Identifying Organic Compounds Problem: Based on the color of the indicator‚ which type of organic compound will be found in each type of food? Hypothesis: If Benedict solution is added to honey‚ then it will turn. If Biuret solution is added to egg whites‚ then it will turn. If Benedict solution is added to corn oil‚ then it will turn. If Benedict solution is added to glucose‚ then it will turn. If Benedict solution is added to gelatin‚ then it will turn. If Benedict solution is added to butter

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

TESTING FOR MACROMOLECULES Describe the positive test for starch. Explain how you know. The positive test for starch is adding iodine solution. In the experiment‚ the starch solution had the most dramatic reaction with the iodine solution. It turned to an opaque bluish-purple solution while other samples all turned to a colour related to orange and yellow other than the vegetable oil. But the vegetable oil was more translucent than completely opaque. Describe the positive test for

PURPOSEThe purpose of the lab is to learn how to determine the presence of glucose‚ starch‚ lipid‚ and protein in various samples through standard tests. MODIFICATION1. Protein solution‚ vegetable oil‚ glucose solution‚ sucrose solution‚ starch solution and distilled water were added separately into six marked test tubes. The volume added was about one finger thick in depth of a test tube. 2. 5 drops of Iodine solution was added to each test tube. 3. The sample’s reaction with iodine was recorded

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)

Lab Report: Identifying Physical and Chemical Changes Nelson Science Perspectives 10 section 5.2 Amazing Student September 17‚ 2012 Mrs. Volkmann SNC 2D Purpose: To collect evidence and then use it to identify physical and chemical changes. Hypothesis: I predict the following: Change 1 will be a chemical change Change 2 will be a chemical change Change 3 will be a physical change Change 4 will be a chemical change Change 5 will be a chemical change Change 6 will be a physical

A macromolecule can best be described as an immense molecule‚ made up of thousands of covalently bonded carbon atoms. There are four classifications of macromolecules: carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids. Each classification performs specific functions that allow cells to grow and survive. Macromolecules can be either split or bonded through dehydration synthesis or hydrolysis. Dehydration synthesis occurs when water is released‚ electrons become shared‚ covalently bonding two

Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to determine the food dyes present in a selected beverage‚ their concentration‚ and then replicate the solution within a 20% margin of error. The beverage we chose was Gatorade Frost Riptide Rush. A spectrometer was used to determine which food dyes were present in the sampled beverage‚ red 40 and blue 1 were determined to be present. The next step was to determine the concentration of the dyes‚ this was done by testing the absorbance of the red 40 and blue 1

IDENTIFICATION OF SOME MACROMOLECULES | | INTRODUCTION Dehydration-synthesis is a reaction that occurs to form different types of macromolecules. It is a reaction that leaves a macromolecule structure along the lines of developing its own specific function in a living organism. The 4 most common ones are carbohydrates which includes monosaccharides and polysaccharides‚ lipids‚ proteins and nucleic acids (Mack 2012). Scientists identify different types of macromolecules to achieve a better
