MACROMOLECULS LAB: What are the mystery powders? Period: 4 Asia Enoch Introduction: A carbohydrate is an immediate form of energy in your body. Monomers is smaller than a polymer. For carbohydrate the monomer is sugar and the polymer is a polysaccharides. Carbohydrates are important to our body because we need to use energy. The purpose of this lab is to figure which one is the monomer and which one is the polymer. Hypothesis: If I place two drops of iodine into the mystery powder‚ it

Food labeling has come a long way. It’s surprising but it wasn’t until 1990 that the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act required all packaged foods to include nutritional information. Required categories of nutritional labeling regulations include the ingredients list‚ serving size‚ nutrition facts‚ and daily value standards of nutrients. Additionally‚ if the product wishes to make claims about nutrients and healthfulness‚ they must substantiate them in some way. Nutritional information for non-packaged

Carbohydrates are macro-nutrient that provides energy for the body; the energy gives our cell which helps our oxygen and nutrients to function when we sleep. 1.

The liquid containing the noodles in it had turned to a black color‚ which shows there is starch present. Discussion: Starch or amylum is a carbohydrate consisting of a large number of glucose units joined by glycoside bonds. This starch is also found in green(leafy) plants as an energy store. Starches and sugars are the major carbohydrates or foods that produce energy for the body Conclusion: In conclusion the test was a success in showing the contents of protein in some of the

Macromolecules in Food INTRODUCTION The most common macromolecules found in living organisms are lipids‚ carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids. (Hillis et al 2011). Macromolecules are normally containing two or more monomers in them and their main functions are to store energy. Starch is a huge molecule made up of hundreds of simple sugar molecules (such as glucose) connected to each other. Most foods are known to be combinations of macromolecules. METHODS The tests performed were iodine

"empty calories"‚ sugars are truly important compounds from the perspective of the human body. Humans have retained the ability to synthesize all forms of carbohydrates the body needs from simple sugars. This is not the case with the other dietary macronutrients‚ fats‚ and proteins. Following ingestion‚ all digestible complex dietary carbohydrates are broken down in the gut to simple sugars before they are absorbed into the body. Within the body‚ dietary sugars are converted to glucose‚ a major fuel
