Name industries that involve yeast
rising of dough, beer making, wine making
1 of 43
What is yeast?
A single celled fungus, which needs sugar for food
2 of 43
What is the word equation for fermentation by yeast?
glucose - yeast - = carbon dioxide + a little energy (alcohol)
3 of 43
Name industries that involve bacteria?
Cheese and yoghurt making
4 of 43
Name a different fermentation process (not yeast)
the souring of milk
5 of 43
State the aerobic respiration equation ?
glucose+oxygen = carbon dioxide+water+lots of energy
6 of 43
State the anaerobic respiration equation?
glucose - yeast - = carbon dioxide + a little energy (alcohol)
7 of 43
What conditions do yeast need?
temperature, food source(glucose/maltose) and sterile conditions(no competition)
8 of 43
What is batch processing?
All the ingredients are added to large tanks and after a period of time the product is removed
9 of 43
Why must barley be malted in the brewing process?
So that the starch change into maltose sugar. then yeast feed on the maltose sugar and change it into alcohol.
10 of 43
State the fermentation of lactose equation?
lactose sugar, bacteria = lactic acid
11 of 43
How can environments be damaged by untreated sewage?
fish die and other organisms can also die
12 of 43
What are 3 diseases caused by untreated sewage?
typhoid, cholera, and dynestry.
13 of 43
What should you do when working with microbes in the lab?
tie hair back, wear lab coat, wash hands = to avoid contamination
14 of 43
Why are bacteria needed in the sewage treatment works?
for the breakdown of harmful sewage into harmless sewage
15 of 43
Bacteria at the sewage works need oxygen. How is this provided?
large siring machines, filter beds of stones = increase o2 levels
16 of 43
Name 2 useful products made from wastes?
biofuel (made from methane) Animal feed (made from proteins)
17 of 43
What are alcohol and methane products of?
Alcohol fermentation
18 of 43
What is the advantage of using fuel from fermentation rather than fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are running out and they cause pollution
19 of 43
What does asexual reproduction mean?
only one parent is involved in reproducing offspring
20 of 43
What do microbes carry out?
asexual reproduction - very quickly
21 of 43
Microbes can be used to make protein rich food like....
animal feed or quorn for humans to eat
22 of 43
Why is high temp steam cleaning needed in labs?
to kill resistant spores
23 of 43
Bacteria are important in the recycling of what?
carbon and nitrogen
24 of 43
In the carbon cycle.. bacteria...
decompose organisms and release carbon dioxide
25 of 43
In the nitrogen cycle.. bacteria..
decompose organisms and release nitrogen
26 of 43
Describe the nitrogen cycle?
bacteria change nitrogen to ammonia. bacteria change the ammonia to nitries. bacteria change the nitries to nitrates. bacteria also change nitrates back to nitrogen.
27 of 43
Where do bacteria gain energy from?
decomposing organisms
28 of 43
Why does the complete breakdown of sewage require aerobic conditions?
because the bacteria need oxygen in order to break down the sewage
29 of 43
Why are a range of microbes needed at a sewage works?
there are lots of different types of sewage, each type of microbe only break down one type of sewage. this is why a range is required
30 of 43
What are the advantages of upgrading waste?
saves energy, increase protein levels - make animal food
31 of 43
What are bacteria controlled by?
their chromosomes
32 of 43
Genetic engineering is when?
a gene from one organism can be inserted into a different organism
33 of 43
What is an example of a product from genetic engineering?
insulin - used by diabetics to control blood sugar levels
34 of 43
What do biological detergents contain?
enzymes which are produced by bacteria
35 of 43
What are antibiotics used for?
to kill bacteria
36 of 43
State one advantage of G.E
larger quantities of products can be made at a faster rate
37 of 43
What is the advantage of G.E over S.B
G.E is faster, get desired product
38 of 43
Why is their a greater demand for more insulin?
the population is getting larger - more diabetics
39 of 43
Why do bio detergents work better?
enzymes are present which digest stains
40 of 43
Advantages of bio detergents are?
clean clothes better. require lower temps - saves energy
41 of 43
Immobilisation is when?
substances are trapped in jelly beads so they can be used again and are not wasted
42 of 43
Continuous flow processing is when...
substances are continually added to a large fermenter, pass over immobilised beads and product is continually produced
