Title : Investigation of Action of Saliva and 3M Hydrochloric Acid in Two Carbohydrate Solutions Objective : To investigate the action of saliva and 3M hydrochloric acid in two carbohydrate solutions Results : Table 1: Observations Conclusions Solution A Benedict’s test : Initial blue solution changed to brick-red precipitate. Little amount of brick-red precipitate suspended in solution. The solution was translucent. Iodine test : Yellowish-brown remained the same. Abundant amount of

Cellular metabolism encompasses the many processes that work together to keep the cells in dynamic equilibrium. Cellular metabolism is responsible for providing energy to the cell and is an essential element of life. There are several complex‚ involved processes involved in cellular metabolism including glycolysis‚ Krebs’s cycle‚ and electron transport. Metabolism itself can be broken down into two different categories: catabolic and anabolic. Catabolic metabolism involves the breakdown of large

The Effect of Health problems caused by Sugar Sophie Tacheci The Effect of Health problems caused by the amount of Sugar on the Drosophila Sugar intake has increased drastically since the 1820’s‚ causing over 78 ailments such as raised insulin levels‚ rising rates of obesity‚ heart disease and diabetes. Sugar intake per person during the 1820’s was about five pounds per year. Today the average sugar intake is about one hundred pounds per year‚ or about 119 grams

Transpiration: Transpiration is the loss of water vapour from the exposed parts of a plant; by evaporation from the leaves‚ stems and branches and by the escape of water vapour through the stomata. Respiration: Respiration is the breakdown of glucose molecules to synthesize(produce) energy.there are two types of respiration: aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. Consider the food chain below: Algae →larvae →crabs →fish (a)Name The producer; algae One carnivore; fish One

LABORATORY 3: LABORATORY 3: Basic Chemistry for Investigating Living Systems Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to explain how colorimetry can be used to qualitatively detect cellular chemical components; to chemically differentiate between proteins‚ sugars‚ starches‚ and lipids; to identify the roles of molecular components in living systems; to comprehend the value of using a systematic approach to research; and to describe why hypotheses‚ controls‚ standards‚ and quality control

usage of potato tuber cells. In experiment 5.1 in order to observe diffusion we examine the Brownian movement by observing carmine on a wet mount slide‚ and by using dialysis tubing‚ we investigate the selective permeability to reducing sugar‚ glucose‚ starch‚ and iodine potassium iodine. In experiment 5.2 we use samples of ox blood and Elodea plant to observe the net flow of water from the surrounding solution into the cells. In experiment 5.3 in order to estimate the osmolarity of the potato

two main objectives in the human body to either help digest foods or to help provide energy. Fiber is a type of carbohydrate is necessary to have a regular digestive system. Majority types of carbohydrates such as sugars and starches can break down glucose to be used as energy. The movie‚ King Corn‚ is about two best friends and an acre of corn in Iowa. A small ear of corn contains 23 grams of carbohydrates. Corn can be transformed and be used in several different ways. In King Corn‚ they tell us

by temperatures above 60°C. The enzyme used in this lab exercise is amylase‚ which is commonly found in saliva and germinating seeds. It catalyzes the breakdown of starch. When amylase reacts with starch‚ it cuts off the disaccharide maltose (two glucose molecules linked together). As the reaction progresses‚ less starch will be present and more sugar (maltose) will be present. In lab‚ the activity of amylase was observed by using iodine. Remember‚ iodine reacts with starch to form a dark brown/purple

as launching a new variant with nutritional properties that would allow it to be advertised on kids’ TV. Sugar levels in existing Kellogg’s Coco Pops cereals will be cut by 15% by the middle of next year and replaced with starch from grains and glucose syrup. No artificial sweetners will be added and the calorie count will remain the same – around 116 per portion. Kellogg says the move will cut sugar consumption in the UK by 750 tonnes‚ with 29 million boxes sold annually. Products affected are
