mixed thoroughly. Test tube 1 was placed under a flame for observation. Colour change within the test tubes were recorded. Protein test 10 test tubes were used and lab-elled. 9 of the test tubes were filled with 5ml of food sample. 3 drops of Biuret reagent were added to each of the test tubes. The test tubes were gently shaken to mix the solution. Observation of colour change was

Healthy Drinks: Healthy or not? Now a days be average industries are gradually developing by every single moment. It is not hard to find health drinks in any convince or grocery store. It is everywhere. Also we can see people drinking health drinks in street as well. This new trending of replacing a meal with health drinks is booming between people at ages of 10s to 40s because they are easy to consume and more importantly healthy! Unlike a meal‚ that you have spent half an

Experiment 1: Quantitative assessment of Some Cellular Constituents Summary: Euglena gracilis are unicellular organisms in the Protist Kingdom. They are known to have both plant and animal characteristics. Although‚ Euglena cells contain a variety of cellular constituents‚ their cellular constituents should be presented in equal ratio. The objective of this experiment is to determine Euglena’s cellular components in cells and then to establish their cellular constituents by comparing the experimental

Protein Essay- Erin Keegan What are proteins? A polypeptide is a chain of monomers joined up to make a polymer. Proteins are organic polypeptides made up of a chain of amino acid residues- they’re residues because they lose a water molecule. The amino acids (monomers) join up by forming peptide bonds. When two amino acids join together‚ they become a dipeptide. This happens when the carboxyl group of an amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid link up through a condensation reaction (which

ups Identifying food groups in unknown solutions Aim The aim of this experiment is to identify different food groups within several different unknown solutions. This will be carried out by placing the unknown solutions into separate test tubes and using different chemical indicators to see if any reactions occur. Each food group will act different when the chemical indicator is added‚ some will change colour while others will separate. Introduction Food is a vital source of energy that is

three chemicals‚ Lugol’s solution‚ Benedict’s solution‚ and Biuret solution. The tests were qualitative and tested for the presence of sugars‚ starches‚ or proteins within a given substance. The substances were already known‚ so the tests were used to figure out what each solution showed presence of. After going through all of the tests‚ Lugol’s solution showed the presence of starch‚ Benedict’s solution showed presence of sugar‚ and Biuret solution showed presence of protein. In this lab‚ these solutions
