yeast Flashcards
how many cells does yeast have?
single cellular
yeast contains what?(5 things)
nucleus, mitochondria, cell wall, cell membrane and cytoplasm
can they create their own food?
no
where do they get their food?
chemicals in the environment around them
what do chemicals provide the yeast?
energy
what can yeast be used for?
bread, beer/wine, kefir, food colouring and flavouring
aerobic respiration formula?
food + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water +lots of energy (aerobic)
anaerobic respiration?
food → carbon dioxide + ethanol(alcohol) + a little energy
how streak plate experiments was done?
loop placed into ethanol to sterilise and then flamed, once cool loop was placed into yeast and streaks where drawn
result of streak plate experiment
the lines became less concentrated as they were drawn around the plate
what does the rising of dough involve?
yeast
what does yeast produce?
bubbles of carbon dioxide
what happens to the carbon dioxide ?
the bubbles get trapped and the dough rises
what is the most reactive yeast?
fresh yeast
what is the least reactive yeast?
boiled yeast?
what is the fermentation equation?
Food —yeast → alcohol + carbon dioxide + energy
when fermentation has yeast what happens to the alcohol volume, biological indicator and temperature?
alcohol present, bicarbonate indicator=orange/yellow, temperature increases slightly(+ Energy produced)
brewing process
Milling → Mashing → lautering → boiling → whirlpooling → cooling → fermenting → maturing → filtering → packaging → distribution
what are enzymes made to prevent?
reactions happening quickly so a cell doesn’t die
what are enzymes made out of?
proteins
