Analysis: Which sample do you suspect has diabetes mellitus? Provide your reasons. Diabetes mellitus is a condition created by the inadequate secretion of insulin from the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that allows your body to use carbohydrates or store them for future use. Inadequate amounts of insulin causes a condition called hyperglycemia‚ which is an excessive amount of glucose in the blood stream. When the blood is filtered through the kidney‚ a large of amount of glucose is retained in the

BIOL 140 Lab—The Chemical Composition of Cells Name ____________________________ I) Introduction All cells contain four major types of macromolecules: carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ nucleic acids‚ and proteins. In today’s lab‚ we will be studying three of the four-proteins‚ carbohydrates and lipids. Various chemical tests can be used to detect the presence of each of these molecules. Most of the tests involve a color change visible to the eye. If a color change is observed‚ the test is considered positive

Evaporated milk 1% sucrose solution 1% starch solution 50% egg white solution Onion juice Biuret reagent Iodine Methods: Protien test: 1. Set up four test tubes in the test tube rack. 2. Label each test tube by the tested material (deionized water‚ evaporated milk‚ 50% egg white‚ 1% sucrose) 3. Fill each test tube with 3ml of the testing solutions‚ respectively 4. Add five drops of biuret reagent to each test tube 5. Swirl each test tube until fully mixed 6. Record the color of each

Experiment 6 titled “Organic Chemistry” and the purpose of this lab is to get familiar with some organic functional group and test certain reactions of selected functional groups. To do the first part of the experiment (combustion test)‚ instructor demonstration in hood‚ and record the observation. Part A (combustion of toluene) pour 1 milliliter of toluene into a evaporating dish and ignite it with a flaming wood splint. Most importantly put the flame with a watchglass. Part B (combustion of ethyl

In order to determine which solution has protein in it. The chemical that test positive for Biuret will have a violet color. The color caused by the reaction of peptide bonds in the protons or peptides. The presences of free amino acids will not give you the violet color. With the seven test tubes of Different chemicals‚ add ten drops of (koh)

Paper Spot test‚ one would have had to apply the substance on a cardboard like paper. If it looked oily it was the biomolecule called lipid. The result of test one was it stayed the same‚ it did not turn oily and was clear. Next was the test called Biuret test‚ this was to test if it was a protein. If it was a positive control it would break down into 2 colors of maroon-brownish. While substance 1 stayed clear with a blue-green tint. Concluding that the substance is definitely not a protein. The next

BIOLOGY LABORATORY Biologically Important Molecules Carbohydrates‚ Proteins‚ Lipids‚ and Nucleic Acids Objectives In this lab you will learn to: 1. Perform tests to detect the presence of carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids 2. Recognize the importance of a control in a biochemical test 3. Use biochemical tests to identify an unknown compound Introduction Organic molecules are those primarily made up of carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen. The common organic compounds of living

Specific Objective: Carry out test for reducing sugar‚ non reducing sugar‚ starch ‚ protein and lipid. BIOCHEMICAL TESTS Reducing and non-Reducing Sugars Sugars can be classified as either reducing or non-reducing based on their ability to reduce copper(II) ions to copper (I) ions during the Benedict’s Test. Reducing sugar have contain free aldehyde or ketone group and have the ability to reduce copper(II) ions to copper (I) ions during the Benedict’s Test. All monosaccharides are reducing
Premium Sucrose Benedict's reagent Glucose
In the lab‚ three experiments were completed: the Iodine experiment‚ Benedict’s experiment and the Biuret experiment to test for starch and glycogen‚ reducing sugars and protein in the respective order. 12 solutions were given where 11 were known and the 12th was an unknown. The solutions that were supplied can be found in the results and observations section of this report. When completing such experiments‚ there are always controls used to make sure the procedure is followed and that no cross

Introducton : The most common macromolecules found in living organisms are carbohydrates ‚ lipids‚ proteins and nucleic acids. Briefly‚ the meaning of macromolecules is that they normally contain two or more molecules in them and their main functions are to store energy‚ information and much more. Most foods are known to be combinations of macromolecules. While some of these compounds can be detected by taste tests‚ many cannot. Scientists then use certain tests to determine the presence of
