Matt Cramer Alex Chen 2/7/17 Food Dye lab Spectroscopy of Food Dye Lab Introduction You’re coming off the field after a hard fought game against your rival team. You are needing a drink and you grab a blue Powerade off the managers table. The drink delivers the electrolytes needed to sustain throughout the rest of the day. Then‚ the athlete starts to think how much of his blue Powerade is actually made from the blue food dye. The food dyes have had a tremendous affect on global economics

Macromolecules BCM261/BCM262 Anonymous Student #2 Aim The purpose of this lab was to use the scientific method to identify an unknown solution‚ based on the reactions (i.e. color changes) of known solutions with indicator solutions. These known solutions contained different types of macromolecules. Each type of micromolecule reacted with at least one indicator solution in a unique way‚ which allowed us to identify the macromolecule based upon the presence or

The Chromatography of Food Dyes and determination Of the Dyes Present in M&M Candies Procedure To complete this lab‚ I first mixed the solvent solution consisting of the proper ratio of water‚ salt‚ and isopropyl alcohol in a Pyrex measuring cup. I then prepared my chromatography papers for 2 trials by drawing‚ with a pencil‚ the appropriate lines and labels. Using a toothpick‚ I added the color to the paper‚ and then repeated until the color was strong. I repeated this step several more

Test for the Presence of Macromolecules Introduction In this experiment‚ we are trying to identify the presence of macromolecules in certain solutions. As in our daily lives‚ macromolecules are the essential nutrients that we have to take every day‚ therefore we would like to identify the types of macromolecules that contain in some of the food or solution in order to maintain a healthy life. There are four groups of macromolecules which are carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins and

In the sandwich you just ate‚ you have consumed three raw macromolecules. The bread would be considered the carbohydrate. The mayonnaise is the lipid. The turkey is of course considered the protein. Although the body takes in these three different forms one way‚ the way the body breaks it down is in three ways. First is the break-down of the carbohydrates(bread). The polysaccharide form of this is too big for the body to simply break down directly. So‚ instead the body uses multiple forms of procedures

Focused Question: How can one determine the presence of glucose‚ starch‚ lipid‚ and protein in various samples? Pre-lab Questions: • Glucose is a monosaccharide. What does this mean? A monosaccaride is a carbohydrate molecule with three to seven carbon atoms with the corresponding number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. • Proteins are made of amino acids. What atom is present in an amino acid that is not present in a sugar molecule? One nitrogen atom is present per molecule in an amino acid

Energy in food lab report Aim: How much energy there is in food. Hypothesis: If I work out how much the water temperature has risen by burning food underneath water‚ the mass of the water and the mass of food I can work out how much energy was in the food. Introduction: This experiment is about how much energy there is in food. There are a few different types of energy‚ the one we are looking at is chemical energy. Some other types of energy are: thermal energy which is heat‚ magnetic energy which

Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to identify the presence of macromolecules by using various positive and negative controls. The principle building blocks of living organisms are essentially constructed by carbon-containing molecules in cells. (Alberts‚ 2009) The macromolecules including lipids‚ carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids contribute to the most distinctive properties on living organisms. Macromolecules are known as polymers which are constructed by small organic subunits

The Four Main Macromolecules Interestingly enough‚ all cells that build up an entire organism‚ such as the human body‚ only consist of water‚ inorganic ions‚ and organic compounds as three dominant components. Together‚ water and inorganic ions such as Sodium‚ Magnesium‚ Calcium‚ Phosphate‚ etc. make up around 70% of the cell’s mass‚ while organic compounds make up the rest. Unlike its other two counterparts‚ organic compounds contain carbon-hydrogen reactions that allow them to create‚ sustain‚
