PROTEINS AND NUCLEIC ACIDS 28/11/13 Qn. Which two of the four macromolecules do you believe to be the most important for life? Give evidence to support your suggestion (include a full description of the macromolecules you describe both in terms of structure and function) Introduction All the four macromolecules=lipids‚ proteins‚ carbohydrates and nucleic acids= are essential for the functioning of an organism ’s body (Campbell‚ biology). They work hand in hand to help us survive. For example

Macromolecule is a very large molecule which can get collected in the kidneys. Generally‚ the molecular weight of the macromolecular vehicle is bigger than that of the prodrugs and so this kind of system can achieve the objective. Pro-drugs have the capability to select the goal in the kidney because it can release the active drug by the action of renal enzymes

constant volume of H2O to have a standardized measurement to compare our data back to. In every mixture there was 5 ml of (stock solution/the three unknowns/our constant) separately mixed with 1 ml of each testing reagents. After running the experiments we can conclude that each of the three supplements do in fact contain some amounts of protein. Supplement number one tested positive for starch‚ protein‚ and sugars. This specific supplement contains the highest level of fillers as

In this lab activity students performed an experiment with the use of distilled water and baking soda solutions as control. The experimental controls are accuracy indicators of laboratory results. Thus‚ controls are important in a lab because the observation results are dependent on the controls. The experimental results can be determined to be valid when it is compared with the control solution. The higher the similarity between the results and the control solution‚ the more accurate the investigation

Jessica Robins Lab 3: Properties of Organic Compounds Introduction Distillation is a physical process used to separate chemicals from a mixture by how easy they vaporize. The temperature rises unit it reaches the temperature of the lowest boiling substance in the mixture while the other contents of the mixture remain in their original phase (until the most volatile substance has all boiled off) as it’s heated. Hot vapor results and passes into a condenser and is then converted to a liquid

EXPERIMENT 3: IDENTIFICATION OF FOOD CONSTITUENTS IN MILK. INTRODUCTION: In this experiment two milk samples are given and its compositions are tested using different methods such as using benedict solution to test the presence of reducing sugar‚ using copper II sulphate to test the presence of protein‚ using K3( to test the presence of fat. However in this experiment‚ not only are the milk tested for its composition‚ the amount of the particular substance such as reducing sugar‚ protein and

Subject: Experiment 3: “Identifying a Constituent of Panacetin” Partner: Julie Covington Introduction This experiment was a continuation of Experiment two‚ with a slightly different question to be answered. In this experiment‚ we are trying to find the identitiy of the unknown component of Panacetin. This is answering question 2 of the two questions that were to be answered in experiment 2. The equation of this reaction is as follows (and is the same as that found in experiment 2):

Introduction The objective of this experiment is to identify if the 12 provided solutions contain starch‚ glycogen‚ reducing sugars or proteins. The four major biological macromolecules are carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins and nucleic acids. Abundant elements in the world such as carbon and nitrogen bond in different ways to form many different molecules. The functional groups are what determine their characteristics. During the experiment‚ there will be 3 test. The iodine test is completed to
