Iodine Test for Starch Introduction and Hypothesis: In this experiment‚ we used iodine to test for starch in certain solutions. Iodine separates starch from polysaccharides‚ monosaccharides‚ and disaccharides. Starch is a curled polymer of glucose and iodine interacts with molecules‚ which changes the color of the molecules to a kind of black color. Iodine does not respond with carbohydrates that are not curled or coiled‚ thus the color stays yellowish brown. A black color result means that starch

Enzymology‚ Catalytic Mechanism‚ Carbohydrate Metabolism‚ Adenosine Triphosphate Enzymes are proteins and their function is to act as catalysts to speed up certain chemical reactions in the cell that would be slower without them. This process occurs as steps in a cycle with separate reactions in each step. If there is a missing product the step in the cycle will be incomplete and the normal function of the organism cannot be accomplished causing negative effects on the organism. The biological

to the alveoli. A glucose molecule‚ is a monosaccharide‚ composing of a single monomer and starch is a polysaccharide‚ a complex carbohydrate that is composed of a long chain of several glucose molecules. Due to the structural content of these molecules a hypothesis can be made in regards to the following experiment. Hypothesis: Small molecules will only be able to diffuse through the cell membrane. AIM: To investigate selective permeability against starch and glucose molecules. APPARATUS:

the polysaccharide‚ starch‚ to the disaccharide maltose. Maltose is subsequently hydrolyzed to glucose by another digestive enzyme‚ maltase. These glucose molecules are the starting point of glycolysis. Glycolsis is the first process organisms employ to harvest energy‚ (ATP)‚ from ingested carbohydrates. In cellular respiration‚ glycolosis is the initial step in energy production as it converts glucose to two pyruvate molecules.

I predict this outcome as the rate of respiration depends upon three main factors: glucose‚ temperature and oxygen...as the oxygen

Carbohydrates are usually in the short term and fats are mainly used in the long term‚ protein is used as a stand by source of ATP. To get carbohydrates we can eat foods such as potatoes‚ rice‚ bread and fruit‚ and when they are digested they release glucose which is then stored in the body as glycogen‚ to supply energy to the phosphates‚ this is known as anaerobic glycolysis‚ and also used when exercise is at high intensity. The athlete does need to be weary of how long they use this system at the start

Lesson 02.08 DBA/Module Exam Lesson 02.01: Chemistry of Life · Explain why biological macromolecules are important for everyday life. Cells make large macromolecules by bonding smaller molecules together into chains called polymers (from the Greek polys‚ "many‚" and meris‚ "part"). Polymers are large molecules composed of many identical or similar subunits called monomers. There are four categories of biological macromolecules that provide energy and structure to living organisms and their cells

The use of positive and negative controls to determine the macromolecules present in an unknown solution Course # 6130‚ Wednesday‚ 7-10 PM‚ B2-151 Lab performed: September 21st‚ 2011 INTRODUCTION Every living thing is dependent on large complex molecules‚ known as macromolecules. The objective of this lab was to correctly identify which macromolecules the unknown solution was comprised of using various substances as experimental controls. There are four major types of biological macromolecules

used to a low level of activity‚ with only a small amount being used. The ATP in the muscle fibres is enough to allow muscle contractions for a few seconds. When muscle contraction continues more ATP is needed. Aerobic glycolysis Oxidation of glucose requires a different enzyme and a coenzyme for each step. Coenzyme A is used at this stage in cellular respiration‚ which is derived from from a B vitamin called pantothenic acid. During the transitional between glycolysis and the Krebs cycle‚ pyruvic
