5.) Please provide an explanation thank you very much!
In the lab, you are given four samples and told they are lysine (an amino acid), lactose (a disaccharide), insulin (a protein hormone), and RNA. The samples are in test tubes marked 1, 2, 3, and 4, but you donât know which compound is in which tube. You are instructed to identify the contents of each tube based on the information given in a-c.
a. In your first test, you try to hydrolyze a portion of the contents of each tube using enzymes. Hydrolysis occurs in all tubes except tube 3.
b. In the next test, you find that tubes 1, 2, and 3 are positive for nitrogen but only tube 2 gives a positive result for the presence of sulfur.
c. The last test you perform shows that the compound in tube 1 contains a high percentage of phosphate.
Based on these data, identity the sample in each tube below.

Experiment 1 Fermentation by Yeast Experiment Inventory Labware (4) 250 mL Beakers (1) 100 mL Graduated Cylinder (1) Test Tube Rack (5) Fermentation Tubes = (10) Test Tubes (5 plastic and 5 glass; see Figure 4) (1) Measuring Spoon (4) Pipettes (1) Ruler Note: You must provide the materials listed in *red. EXPERIMENT 1: FERMENTATION BY YEAST Yeast cells produce ethanol, C2 H6 O, and carbon dioxide, CO2 , during alcoholic fermentation. In this experiment, you will measure the production of CO2 to determine the rate of fermentation in the presence of different carbohydrates with fermentation tubes. Note: Regular table sugar is sucrose, a disaccharide, which is made up of glucose and fructose. Glucose is a monosaccharide. Figure 4: Fermentation tubes. Note how the smaller, plastic test tube is inverted into the larger glass tube. You will create five fermentation tubes in this experiment. PROCEDURE 1. In this experiment, you will mix yeast with sugar, Equal®, and Splenda®. Before you begin, develop a hypothesis predicting what will happen when the sugar/sweeteners are mixed with yeast. Will fermentation occur? Why or why not? Record your hypothesis in the post-lab questions. 2. Use the permanent marker to label three 250 mL beakers as Equal®, Splenda®, and Sugar. 3. Empty the Equal®, Splenda®, and Sugar packets into the corresponding beakers. 4. Fill the Equal® and Splenda® beakers to the 100 mL mark with warm tap water. 5. Fill the Sugar beaker to the 200 mL mark with warm tap water. 6. Mix each beaker thoroughly by pipetting the solution up and down several times. Use a new pipette to mix each solution. Each beaker now contains a 1% solution. Set these aside for later use. 7. Completely fill one of the smaller plastic tubes with tap water and invert the larger glass tube over it. Push the small tube up into the larger tube until the top connects with the bottom of the inverted tube. Invert the fermentation tube (Figure 4) so that the larger tube is upright (there should be a small bubble at the top of the internal tube). Note: Repeat Step 7 several times as practice. Strive for the smallest bubble possible. When you feel comfortable with this technique, empty the test tube(s) and proceed to Step 8. CAUTION: Do not try to force the plastic test tube into the glass test tube. This might cause your glass test tube to break, causing you injury. If your plastic test tubes do not fit easily, please call eScience Labs for replacement glass tubes. If you are able to set up at least two fermentation tubes, continue with the experiment, but know that you will have to perform steps 12-15 in multiple steps. 8. Use the permanent marker to label the fourth 250 mL beaker as Yeast. 9. Fill this beaker with 175 mL of warm tap water. It should be between 30 and 40o C (warm to the touch). 10.Open the yeast package, and use the measuring spoon to measure and pour 1 tsp. yeast into the beaker. Pipette the solution up and down until all of the yeast is mixed homogenously into the solution. Note: Make sure the yeast solution remains homogenous before each test tube is filled in the proceeding steps. The yeast density is fairly high, and the yeast may settle to the bottom of the beaker if it rests for an extended period of time. 11. Use the permanent marker to label the big glass and small plastic test tubes as 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. 12.Use the 100 mL graduated cylinder to measure and pour 15 mL of the following solutions into the corresponding small plastic test tubes: Tube 1: 1% Glucose Solution Tube 2: 1% Sucrose Solution Tube 3: 1% Equal® Solution Tube 4: 1% Splenda® Solution Tube 5: 1% Sugar Solution Note: Thoroughly rinse the graduated cylinder between each measurement. 13.Fill the remaining volume in each small tube to the top with the yeast solution. 14.Slide the corresponding larger tube over the small tube and invert it as practiced in Step 7. This will mix the yeast and sugar/sweetener solutions. 15.Place the fermentation tubes in the test tube rack, and use a ruler to measure (in millimeters) the initial air space in the rounded bottom of the internal tube. Record these values in the Table 1. 16.Allow the test tubes to sit in a warm place (approximately 30 °C) for two hours. Placement suggestions include: a sunny window sill, atop (not in!) a warm oven heated to approximately 85 °C (185 °F on an oven setting), or under a very bright (warm) light. 17.At the end of the fermentation period, use your ruler to measure (in millimeters) the final gas height (total air space) in each tube. Record this data in Table 1. 18.Calculate the difference between the initial and final gas height in each tube. Record this data in Table 1.

