Glycolysis (pressure measurement) with Cobra4

Principle

The aim of this experiment is to prove glycolysis by means of measuring the CO2 production under various experimental conditions (temperature, pH).

Benefits

• Compact, easily transportable setup
• For both demonstration and student experiments
• Flexible experimenting thanks to wireless data transmission
• Additional experiment in plant physiology and biochemistry can be performed with few modifications
• Data acquisition with tablets possible
• With detailed experiment guide

Tasks

1. To identify glycolysis by measuring the production of CO2 and plotting graphs.
2. To investigate the influence of temperature and pH on metabolic activity.

What you can learn about

• Glycolysis
• Yeast fermentation of sugar
• CO2 pressure measurement
