Yeast Lab Information
The Independent Variable I am changing is <<<enter IV>>
The Dependent Variable is <<<enter DV>>. It is the variable that is
changed and I will measure for the results.
Hypothesis is a prediction based on your knowledge. <<enter your
Hypothesis>>
My control experiment is going to have <<enter whats in your control
bottle>> and I will compare my experiment to it.
I will keep the following conditions constant:
Materials
<<enter a list of all the materials you need!>>
Procedure
Label 1 tube Control and 1 tube Experiment
To control tube: add 5 mL of 5% Sucrose solution (table sugar and water) and 5 mL of yeast
To Experiment tube: <<enter what you are going to change for this tube>>
Swirl
Use tongs to set tube in hot water bath thats at 38-40 C for 5 minutes. Make sure the
temperature stays constant <<if you are changing temperature tell me how here>>
While you wait, turn on your Lab quest and plug in the probe. Let the probe acclimate and 3
minutes record the amount of CO

in the air
Take your tongs and pick up the tube. Pour each warm yeast solution into a respiration
chamber. Quickly place the probe in the chamber.
Wait 2 minutes for it to equalize. Take your first measurement for time 0
Collect Data every 5 minutes

Data Analysis
<<Explain what you can say about your data.>>
Error Analysis
<<Insert sources of Error. What things could have effected your results? Did you
mess anything up>>
Questions for Analysis:
1. Why do you need to incubate the yeast before you start collecting data?


2. Yeast live in many different environments. Make a list of some locations where
yeast might naturally grow. Estimate the possible food sources at each of these
locations.

Questions for Analysis:
1. What type of cell respiration is yeast doing and what could you measure to confirm
that?


1. When bread is baked, the dough is placed in a warm place to rise. However, if you
want to bake the bread the next day the dough can be kept overnight in a
refrigerator and it wont rise. Explain why a baker can do this.

Conclusion:
In a paragraph summarize the results right into your
formal lab report. Include the following:
The purpose of the lab
What is used to indicate respiration rate
Was your hypothesis correct?
Conclusions supported by experimental data
Explain why you see the patterns you reported:
