The Different Roles of Macromolecules in Biology.There are four types of macromolecules that I am going to describe: Proteins‚ carbohydrates‚ lipids and nucleic acid. I will also describe the functions and why they are important in our bodies. Proteins Proteins are polymers of amino acids that are joined head-to-tail in a long chain that is then folded into a three-dimensional structure unique to each type of protein. The covalent linkage between two adjacent amino acids in a protein (or polypeptide)

Microbiology Laboratory Report Identification of Unknown Bacteria 03/10/05- 04/01/05 Authors: Richard Hendricks‚ Jessica Prebish; NMU Abstract: Broth culture 16 was randomly selected by our group and subjected to qualitative tests for taxonomic identification. The culture did appear homogenous throughout the testing period and is currently retained by Northern Michigan University’s department of Microbiology. We suggest that culture 16 is an example of Escherichia coli. Background: Techniques

The identification of acids and bases using a natural indicator Purpose: The purpose of this lab practice is to identify the pH of certain solutions and if they are acids or bases. Introduction: In chemistry‚ pH is a measure of the activity of the (solvated) hydrogen ion. p[H]‚ which measures the hydrogen ion concentration‚ is closely related to‚ and is often written as‚ pH. Depending on the pH solutions will be acids or bases. An acid is a chemical compound that dissociates in solution‚ releasing

CHM1032L pre/post lab instructions Preparation is a key to success in this lab. For this reason‚ you are required to thoroughly read through the experiment information presented in the lab manual‚ and complete a pre-lab for each experiment you do. The prelab must be completed prior to the day of the experiment. Each Friday I will ask to see your completed prelab before I allow you to enter the lab. If you have not finished the pre-lab‚ I will not allow you to enter the lab and you will receive

Lab report is one way we used during of after an experiment in a laboratory to subtly record and discuss the experiment. During a lab‚ we sometimes can observe only the physical part of the experiment‚ or may be some visible chemical changes. These changes indicate that the experiment we do is successful or not. However‚ in order to understand and achieve more from just simply doing the experiment‚ we write lab report to more profoundly understand the internal meanings of the experiment we do‚ and

Lab Report 1: Natural Selection Introduction: In today’s lab we learned how natural selection and survival of the fitness took place in Darwin theory by testing it out with four different utensils which were Spoon‚ Fork‚ chopstick‚ and clothespin which represent the four different types of bird beaks. Our goal was to see which one utensil ( bird beak) would outcome the other four utensil ( bird beak) by being able to survive with the limit amount of food‚ the environmental chances‚ and see who

Chem 105 Guide to the Formal Laboratory Report The purpose of a formal report is to communicate effectively to another person the goal‚ procedure‚ data analysis method‚ and results of your laboratory work. The report is divided into several well-defined sections. Each section must be present in a complete report. To earn an outcome point for the laboratory report‚ a student must submit a formal lab report that earns a score of at least 90/100. Each error (factual‚ grammatical‚ typographical

Lab Report An enzyme is a protein that speeds up the rates of chemical reactions. They recognize‚ bind‚ and change specific reactants. They do not change so they can catalyze the same reaction again and again. Activation energy is the amount of energy needed in order to begin a chemical reaction. A Catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change. Catalysts are substances or a substance that configures another substance
