Dialysis of starch‚ glucose and sucrose Introduction: Research question: Does the dialysis tube only allow certain substances to pass through the pores because of their size? Dependent and Independent variables: Independent variables: The temperature of the classroom The size of the molecules The size of the pores in the tube The concentration of the indicators Dependent variables: The substance will either pass the pores of the tube or not The result will vary in darkness (color) Controlled

The aim of this experiment was to show the water potentials of young‚ old and damaged potatoes and different sucrose concentrations (0.15‚ 0.20‚ 0.25‚ 0.30‚ 0.35 and 0.50). It was expected that the potatoes would lose weight as the potatoes would have lower water potential when placed in a solution ‚ and in this can be taken from the theory of osmosis which states that “the passive diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane down a concentration gradient” (Taylor and Bruenn

often found fruits. It is a five-sided sugar bound by glucopyranosyl and hydroxide ions. The five other sugars were sucrose‚ sucralose‚ aspartame‚ starch‚ and glucose. Sucrose is a disaccride found in table sugar. It is a five-sided sugar and a six-sided sugar held together by an oxygen. Sucralose is also a disaccride held together by an oxygen. The difference between sucralose and sucrose is that

(Source: Final examination‚ Apr 2013) Q1. Sucrose is the organic compound commonly known as table sugar or saccharose. Figure 1.1 shows the structure of sucrose and the process in which sucrose is broken down into its monomers. [pic] Figure 1.1 (i) Identify monomer X‚ monomer Y and process A.

Premium Carbohydrate Glucose
Monosaccharide also called SIMPLE SUGAR‚ any of the basic compounds that serve as the building blocks of carbohydrates. Monosaccharides are polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones; that is‚ they are molecules with more than one hydroxyl group (-OH)‚ and a carbonyl group (C=O) either at the terminal carbon atom (aldose) or at the second carbon atom (ketose). The carbonyl group combines in aqueous solution with one hydroxyl group to form a cyclic compound (hemi-acetal or hemi-ketal). Monosaccharides are

rate of alcoholic fermentation using various carbohydrates. Hypothesis: If the yeast is placed in 5% glucose or sucrose solutions‚ then carbon dioxide production will increase over time. If boiled yeast is placed in a 5% sucrose solution‚ then carbon dioxide production will remain constant. Variables Independent variable: Carbohydrate solutions (5% solutions of glucose and sucrose) and boiled yeast Dependent variable: Rate of reaction of alcoholic fermentation as calculated by size of CO2 bubble

molecules from an area of high concentration of sucrose solution to an area of lower concentration of sucrose solution‚ through a selectively permeable membrane. The water molecules move down a concentration gradient in osmosis. Two diagrams of osmosis are shown in figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 shows the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of highly concentrated sucrose solution to an area of lower concentrated sucrose solution. Figure 2 shows a concentration gradient

Abstract Research will be done and two experiments will be conducted to evaluate ethanol as a fuel‚ the experiments are Fermentation and Calorimetry. Fermentation will find the best combination of sugar and yeast for optimum ethanol production and the Calorimetry experiments test ethanol against other alcohols and fuels to see how it matches up in terms of energy production. Fermentation shows glucose and baker’s yeast as the fastest producers of ethanol and the calorimetry proves that ethanol and

Aim The aim is to find the concentration (mole/dm3 (M)) of solute in a potato cell by using the process of osmosis and different concentrations of sucrose solution. Background information Osmosis is diffusion of water across a partially permeable membrane. It moves from a solution with less solute concentration (high water potential) to a solution with more solute concentration (low water potential). The one with a high water concentration is called a hypotonic solution and the low water concentration

sodium carbonate as your substance. Of all the substances‚ only two were covalent and two were ionic. The ionic substances‚ sodium chloride‚ sodium carbonate‚ and salicylic acid‚ came close to the description you requested. The covalent substances‚ sucrose and salicylic acid‚ did not match the descriptions. The best substance would definitely be sodium carbonate‚ since it passed all the tests. Sodium carbonate had a high melting point‚ so it will be able to last for a long time in the kiln fire. It
