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

dark purple/black color. The amylopectin‚ or branched portion of starch‚ forms much shorter helices and iodine molecules are unable to assemble‚ leading the color to be of an orange/yellow hue. As starch is broken down or hydrolyzed into smaller carbohydrate units‚ the purple-black color is not produced. Therefore‚ this test can determine completion of hydrolysis when a color change does not occur. Iodine solution will also react with glycogen‚ although the color produced is browner and much less

As a fact‚ there are two types of proteins: complete proteins‚ which come from animal sources and incomplete proteins‚ which come from plant sources. The first type of proteins has a higher biological value and they will help you grow muscles much faster. Since meat is one of the best source of

The three energy systems that an athlete would use during a 1500 metre race are; 1: ATP-PC System (anaerobic); 2: Lactic Acid System (anaerobic glycolysis); 3: Aerobic System (oxidative system). The ATP-PC System (anaerobic) is used during short bursts of activity during the race. This could be at the start of the race and more

feeds the germ. The endosperms job is to give needed energy to the plant so it can grow roots down for water and nutrients‚ and give it energy to sprout upward for sunlight. The endosperm is the largest part of the kernel. It contains starchy carbohydrates‚ proteins and small amounts of vitamins and minerals. Another job‚ like the rest‚ is to give it its nutritious factors. Whole grains contain all three parts of the kernel. Processing the whole grain generally removes the bran and the germ‚ just

To overcome the high detection limit of carbohydrates‚ most of the methods described in the literatures rely on some sort of derivatization technique since the introduction of a chromophoric moiety can substantially improve the sensitivity‚ and a suitable tagging of reducing saccharides usually results

One basic food is bread‚ other cereals and potatoes and the main nutrient for this type of food is carbohydrate‚ calcium‚ iron‚ B vitamins and dietary fibre. The main function of carbohydrate in the body is to provide energy. Dietary fibre is not absorbed but passes through the gastrointestinal tract‚ helping to keep it healthy before being excreted. The role of calcium is to develop and maintain
