Pre-lab 1: Identifying Carbohydrates Abstract The point of this lab is to determine if a substance contains carbohydrates such as a reducing sugar and/or polysaccharides. This will be done by using Benedict’s reagent and Iodine stain tests. Benedict’s reagent will react to reducing substances in the solution by oxidizing it and changing the structure of the reducing sugar to form a colored precipitate. The color of this precipitate can be used to determine the concentration of reducing sugars in

BIOLOGY LAB REPORT PRACTICAL M1 TESTING FOR MACROMOLECULES Title : Testing for Macromolecules Abstract : To test for macromolecules (carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ nucleic acids‚ and proteins)‚ iodine solution‚ alcohol‚ aceto-orcein stain and copper sulfate solution are used. The conclusions for all of the tests are positive. Introduction: A) Carbohydrate (starch) Carbohydrates are chemical compounds that contain oxygen‚ hydrogen‚ and carbon atoms. They consist of monosaccharide

Macromolecule Report Monomer units of biological macromolecules have heads and tails. When they polymerize in a head-to-tail fashion‚ the resulting polymers also have heads and tails. These macromolecules are polar because they are formed by head to tail condensation of polar monomers. Making Glucose: Green plants manufacture glucose through a process that requires light‚ known as photosynthesis. This process takes place in the leaf chloroplasts. Carbon dioxide and water molecules enter a sequence

Lab Report 2 Biological Media Meva Tinsley Georgia State University Lab Report 2 Introduction: Biological Media Microorganisms require nutrients and certain environmental conditions in order to thrive. In the lab‚ we use a Biological Media to aid in growth reproduction. Also referred to as a culture medium‚ a Biological Media is a substance used to support the growth of microorganisms. The two types of media most commonly used in Microbiology are selective media and differential

Be sure to clearly indicate in the blue line whether or not your sample was positive (+) or negative (-) for the given test. Then below that in the white area‚ type your observations‚ mainly focusing on the color‚ but also the layering as appropriate. Be sure your interpretations match your observations! The chart area will expand as you type. BENEDICT ’S

There are four biological marcomolecules essential to the function of a cell: lipids‚ proteins‚ carbohydrates and nucleic acids. Proteins are made up of amino acids that have a carbon in the center of the structure with four chemical groups attached to the sides. Traditionally protein is understood to assist in the development of muscle in athletic people‚ but it actually functions as structural support‚ cell adhesion‚ transport for molecules‚ and cellular communication. Through dehydration synthesis

Yvan Mamboukuate 10/09/2013 BIO 101 Lab Report Biological Molecules Introduction: In this experiment‚ simple chemical tests will be performed to identify the presence of various types of biological molecules. These tests take advantage of the fact that different types of molecules have different functional groups and‚ therefor‚ different chemical properties. Thus‚ they will react to test reagents (also called indicators) differently. Materials: Biuret‚ Sudan III‚ Iodine‚ Benedict‚ water
