BIOLOGICALLY IMPORTANT MOLECULES Abstract Compounds containing the element carbon‚ called organic compounds‚ are the most important substances that make up living organisms. There are thousands and thousands of different organic compounds. To identify the major types of organic compounds in living organisms ‚ several biochemical test were used . Introduction Organic molecules are those primarily made up of carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen. The common organic compounds of living organisms are

Organic Compounds Problems and Objectives: The purpose of this lab was to select the suitable test for an organic molecule and define the safe process for that test. An organic molecule is normally found in or produced by living systems. (Unknown Author‚ 2014‚ www.biology-online.org/organic_molecule)In this lab one was supposed to infer the results of the test and be able to identify if major biomolecules are present. You were to analyze a variety of tests including analyzing a glucose solution for

In this experiment‚ we will learn about biological important molecules by performing tests to detect the presence of carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ lipids‚ and nucleic acids. Also‚ we will use biochemical tests to identify the unknown compound that react in the following biochemical tests: Benedict’s test‚ Iodine test‚ Sudan IV test‚ Biuret’s

Atoms‚ Molecules‚ and Elements CHM/110 William De Vorick June 30‚ 2014 Atoms‚ Molecules‚ and Elements Demetri Mendeleev was trying to organize the elements into a table by weight when he noticed that as the weights increase occasionally the properties of one element would resemble those of an element he already listed so he placed these elements in a column under the ones they resembled chemically ( Capri‚ PhD‚ 2003). Each chemical in the vertical rows on the periodic table are considered

THE CHEMISTRY OF ORGANIC MOLECULES I. MACROMOLECULES-large molecules that are composed of smaller molecules and atoms that are bonded together. These are among the largest of all chemical molecules. A. Polymers-the largest of the macromolecules. These are composed of numerous‚ small identical subunits known as Monomers. There are 4 major polymers that are important for living organisms. These polymers are; carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins and nucleic acids. B. Polymers

Biomolecules - Organic compounds is first due to the fact that every word on the list is an organic compound‚ as they are essential to life processes. Next‚ carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids are all macromolecules‚ as they are very large molecules composed of thousands of atoms or more. The map then divides into the four biomolecules. Carbohydrates are composed of monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ and polysaccharides. Proteins are made of amino acids‚ which are themselves made of polypeptides

Atoms‚ Molecules and Elements Atoms‚ molecules and elements are the building blocks of everything we can see‚ hear‚ and touch. Though not visible to the naked eye‚ it is the combination of millions of these tiny substances that make us who and what we are today. Many elements make up the world around us‚ and each element reacts differently to its surroundings. The definition of reactivity as pertained to chemistry states‚ “The relative capacity of an atom‚ molecule‚ or radical to undergo a chemical

getting warm and then they just disappeared. I heard some older water molecule calling it evaporation. I did not like the sound of it but I had to find my parents. My friend Zach agreed to help me. Today we were watching sharks attack a school of salmon when it happened‚ I felt weirdness. Everything started to warm up‚ like my parents had said. Zach felt it too. Looks like we were going to evaporate together. Other water molecule started to go up around us and then we were floating. Day 2 – Condensation-
