T2:BIOCHEMISTRY AND ANALYSIS:DETECTION OF FATS‚PROTEINS AND CARBOHYDRATES OBJECTIVE The main purpose of the experiment is to understand some general tests that detect fats‚proteins and carbohydrates in foods. INTRODUCTION Carbohydrates are also known as sacharides. There are 4 main groups of carbohydrates‚which are monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. Carbohydrates play an important role in living organism as it is the energy storage‚ and it also plays

Protein is important! 1Protein is important because its an essential nutrient found in animal products‚ nuts‚ and beans. The name protein name comes from the Greek word protos‚ which means “first.” Your body uses proteins in your diet to build new cells‚ maintain tissues‚ and synthesize new proteins that make it possible for you to perform basic bodily functions. To visualize a molecule of protein‚ close your eyes and see a very long chain‚ rather like a chain of sausage links. The links in the

lacked protein‚ and three samples containing proteins‚ and using a spectrophotometer we assessed the amount of light absorbed versus the light transmitted‚ based on the principles of the Beer-Lambert Law. The three proteins used included lysozyme‚ protamine sulfate‚ and bovine serum albumin‚ and the three non-protein samples contained either RNA‚ tyrosine‚ and glycylglycylglycine. Standard curves were created to exhibit the linear relationship between the concentration of solute (protein‚ non-protein)

Cell Bio Bites Topic: Peroxisomes The Importance of Peroxisomal Proteins in the Human Body By: Jeffrey Palumbo 20523300 For BIOL 130 Tutorial Section 116 Shirley Chan The Importance of Peroxisomal Proteins in the Human Body Peroxisomes are small organelles found in almost all eukaryotic cells that contain a variety of enzymes and are responsible for an assortment of essential metabolic processes (Wanders‚ 2013). Generally‚ these processes include the β-oxidation of fatty acids

Title: Purification of Egg white protein Name: Michael Johnson Partner: David Logad & Nandita Date: 2nd 9th September 2004 Group: Thursday 11:30am - 3:30pm Introduction Salting Out In 1888 Hofmeister that it can be possible to dehydrate a protein by adding salt to the solution‚ salting out. When a protein in a aqueous solution it is surrounded by water‚ in fact there can be up to 0.35g of water tightly bound to 1g of protein (Simpson 2004). Also the effectiveness of the salting out

Daniel Bergey Lab 2: Proteins and Starches Purpose The purpose of lab 2 and both tests with proteins and starches is to determine which substance contains either protein or starch. Hypothesis Proteins: I predict that any substance I test that derives from a living organism is will test positive proteins. Any substance that isn’t from a living organism more than likely will test negative for proteins. Starches: I predict that any substance that contains any level of glucose will test positive

Catabolism of Proteins F. Photosynthesis Page 2 BIO 2924 Mr. Smith Unit III Enzymes An enzyme is an organic catalytic agent produced by a living cell. A catalyst is a substance that has the capacity to speed up chemical reactions without itself being altered after the reaction is complete. Characteristics of Enzymes 1. Most enzymes are proteins or proteins combined with other chemical groups‚ and other enzymes (ribozymes) are composed of RNA. Since enzymes are proteins or RNA molecules

Glycogen is a polymer/polysaccharide that serves as a form of energy storage in animals and fungi and is a primary carbohydrate storage form in animals. Glycogen in humans is made and stored primarily in the cells of the liver and the muscles which functions as the secondary long-term energy. Glycogen is often referred to as animal starch because it is the complement of starch in plants for they have a similar structure to amylopectin but more extensively branched and compact than starch. Glycogen

Investigating the effectivness of PVA and PVAc as base polymers In the production of a polymer ball. Introduction A monomer refers to a specific group of atoms that from a molecular unit. When monomers are strung together like a long chain they form polymers. A good analogy of polymers‚ would be long connections of chains which become tangled like a bunch of spaghetti in a pot. The reason for experimenting with‚ and understanding polymers is because they play such a major roll and are found
