Identification of Macromolecules Introduction The most common macromolecules found in living organisms are lipids‚ carbohydrates‚ proteins and nucleic acids. Briefly‚ the meaning of macromolecules is that they normally contain two or more molecules in them and their main functions are to store energy‚ information and much more. Most foods are known to be combinations of macromolecules. While some of these compounds can be detected by taste tests‚ many cannot. Scientists then use certain

MIC 230 Unknown Identification Report The objective of this experiment was to identify an organism from a mixture of two unknown bacterial species. In order to accomplish this‚ I first plated my unknown mixture on Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA)‚ Columbia Naladixic Acid (CNA)‚ and MacConkey’s Agar (MAC) plates. After 48 hours of incubation‚ it was unclear that two different bacterial colonies had grown on my TSA plate. Only one type of colony was evident. However‚ it was apparent that I had successfully

Karyotype Analysis and Species Identification Introduction A karyotype refers to a basic layout of the numbers‚ types‚ and structures of the chromosomes in a eukaryotic cell. This includes the diploid and haploid numbers as well as the morphology of the chromosomes. When assembling a karyotype‚ two chromosomes specify gender‚ XX for females and XY for males‚ while the remaining chromosomes are arranged from largest to smallest in pairs. Each pair is arranged based upon chromosome morphology

next to it put a small drop of water‚ and let sit for few minutes to dry. Once dry‚ the fats will leave a grease spot behind. This can best be seen when you hold the paper up to a light source. The last macromolecule we explore in this lab is protein. In this lab we will test for the presence of protein using the CuSO4 test. A positive

Luis Solano BIOL 451 Dr. Vance McCracken April 27‚ 2012 Neisseria gonorrhea Neisseria gonorrhea‚ or Gonorrhea‚ is a sexually transmitted disease that is considered the second most dominant in the world. This disease has very interesting components that includes a location of where it likes to “live” in the human host‚ distinct symptoms‚ virulence factors that help defend against the host immune system‚ and how it can survive from host to host. All of these factors go into what is necessary to

Identification of A Mixed Culture Unknown An experiment such as this one serves the purpose of allowing us‚ the students‚ to apply what we already know about any organism and any laboratory procedure to the difficult task at hand. It is possible to identify a mixed culture by running familiar experiments on the unknown bacteria and taking information already known about specific bacteria and applying it to the results. This helps to slowly eliminate any bacteria that do not correspond with the
