In 1876 a French scientist by the name of Louis Pasteur found something that would make college students eternally grateful of his scientific knowledge. He discovered that played an important part in making beer. Since then has been used in not only the production of beer, but also wine and the most commonly known, bread.
belongs to a group of very simple organisms commonly referred to as fungi, but the scientific name is Saccharomyces Cerevisia. Fungi exist nearly everywhere on the planet, including the air. There are over 473 species of known today. This massive overtake of fungi could be due to the fungi's rapid reproduction rate. They reproduce by a process called fission which is also referred to as budding. During budding the cell wall swells in order to create a new bud. This newly created bud then breaks off from the original cell to become an independent cell.
is most commonly known to reproduce asexually or reproduce self-fertile. Some produce sexually, but that is only a very minuet number. The most reproduction is created in substances containing much sugar. For some reason or another, this appeals most to the , causing it to grow at a rapid rate.
Just like any other organism, in order for to survive they need to have a significant amount of nutrition. Unlike plants, lacks the chlorophyll needed to create its own food. It feeds on the sugar of many different resources to stay alive. Some of the most popular are different fruits and nectars. Also, molasses seems to be a prime choice as the feeding ground for .
When the yeast has finished retrieving nutrients from the sugars, it produces enzymes which are used in many different ways. Some yeast break down sugar in alcohol. This is what is known as fermentation.
Fermentation is heavily involved in the creation of not only beer, but wine and bread as well. Bakers add yeast to the dough in order to make the dough rise. However the feat is done with the help of many other substances other than the yeast, but the yeast does play a huge role in the creation of bread. The flour added to the bread dough provides only a small amount of sugar for the yeast ...
NEWSCIENCE Two years ago, the Chrysler corporation completely gutted its Windsor, Ontario, car assembly plant and within six weeks had installed an entirely new factory inside the building. It was a marvel of engineering. When it came time to go to work, a whole new work force marched onto the assembly line. There on opening day was a crew of 15...
The health care industry has a variety of policies and standards regarding coverages for modalities. From a sociological standpoint, unconventional, alternative, or unorthodox therapies refer to medical practices that are not in conformity with the standards of the medical community. The New England Journal of Medicine defines unconventional ther...
During the late twentieth century many new diseases have been discovered. Tomisaku Kawasaki discovered one of these diseases, , or technically mucocutaneous lymph node disease, in 1961. This particular disease remained undetected for so long because its cause is still unknown. Dr. Kawasaki, a pediatrician, uncovered this disease after studying fift...
INTRODUCTIONThis report will strive to clearly discern the differences between the average home Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) and the recently developed Digital Video Disc (DVD) system. These two home entertainment components have very clear differences. It is important for consumers to carefully consider each of these concerns before deciding on t...
Flight is one of the most important achievements of mankind. We owe this achievement to the invention of the airfoil and understanding the physics that allow it to lift enormous weights into the sky. All flight is the result of forces acting upon the wings of an airplane that allow it to counteract gravity. Contrary to popular belief, the is not...
