Cellular respiration and fermentation - Lab Report ExampleThe key materials used be the following 10 percent sucrose solution 10 percent glucose solution peas distilled water phenylic acid red yeast stock wax pencil water bath hot plate squirtvas tubes of various sizes beaker test tube corks and holders test tube rack.The idea behind the test tubes of varying sizes is to cook a respirometer using two sizes of test tubes, for the experiment involving the yeasts. A practice session involves filling the little tube, measuring 15 x 125 mm with water, placing that inside a 20x150 mm test tube, and inverting to the geological period where the air bubble in the smaller test tube is as small as can be made from the process. In the actual experiment, trine different test tubes be filled with two thirds of either ten percent sucrose solution, ten percent glucose solution, or distilled water, and then topped aside to the brim with yeast suspension. The inversion method practiced abov e is utilized to mix the solutions and form the respirometers. The respirometers are allowed to incubate for one hour, while placed in a water bath set at 37 degrees Celsius. The gas bubble heights are calculated after the period of incubation. The idea is to be able to undertake a comparison of how the three sources of food in the test tube study with regard to their suitability as food for yeast. This is the first destiny of the experiment (Experiment 7 n.d., pp. 59-61).In part two of the experiment., 10 peas that were either soaked, not soaked, and soaked and boiled were placed in each of three different test tubes, fulled with water up to the two-thirds level, and covered with corks. After an hour and a half, two drops of oxybenzene red were placed in each of the three test tubes containing the seeds, more when no color was distinct or the color is too vague/thin. The results of the color observations were tabulated. (Experiment 7 n.d., pp. 59-61)The first part of the exper iment measured the amount of respiration from the
