Sucrose is a double sugar and one molecule of sucrose is broken into one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose by the yeast (with and enzyme called invertase) prior to fermentation. From a pure chemical reaction perspective 1kg of can produce slightly more alcohol than 1kg of glucose, but given the right environment yeast can fully ferment both. Most brewers yeast prefers glucose to fructose so the glucose will be tend to be consumed first. Glucose is more expensive than sucrose so sucrose is a more cost effective choice.
What else can I help you with?
Is it false that the energy yield in aerobic respiration is far less than that which results from fermentation?
No, it is false. Aerobic respiration produces much more energy (in the form of ATP) compared to fermentation. This is because aerobic respiration involves the complete breakdown of glucose, while fermentation only partially breaks down glucose.
How does the concentration of glucose affect the rate of fermentation?
An increase in glucose concentration typically leads to a higher rate of fermentation as there is more substrate available for the yeast to metabolize. This increase in substrate availability can result in more frequent enzyme-substrate collisions and faster production of fermentation byproducts such as ethanol and carbon dioxide. However, at very high glucose concentrations, the rate of fermentation may plateau or decrease due to factors like substrate inhibition or the accumulation of toxic byproducts.
Explain why the TSI medium contains a lower concentration of glucose than of lactose and sucrose?
When any sugar is metabolized under anaerobic conditions (fermentation), there is increased acid production; thus the butt of the tube remains acid for a longer period of time. When glucose only is fermented, acid is produced throughout the medium but due to the relatively low concentration of glucose in the medium and the aerobic metabolism that is present on the slant, nitrogenous metabolic end products soon change the reaction of the slant to alkaline. These alkaline products neutralize the small amounts of acids present in the slant but are unable to neutralize the large amounts acid present in the butt. Thus, the appearance of an alkaline (red) slant and an acid (yellow) butt after 24 hours incubation indicates that the organism is a glucose fermenter but is unable to ferment lactose and sucrose. Bacteria that ferment lactose or sucrose (or both), in addition to glucose, produce such large amounts of acid that the oxidative deamination of protein that may occur in the slant does not yield enough alkaline products to cause a reversion of pH in that region. Thus, these bacteria produce an acid slant and acid butt. The inclusion of sucrose permits separation of certain Proteus organisms which ferment sucrose from the salmonellae since both of these groups of organisms are lactose-negative and both may produce hydrogen sulfide.AC
what one requires oxygen cellular respiration or fermentation?
Cellular respiration requires oxygen, while fermentation does not. Oxygen is needed in cellular respiration to break down glucose and generate more ATP, while fermentation allows for the breakdown of glucose without the need for oxygen, producing less ATP.
Fermentation is not as energy productive as respiration because?
fermentation does not fully break down glucose molecules to produce as much ATP (energy) as respiration. In fermentation, glucose is partially broken down without the use of oxygen, resulting in lower energy yield. Respiration, on the other hand, fully oxidizes glucose in the presence of oxygen, generating a much larger amount of ATP.
Which is more complex: glucose or sucrose?
Sucrose is more complex than glucose.
Why is it reasonable that of the three sugars glucose fructose and sucrose glucose would result in the most activity during the fermentation experiment?
Glucose is the simplest sugar and can be easily metabolized by yeast in a fermentation process, leading to higher levels of activity compared to fructose or sucrose. Yeast cells can readily uptake glucose and convert it into energy and alcohol, making glucose the preferred sugar for fermentation experiments.
Why do athletes drink solutions of glucose rather then solutions of sucrose?
Glucose can be more quickly metabolized, as sucrose is composed of glucose and fructose and must be broken down into simple sugars first.
Why to supply energy in emergency glucose is injected in human body but not sucrose?
Sucrose is a complex carbohydrate while glucose is a simple carbohydrate. Sucrose can be taken but its synthesis takes time by than the person may become more week. Since glucose is already simple there is no need for its synthesis and hence it give instant energy. Therefore glucose is chosen over sucrose.
Is glucose or sucrose more easily digested by humans?
Glucose is more easily digested by humans because it is a simple sugar that can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream without needing to be broken down further. Sucrose, on the other hand, is a disaccharide that needs to be broken down into its individual glucose and fructose components before it can be absorbed.
Does fermentation produce more energy per glucose than cellular respiration?
No.
What are the six more important sugars in nutrition?
glucose, fructose, maltose, galactose, lactose, sucrose
Is sucrose and glucose present in lemon juice?
Fructose is a sugar that is naturally-occurring in fruits. Citrus is very high in fructose. It can be bought in granular form and used as a substitute for sugar. There is no such thing as "fructose acid".
Why are cooked sucrose solution sweeter than uncooked sucrose solution?
During cooking, sucrose hydrolyses into its monomers, glucose and fructose. This mixture is commonly known as "invert sugar". Invert sugar shows more sweetness than sucrose.
How canacid production by glucose and lactose fermentation be differented in the same tube?
To differentiate acid production by glucose and lactose fermentation in a test tube one must look at the neck and the butt of the test tube. Different colors indicate fermentation or non-fermentation.
Why sucrose fermentate faster than glucose?
Suggested answer only!Glucose is a single chain, fructose is 2 carbon rings attached by an oxygen atom. Is it not easier to split 2 stable rings at an oxygen (to give 2 OH groups) than it is to start carving up a straight chain molecule?
Is glucose sugar the sugar you buy from stores?
Yes, glucose is a type of sugar that is found naturally in fruits, honey, and some vegetables. However, the sugar typically bought from stores for cooking and baking is often derived from sugar cane or sugar beet, and is refined into sucrose.
