    The activities alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation allowed each group to gain a visual understanding of the way fermentation works. In the unrestricted alcohol fermentation part of the activity, each group had their own glass fermentation chamber to pour a solution in. In my group’s fermentation chamber we used starch solution alone. In the alcohol fermentation groups had a total of eight combinations to put into test tubes. In the lactic acid fermentation groups were able to make sauerkraut and yogurt using material like skimmed milk, cabbage, and yogurt culture. The class as a whole waited an entire week before making concluding observation on both alcohol and lactic acid fermentations. Introduction Fermentation can best be described as a metabolic breakdown that requires no oxygen and will still produce ATP. The two types of fermentations that the group learned about was alcohol and lactic acid fermentation. The lab on alcohol and lactic acid fermentation allowed each group to look at the way fermentation works. Through lactic acid fermentation, the groups were able to “produce” things like yogurt out of simple substances like skimmed milk and yogurt culture. With alcohol fermentation, the groups examined different types of sugar solutions combined with yeast and amylase. Moreover, with this lab we able to understand…

    Cellular respiration is the process of “breaking down organic molecules to release their stored energy” usually using glucose, and convert it into ATP through an aerobic process. (Upadhyay 2018) Cellular fermentation is also a part of cellular respiration, but it is an anaerobic process which means it does not require oxygen. There are two discussed types of fermentation: Alcohol Fermentation in which “glycolysis converts glucose in to pyruvate, producing NADH and FADH2, then pyruvate is broken…

    molecules and ATP. which stands for adenosine triphosphate, is the only usable form of energy that can be used to fuel the activities and life processes of any organism. There are two main types of cellular respiration: aerobic respiration, and anaerobic respiration. The chemical equation for aerobic respiration is C 6H 12O 6 = 2C 2H 5OH + 2CO 2 + 2ATP, which means that glucose is created when ethanol acid or lactic acid is combined with carbon dioxide and energy (ATP). Aerobic respiration is…

    to increase and stay neutral, which will in turn address the effects of acidosis, such as thiamin deficiency. Another project that was also focused on rumen acidosis was proposed by S. Roy, J. Qui, and V. Reyes, and was title “Reducing Lactic Acidosis in Cow Rumen”. This group is seeking to introduce the gene lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) into E. coli so that lactate can be broken down to energy source. However, because certain level of lactic acid is needed to help with the overall fermentation…

    Practicing regular dental hygiene like brushing after a meal and flossing before you go to bed will help to prevent cavities and remove bacteria. However, your teeth are filled with tiny little grooves that are difficult to keep clean with just the help of a toothbrush and floss. This is where dental sealants are extremely helpful. They are a thin little film that is applied to the grooves and crevices of your teeth in order to keep bacteria and food out. Dental sealants are extremely effective…

    In ancient India there was an unknown bacteria inhabiting the fruit of tall baadunga trees. The only animal tall enough to get to it at the time were elephants, but the bacteria caused rapid tooth decay in the elephant species. Ancient scientists were stumped until they accidentally discovered the chemical reaction that would save the elephants from losing all of their teeth. Elephant toothpaste is a great example of the deterioration of oxygen through a chemical reaction that humans can see…

    The 7 resources of term lactic destructive and lactate, despite biochemical differentiations, are routinely used equally. Health specialists have usually associated lactic destructive or 'the suntan' with an inability to continue with a genuine movement session at a given tumult. In spite of the way that the condition within the gymnastic contraption's strong cells have moved towards acidosis, lactate yield itself does not particularly make the uneasiness (acidosis) experienced at higher chroma…

    The classification of periapical lesions of endodontic origin and clinical evaluation of the aetiology and pathogenesis of their development There are various literatures that classify periapical lesions. Often these have been based on histological findings and so the resulting classifications having minor differences in terminology. This could easily lead to confusion between clinicians and subsequently incorrect diagnosis. The correct diagnosis of any disease is the foundation to the…

    Lactate Threshold Report

    • 2 Pages

    The lactate threshold is the exercise intensity at which the blood concentration of lactate and/or lactic acid begins to exponentially increase. The reason for the increased lactate concentration in the blood at high exercise intensities muscle cells release lactate into the blood to be converted back into glucose by the liver (see the Cori Cycle): the high rates of ATP hydrolysis in the muscle release hydrogen ions, as they are co-transported out of the muscle into the blood via the MCT—…
