Project title: Factor affecting the rate of fermentation Aim: To find out the relationship between the concentration of glucose solution and rate of fermentation. Introduction: Fermentation is the process by which the living cell is able to obtain energy through the breakdown of glucose and other simple sugar molecules without requiring oxygen. The process allows respiration to occur in the absence of oxygen. Biologically, it allows cells to obtain energy from fuel molecules (e.g., glucose) anaerobically. Glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose, is a form of fermentation. Alcoholic fermentation occurs when yeast cells convert carbohydrate sources to ethanol and carbon dioxide. Fermentation reactions are common in muscle cells, yeasts, some bacteria, plants, beer and also wine. Fermentation occurs under anaerobic conditions. There are lots of factors that can affect the Rate of the fermentation. Factors might affect the rate of fermentation: * Temperature of the glucose solution * Concentration of the glucose solution * Volume of glucose solution *...
