Biology Revision Notes Biochemical Tests: Proteins - add biurettes reagent to the sample. If protein is present‚ clear colour change from blue to purple. Reducing Sugars – add Benedict’s reagent to the sample. Heat in Bunsen or water bath. If reducing sugars are present‚ clear colour changes from blue -> orange red precipitate. Lipids – dissolve sample in ethanol. Slowly pour the solution into the water slowly. If lipids are present a white emulation forms on the surface. Starch – add iodine

Biology coursework The aim of this experiment is to investigate the affect of pH on the enzyme amylase. The amylase is used to break down the polysaccharide starch. Amylase is a digestive enzyme classified as a saccharidase (an enzyme that cleaves polysaccharides). It is mainly a constituent of pancreatic juice and saliva‚ needed for the breakdown of long-chain carbohydrates (such as starch) into smaller units. Amylase is also synthesized in the fruit of many plants during ripening‚ causing them

Biology - Main Questions And Answers: Complete the table with a tick if the statement in the first column is true‚ for each process. Write a simple equation to show how ATP is synthesised from ADP: ADP + Pi ATP Give two ways in which the properties of ATP make it a suitable source of energy in biological processes: 1. Energy released in small/suitable amounts 2. Soluble 3. Involves a single/simple reaction Humans synthesise more than their body mass of ATP each day.

piece of fruit the best after a week? Population of interest- The population of interest is the pieces of fruit we are using. The fruit is what we are experimenting on. Experimental Design- For our experiment‚ we chose three types of fruit to put into the three different wrappings. We did this so that we could have replication. The fruits we used were strawberries‚ apples and bananas. We put each fruit into a piece of saran wrap‚ tin foil and a plastic baggy. We put all of the fruit inside of

Juice is a liquid that is naturally contained in fruit and vegetables. It can also refer to liquids that are flavored with these or other biological food sources such as meat and seafood. It is commonly consumed as a beverage or used as an ingredient or flavoring in foods.Juice is prepared by mechanically squeezing or macerating fruit or vegetable flesh without the application of heat or solvents. For example‚ orange juice is the liquid extract of the fruit of the orange tree‚ and tomato juice is the

Part 2: Effects of Environment on Mitosis. Experimental Hypothesis: If we put onion root tips in IAA solution then the rate of Mitosis will increase. Null Hypothesis: There will be no difference Part 1- Post Lab Question If a cell contains a set of duplicated chromosomes‚ does it contain any more genetic information than the cell before the chromosomes were duplicated? No‚ because if it is duplicated‚ it would have the same number of chromosomes unless there was a

Section 1 : Identifying the Genetic Material Griffith’s Experiments In 1928‚ Frederick Griffith‚ a bacteriologist‚ was trying to prepare a vaccine against pneumonia. A vaccine is a substance that is prepared from killed or weakened disease-causing agents‚ including certain bacteria. The vaccine is introduced into the body to protect the body against future infections by the disease-causing agent. Griffith discovered that harmless bacteria could turn virulent when mixed with bacteria that cause

AP Bio Essay #1 To address this problem created by the lab tech‚ I would set up an experiment like the one we did in AP biology to identify the molarity of the unknown sucrose solutions. First I would pour an equal volume of each solution into beakers labeled A‚ B‚ C‚ and D. I would also have a beaker of the same amount of distilled water to serve as a control for the experiment. Then I would obtain several baby carrots‚ 4 per beaker. I would mass the groups of 4 potatoes before placing them
