaker.…

    The yeast consumes the sugar and turns it into energy and carbon dioxide. Over time the sugar would reduce as the yeast consumes it. The yeast over time may have had less energy and therefore behaved differently. This change in behaviour may have had an effect on the catalase enzyme by perhaps reducing the amount which would decrease the reaction rate.…

    Introduction Enzymes, which speed up a chemical reaction without being consumed or changing the products of the reaction, are very important because they control the cellular activity of all living organisms. Enzymes are also described as being “catalysts”. In biological systems, specific enzymes catalyze particular cellular reactions. Each enzyme has a unique 3-D shape, and this shape determines which reaction it catalyzes. However, in order for a chemical reaction to move forward, an energy barrier must be, which is precisely where enzymes are crucial.…

    Enzymes are true catylst that exist in the living matters, helping to speed up the reactions and to keep up the metabolisms within the cell. Enzymes will work properly when working in favorable condition and with substrates that will bind easliy to form products. Enzymes bind to specific sustrates for form specific product(s) in different parts of the cell. These happens in the active site where chemical reaction begain as substrates are binded to the enzymes. Enzymes have different shapes, bond attractions or size that will fit to particular substrates and may also cause configuration changes within the enzymes that produce products.…

    1. Flavin monooxygenase (FMO) and cytochrome P450 (CYP450) are both enzymes that are involved in phase I metabolism. They are classified as microsomal enzymes that require oxygen and NADPH. These enzymes are involved in the conversion of lipophilic compounds to more hydrophilic metabolites by adding molecular oxygen, which ensures rapid excretion. There are genetic variants with both classes of enzymes, which may contribute to interindividual variability in drug response.…

    Enzymes are biological highly selective catalyst, greatly accelerating both the rate and specificity of metabolic chemical reactions, from the digestion of food to the synthesis of DNA. Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions involving the substrate. Substrate is a molecule that attach to the active site of the enzyme protein which an enzyme acts. Active site is a small port in an enzyme that helps enzyme to bind with substrates and undergo a chemical reaction. During this binding of substrates with active site it creates enzyme substrate complex, which is the complex where the reaction occurs.…

    Carbohydrates can be classified into three groups: monosaccharide, disaccharides and polysaccharides. Monosaccharide is simple sugars, and its main representatives are glucose (manufactured by plants during photosynthesis), fructose (found in honey) and lactose (found in milk). The union of two monosaccharaides forms disaccharides, and his best-known representatives are sucrose and lactose. Sucrose consists of a glucose molecule and a fructose molecule. Sucrose is the sugar we consume at home, which we use in our coffee, juices, pastries etc.…
