IBsurvivor98 Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Hey guys! So basically, I did my bio IA on different sugars affecting yeast respiration. My IA showed that glucose produced more c02 than sucrose did, however, my teacher told me that sucrose is supposed to produce more. I looked up online, literally half of the studies show that glucose produces more and the other half show that sucrose produce more. Heres what I think: Glucose will probably produce more C02 quicker than sucrose as it is a monosaccharide whereas glucose is a disaccharide. However, in the long run, since sucrose will yield twice the amount of glucose ( as it is made up of glucose + fructose ) sucrose will evolve more c02. My experiment lasts only 20 mins for one trial. So is glucose supposed to yield more c02 or sucrose supposed to yield more c02 in 20 mins? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha alright gotta admit it sounds complicated enough.I personally think you should go with your experiment results instead of manipulation according to various studies.Limitations can be discussed in your lab report.

IBsurvivor98 Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 It's not a joke. Im begging someone to give me input on this.... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
