THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES ON THE METABOLISM OF YEAST
This assignment will require you to submit a 1500 word laboratory report detailing the findings from an experiment conducted during a laboratory practical experiment, to investigate the most effective temperature for respiration of a carbon source by yeast and identify the key organelle involved in this process and describe its main metabolic function(s); and quantify experimental data. You will also explain the importance of cell respiration in other key organelles involved in yeast growth. A component of this assessment requires you to perform laboratory based practical exercises in order to obtain primary data, you will also be assessed on your ability to safely implement a range of scientific skills relevant to these exercises. Your report should include the following sections: Introduction: • Introduce the key types of cells, cell structure and organelles. [unique_solution]• Describe the range of metabolic pathways carried out by yeast • Possible uses of these organisms for industry and scientific research. • Introduce previous research on the topic. • Use suitable references • Give your research a question/hypothesis/aim. Materials and Method: Give a brief desсrіption of the procedure followed and what was used to do it, and include any health and safety measures taken. Your desсrіption should be written in a paragraph, in past tense and in third person. You should not list the instructions here as they given to you in the practical schedule. Results: • Present your data using suitable table, graphs and illustrations. • Discuss any trends and highlight any important results • Do not explain why your results have occurred in this section Discussion: Most important section. Explain the major findings of the results in the study, what they mean and why they have occurred based on the scientific information presented in the introduction. Your explanation must also link the importance of your findings on cell respiration to the process of yeast growth including gene expression. If possible, compare your results with those of other researchers whose work you may have already cited in the introduction. Also acknowledge any limitations of the experimental process. Include references. Conclusion: Summary of your main findings. If you used a hypothesis accept or reject it. Style: Third person, past tense. Spelling / grammar (Proof read your work). References Reference all work used (do not write a bibliography – reference only what you have cited) Lack of evidence of sufficient reading and referencing will result in a reduction in the marks achievable. You MUST support your work consistently with good academic/literature sources. The report must be produced using Arial size 12 and with a line spacing of 1.5. Graphs and any images used must be accompanied by an image or figure legend explaining in detail what is being shown. It must be written in third person past tense and must be referenced using CU Harvard style.
