The Hydrolysis of Urea by Urease Aim: To show Introduction: In this experiment yeast will be used as the enzyme. Various types of sugars will be used as the substrate. In this experiment the yeast will anaerobicly respire. When yeast anaerobicly respires it will breakdown the glucose into ethanol, energy and carbon dioxide. The amount of carbon dioxide released the measurement of the rate of reaction. The control I am going to use is distilled water this will show that the enzyme yeast cannot break down just any substance, and that it must contain a specific bond. This experiment will show whether or not an enzyme can break down similar substrate to the one it is specified for. Diagram of apparatus: Procedure: 10 drops of yeast was placed into five different fermentation tubes. Each also contained 10 drops of one of the following: * Distilled water * Glucose * Galactose * Fructose * Sorbose It was then filled up...
