Quiz
• Ends 10 minutes after it’s started
– Ends at: ____
Lab this week!
• Exploring metabolism!
– Fermentation
– Factors that affect enzyme reaction rates
– Heat production by seedlings
– Oxygen consumption by insects
Yeast Fermentation
• Yeast normally do oxidative metabolism
– Just like us (glucose + O2 -> CO2 + H2O)
• When yeast run out of O2
– They do fermentation, producing alcohol and CO2

Metabolism – the minute summary
Glucose -> -> Pyruvate -> -> NADH & FADH2 -> ->ATP
• Glycolysis
• Electron transport chain
– Glucose -> Pyruvate
– Produces 2 ATP
• Krebs cycle
– Uses NADH, FADH2 to produce
ATP
– Consumes O2, produces H2O
– Big cycle with many reactions
– Produces CO2

that can help illustrate
the above reactions..
TCA cycle
• We’re going to
look at just one
reaction.

Key experimental
point
• Normal reaction:
Succinate
FAD
Fumarate
FADH2
• Our experiment:
– We’re substituting DPIP for FAD
Succinate
Fumarate
DPIP
DPIPH2
(blue color)
(colorless)
Color change will indicate the
reaction’s progress
Succinate
Fumarate
DPIP
DPIPH2
(blue color)
(colorless)
• As the reaction progresses, our solution will
change from blue to clear
– But this change will be too small to see, so we’ll use
spectrophotometers
Measuring oxygen consumption
• How does it work?
– Insects consume oxygen
• Literally remove it from the atmosphere
– (use it for oxidative respiration)
– Insects product carbon dioxide
• Add it to the atmosphere
– (product of oxidative respiration)
– KOH absorbs carbon dioxide
• So, the volume of gas in the chamber will reduce
by the amount of oxygen consumed
KOH

different setup than we
will use)
What are mealworms?
• They’re beetle larvae!

Key points
• NaF is an enzyme inhibitor
• Remember how pipettes work
• Practice with the spectrophotometer
– Time is critical
• For respiration
– KOH is a chemical that absorbs carbon dioxide
• So the volume of gas in the chamber will reduce as the insect
metabolizes
Before you leave
• Clean up your work area
– Wash glassware and store upside down
• Show me your lab report so I can stamp it
– Need to have all data fields filled in
– Complete at home and then turn in at the beginning of
next lab
• Remember that we’ll have a quiz at the
beginning of the next class
– 6-7 questions on today’s lab
– 3-4 questions on the lab we’ll do next week
Notes for the instructor:
• Add any relevant cleanup instructions to
the final slide (that slide is a generic one
I’m adding to each presentation).
