least about. As OpenStax CNX puts it‚ “Proteins are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules”. Proteins are “Macromolecules that contain nitrogen as well as carbon‚ hydrogen‚ and oxygen”(Miller‚ Kenneth R.‚ and Joseph S. Levine 48). Macromolecules are exceedingly large molecules that can be made up of several lesser molecules called proteins. These proteins are made up of numerous amino acids‚ which are “Compounds

compounds are soluble in water. This is due to the fact that water molecules are polar. Meaning that they have dipole bonds‚ which have a slightly positive and slightly negative end due to electronegativity differences between atoms. When ionic bonds are placed in water‚ they dissociate into their ions (positive and negative) due to the process of dissociation. These ions are then attracted to different dipoles present in the water molecule‚ in other words the negative ions are attracted to the positive

Biomolecules - Organic compounds is first due to the fact that every word on the list is an organic compound‚ as they are essential to life processes. Next‚ carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids are all macromolecules‚ as they are very large molecules composed of thousands of atoms or more. The map then divides into the four biomolecules. Carbohydrates are composed of monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ and polysaccharides. Proteins are made of amino acids‚ which are themselves made of polypeptides

BIOL 130 Lab Report Identifying Two Macromolecules - Carbohydrates and Proteins 9/26/2013 [Type the company name] INTRODUCTION As the name suggests‚ macromolecules are large molecules that make up more than 90% of the total cell mass. These biological macromolecules vary greatly in size - from several hundred to several hundred million molecular weight units - and are made up of monomer units. There are four major classes of biological macromolecules: proteins‚ carbohydrates‚ lipids

Unit 10: Biological Molecules and Metabolic Pathways C: Explore the factors that can affect the pathways and the rate of photosynthesis in plants The following report is about the factors which can affect the pathways and the the rate of photosynthesis in plants. This report will cover what photosynthesis is ‚ the factors which may affect photosynthesis in working poorly‚ light independant and dependant reaction. An investigation will be carried out which will include the factors that affect photosynthesis

In the lab‚ we use a Biological Media to aid in growth reproduction. Also referred to as a culture medium‚ a Biological Media is a substance used to support the growth of microorganisms. The two types of media most commonly used in Microbiology are selective media and differential

Major Biological molecules There are many Biological molecules but this discussion will be about the 4 Major biological molecules and how they are used in a living system. This discussion will also include major subtypes of molecules. The four Major biological molecules are Carbohydrates‚ Lipids‚ Proteins‚ nucleic acids. Carb is an abbreviation for carbohydrates. The body breaks down carbohydrates into simple sugars. Carbohydrates are easily used for energy by the body. The nervous system and brain

The primary objective of this experiment is to determine the stress that various alcohols have on biological membranes. Membranes within cells are composed mainly of lipids and proteins and often serve to help maintain order within a cell by containing cellular materials. Different membranes have a variety of specific functions. One type of membrane-bound vacuole found in plant cells‚ the tonoplast‚ is quite large and usually contains water. In beet plants‚ this membrane-bound vacuole also contains

Ellen Grant Honors Bio I Organic Compounds Problems and Objectives: The purpose of this lab was to select the suitable test for an organic molecule and define the safe process for that test. An organic molecule is normally found in or produced by living systems. (Unknown Author‚ 2014‚ www.biology-online.org/organic_molecule)In this lab one was supposed to infer the results of the test and be able to identify if major biomolecules are present. You were to analyze a variety of tests including
