Identifying Organic Compounds Joe Harris 11/12/07 1. Background Organic compounds are‚ by definition‚ any chemical compound containing carbon. These compounds include carbohydrates‚ polysaccharides‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids. Each one of these compounds has a different purpose. Carbohydrates give energy to cells when consumed. Lipids are basically the

carbonyl compounds is useful in reactions because nitriles are versatile functional groups1. Not only are they versatile functional groups but they serve as precursors in several transformations. The cyano-group is found in many bioactive molecules and plays a role in hydrogen bonding to certain biological receptors.4 Nitriles are carboxylic acid derivatives because they can easily be converted to carboxylic acid under either basic or acidic conditions. Piperonal is an aromatic compound that is present

The Physical Properties of Eleven Chemical Compounds Problem: Discover whether various chemical compounds are molecular or ionic and if they are acidic or basic. Hypothesis: If the compound is ionic‚ then it will be soluble because the energy given off water molecules compensates for the energy needed to break ionic bonds‚ also‚ if the compound is Ionic‚ it will be an electrolyte‚ because they mostly break up into ions when in water. If the compound is molecular‚ then it will be soluble‚ it cannot

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

Coordination Compounds are compounds that contain at least one complex ion. Complex ion is an ionic species consisting of a metal ion bounded one or more Lewis bases. Coordination complex is the product of a Lewis acid-base reaction in which neutral molecules bond to a central metal atom by coordinate covalent bonds. A coordinate covalent bond is a covalent bond in which one atom supplies both electrons. Ligands are atoms or molecules with electron pairs available‚ and they may be neutral or negatively

BIOL 130 Lab Report Identifying Two Macromolecules - Carbohydrates and Proteins 9/26/2013 [Type the company name] INTRODUCTION As the name suggests‚ macromolecules are large molecules that make up more than 90% of the total cell mass. These biological macromolecules vary greatly in size - from several hundred to several hundred million molecular weight units - and are made up of monomer units. There are four major classes of biological macromolecules: proteins‚ carbohydrates‚ lipids

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

Biological Molecules Lab Report EXERCISES 1 & 2 QUALITATIVE TESTING FOR BIOLOGICAL MOLECULES 1) Complete the table for your group ’s samples. 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
