Kiley O’Toole Lab Report 3 Purpose The purpose of this lab was to uncover the number of layers of zinc atoms around a piece of galvanized iron. This was done by pouring the hydrochloric acid onto the galvanized iron‚ thus removing the zinc from the piece of metal. Laboratory Procedure 1. Measured and recorded the mass of a piece of galvanized iron using a centigram balance and a ruler 2. Measured and recorded the length and width of the galvanized iron using the ruler 3. Put the

Starch‚ one variable may be observed. 2. Biuret reagent will turn your skin brownish-purple. Explain why this occurs. Biuret reagent will turn your skin a brownish-purple because Iodine detects protein in a substance by changing the color to a brown or purple shade‚ and since your skin contains protein it will also change color. 3. When greasy food is spilled on clothing‚ why is it difficult to clean with water alone? Water cannot remove grease water is polar and grease is non-polar. They are

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 testing for starch‚ Benedict’s test for glucose‚ the grease spot test for lipids‚ and the

To obtain the identification of this unknown bacterium‚ several biochemical tests needed to be performed in order to prescribe the correct medication to treat and cure the symptoms. Introduction In a lab today‚ I am to identify an unknown bacterium that is

organisms are biomolecules. Today in lab‚ a series of tests were ran. Tested were the biomolecules of cells which are lipids‚ sugars‚ proteins and starch. The purpose of these tests were to test for the presences of cellular biomolecules. Some of the things that fat consist of are one glycerol and three fatty acids. Proteins are considered polymers. They are made up of smaller molecules called subunits. Now with proteins they contain a large number of amino acids that are joined together by a peptide

Qualitative Chemical Analysis of Energy Drinks and Other Beverages - Lab Report Discussion and Analysis As a result of conducting various qualitative chemical analysis tests‚ Monster Energy ® was found to contain a large amount of reducing sugars and NaCl. It was found to be void of proteins and lipids. Further‚ Canada Dry ® gingerale was found to contain a large amount of reducing sugars‚ while being void of protein‚ lipids and NaCl. The components of the Monster Energy drink tested were

The lipid bilayer describes the membrane of both animal and plant cells where the properties that make up phospholipids are very important to the cell membrane function‚ it has protein which is dispersed properly and it mainly functions in the selective transport of molecules both in and out of the cell.

Introduction: During this unknown lab report various test were performed to differentiate microbes from each other and to compare metabolic and biochemical process. The gram stain distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria based on the composition of the cell wall. The Gram stain procedure distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative groups by coloring these cells red or violet. Gram positive bacteria stain violet due to the presence of a thick layer of peptidoglycan
