Introduction Have you ever seen the bread rising when it is put in the oven? Yeast is the ingredient that is causing the bread to rise. Then how does this work? What is happening to the yeast when it is put in the oven? Yeast is the single celled organism that belongs to the Fungus Kingdom. Using the basic knowledge we have, we have tested out how can we use the yeast to make the balloons inflate and made a prediction that it is the heat that is causing the bread to rise. Therefore, my hypothesis is: If the temperature of the water rises, then the balloon’s circumference will grow, because the yeast will chemically react to the heat.

Repeat this for all three balloons. Pour one cup of room temperature water (74°F) into the beaker and microwave it for one minute.
Measure that water and make sure that it is 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
Put one of the balloon into the bowl with hot water(140°F) and wait for two minutes.
Measure the circumstance in centimeters.
Pour one cup of cold water (53°F) into another bowl. Make sure that it is 53 degrees Fahrenheit.
Put one of the balloon into the bowl with cold water(53°F)l and wait for two minutes.
Measure the circumstance in centimeters.
Pour one cup of the room temperature water that is 74 degrees Fahrenheit into the bowl.
Wait for two minutes, then measure the circumstance of the balloon in centimeters.
Variables:
Independent: Temperatures of the water (hot- 140°F, room temperature- 74°F, cold- 53°F) Dependent: Circumference of the balloon (how much it inflated) Constant: Same size of the balloon, same amount of the water, same amount of yeast

It showed 0 cm of growth in circumstances after putting balloons in the water and waiting for two minutes. It did not show any reaction, but remained the same. It did not match the hypothesis at all, because my original hypothesis was that the balloon will inflate and show obvious reaction with temperatures. It did not show any growth, because we have just put two bases, yeast and water, together. There were several errors that we made in this experiment. First, we should have thought of the characteristic of both yeast and water. We only thought about why the bread with yeast would rise when it is put in the oven. We should have realized the fact that if we put the water with yeast, we are putting two bases together which is not going to cause any reactions. Also, I think we did not have enough understandings of the yeast. We should have had more information on yeast, to figure out the factors that will react to it.
Experimental Summary: First, my partner and I put the marshmallow and cheese puff on T-pins and used the Electronic Balance to measure the mass of each of them. Next, we put 100 mL of water in the 100 mL Graduated Cylinder and poured it into the 12 oz. soda can. We measured the temperature of the water with the thermometer. After
First, 100 mL of regular deionized water was measured using a 100 mL graduated cylinder. This water was then poured into the styrofoam cup that will be used to gather the hot water later. The water level was then marked using a pen on the inside of the cup. The water was then dumped out, and the cup was dried. Next, 100 mL of regular deionized water was measured using a 100 mL graduated cylinder, and the fish tank thermometer was placed in the water. Once the temperature was stabilizing in the graduated cylinder, the marked styrofoam cup was filled to the mark with hot water. Quickly, the temperature of the regular water was recorded immediately before it was poured into the styrofoam cup. The regular/hot water was mixed for a couple seconds, and the fish tank thermometer was then submerged into the water. After approximately 30 seconds, the temperature of the mixture leveled out, and was recorded. This was repeated three
Start with the hot water and first measure the temperature. Record it. 8. Then pour 40 ml into the beaker. You can measure how much water was used by looking at the meniscus.
2. A test tube was then filled with 35ml of yeast and placed in the
5.) One at a time, place your test tubes in the water bath and heat the first test tube to 25 , the second to 50 , the third to 75, and the last to 100 degrees c. Remeber to stir with your stirring rod every so often.
2. Drop a gummy bear into each of your prepared beaker or cup and place the beaker or cup
4. Pour about 300mL of tap water into the beaker. Set up a hot-water bath using a hot plate, retort stand, and thermometer clamp. Alternatively, use a Bunsen burner, retort stand, ring clamp, thermometer clamp, and wire gauze.
== == == = This is what I'm going to be changing in the experiment and this will be the temperature and the concentration of the yeast. There are several variables in this experiment, they are: · Amount Used - Too much or too little of the hydrogen peroxide causes the reaction to speed up/slow down producing different amounts of oxygen.
Wait until the water boils and record the temperature to make sure that it is 100 degrees
Put 100 ml of warm water in beaker # 2 and recorded temperature 3. Dropped a sugar cube into both beakers and recorded the time to dissolve. 4. Emptied both
Their table had 15 mL glucose, 10 mL RO water, and 10 mL of yeast which they then placed in an incubator at 37 degrees Celsius. In conclusion, I feel that the absence of RO water in the flask made the enzymes work a little harder than when the RO water was in the mixture of the flask. Comparison #4 is between the Controlled Table and Table #5. The mixture for that table’s flask was 15 mL Sucrose, 10 mL of RO water and 10 mL of yeast, which the flask was then placed in an incubator at 37 degrees Celsius.
In a 250ml beaker place 100mls of water, measure the temperature of the water and record this initial temperature onto a table. Set the timer and add one teaspoon of Ammonium Nitrate to the water, stir this continuously until the Ammonium Nitrate has dissolved. After 1 minute measure the temperature and record it, do this for a further 2 minutes (3 minutes in total). Repeat this process for a total of 10 teaspoons.
Overall, this experiment increased our knowledge of yeast’s capabilities to ferment sugars. Introduction Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the scientific name for what is more commonly known as Brewer’s/Baker’s yeast. S. cerevisiae is a part of the fungi kingdom and is
Although not shown in the fermentation reaction, numerous other end products are formed during the course of fermentation Simple Sugar → Ethyl Alcohol + Carbon Dioxide C6 H12 O6 → 2C H3 CH2 OH + 2CO2 The basic respiration reaction is shown below. The differences between an-aerobic fermentation and aerobic respiration can be seen in the end products. Under aerobic conditions, yeasts convert sugars to