Post-Lab Questions
Include your hypothesis from Step 1 here. Be sure to include at least one piece of scientific reasoning in your hypothesis to support your predictions.
Did you notice a difference in the rate of respiration between the various sugars? Did the artificial sugar provide a good starting material for fermentation?
Was anaerobic fermentation occurring? How do you know (use scientific reasoning)?
If you observed respiration, identify the gas that was produced. Suggest two methods you could use for positively identifying this gas.
Hypothesize why some of the sugar or sweetener solutions were not metabolized, while others were. Research the chemical formula of Equal® and Splenda® and explain how it would affect yeast respiration.
How do the results of this experiment relate to the role yeast plays in baking?
What would you expect to see if the yeast cell metabolism slowed down? How could this be done?
Indicate sources of error and suggest improvement (for example, what types of controls could be added?).
can you guys help me with my bio lab, please. it will be due tomorrow
PROCEDURE:
- Elodea (an aquatic plant)
- 4 capped test tubes containing 30 ml of phenol red solution each
- beakers
- lamp
- drinking straw s
- aluminum foil
- test tube rack
1. Obtain and number four test tubes of phenol red either 1, 2, 3, or 4 using a wax pencil . Warning: Hold test tubes by their sides and not by their caps. The test tube caps are the â slip cap â type and consequently the glass tube can fall out if not held by hand.
2. Uncap one of the tube s and pour its contents into a small beaker. B low into this liquid using a drinking straw until its color changes to a yellow - pale orange. Return the liquid back into this tube and recap . Repeat with the other 3 test tubes.
3. Stuff a large piece of fresh Elodea into Tubes 2 and 4. Fresh Elodea are a brighter green and bushier than older Elodea .
4. Cover Tubes 3 and 4 with aluminum foil so that no light can enter.
5. Place entire rack containing four tubes under a bright lamp , positioning the neck of t he lamp so that it gives maximum exposure . Light should only penetrate the uncovered tubes (1 and 2).
6. Be sure each tube is tightly capped.
7. Observe tubes 1 and 2 throughout the lab period . After 9 0 minutes have passed , remove the aluminum foil from 3 and 4 and observe.
8. Record your observations in the table below.
9. When everyone in your group has recorded the results, clean up by pouring the liquid from the tubes into the waste disposal container and putting the Elodea into the red biohazard waste cans. R ub the wax pencil markings off with a paper towel, rinse the tubes and leave them by the sink. Thanks!
RESULTS:
tube# | description | color at 0' | at 90' |
1 | light | yellow | yellow |
2 | elodea, light | yellow | magenta |
3 | nothing | yellow | yellow |
4 | elodea, no light | yellow | organe |
. Why does the color change you observed in some of these tubes occur? 7. What do you think would happen to the tubes if they were allowed to sit overnight just as they are at the end of this experiment but with the lights turned off? 8. Why do you expect this to happen? (HINT: What other process goes on in cells that requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide?) |
