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

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

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

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

Laboratory Report SCPB111 Principles of Biology Faculty of Applied Sciences Pearson Institute of Higher Education 14 March 2018 Abstract Biological molecules are part of Introduction Biological molecules are formerly known as macromolecules. Macromolecules are large molecules that are formed from smaller molecules called monomers (Ellisman‚ 2014). They are formed by dehydration reactions‚ in which a water molecule is removed during the formation of bonds (Wayne Huang‚ 2015). Biological molecules

The universe is comprised of one hundred eighteen elements that either occur naturally or as laboratory productions. Of these‚ six of them are crucial to the vitality and sustainment of life. These include carbon‚ hydrogen‚ nitrogen‚ oxygen‚ phosphorus‚ and sulfur. For a molecule to be considered organic‚ it must contain rings or chains of carbon (Volesky). A molecule is a chemical species encompassing several or many nonmetal atoms. The atoms bond covalently. In other words‚ the electrons in the

universe‚ people have spent centuries searching for the explanations to how life existed on this planet. Indeed‚ the atomic structures that form the basis of matter still must exist in order to develop life‚ but what significant atomic structures are there to make this happen? Respectively‚ a much broader scale can be utilized to assemble the main components for life‚ which they are called macromolecules. Macromolecules are very large molecular structures that contain carbon and are the vital organs
