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

“Do the new supplements contain fillers such as sugar and starch or are they pure protein?” This is important because the consumers might be falsely informed on what they are actually putting into their body. We are trying to answer this because it will provide the consumers with accurate results of what contents are within these supplements. In our study we had four testing reagents (Lugol’s which tests for starch‚ Biuret tests for protien‚ Benedict’s that tests for reducing sugars

Abstract: We tested five common food items to determine which macromolecules were present. We tested for the macromolecules of simple and complex carbohydrates (sugars and starch)‚ lipids‚ and proteins. The foods tested were coconut milk‚ karo syrup‚ potato chips‚ peanut butter‚ and banana baby food. We hypothesized that coconut milk would contain all four types of macromolecules‚ karo syrup would only contain simple sugars which are monosaccharides and/or disaccharides‚ potato chips would contain

Title: Testing For Macromolecules Objective: Introduction Proteins are complex molecules which consists of carbon‚ oxygen‚ hydrogen and nitrogen. All proteins are made up of one or more polymers‚ known as polypeptides. Its monomers are amino acids. Protein can be divided into primary structure‚ secondary structure‚ tertiary structure and quaternary structure. It is important for all living things in the world as they form enzymes‚ antibodies and hormones. Materials and Procedures:

Identification of Macromolecules Introduction The purpose of this lab is to test for the presence of macromolecules in various foods. Tests are performed to describe the basic structure of proteins‚ lipids‚ glycerides‚ and carbohydrates. We are to recognize the positives and negatives in these macromolecules. Also we are to identify the roles that proteins‚ lipids‚ minerals‚ vitamins‚ and carbohydrates play in the body’s construction and metabolism. Procedure / Results 5.1 Carbohydrate

MACROMOLECULS LAB: What are the mystery powders? Period: 4 Asia Enoch Introduction: A carbohydrate is an immediate form of energy in your body. Monomers is smaller than a polymer. For carbohydrate the monomer is sugar and the polymer is a polysaccharides. Carbohydrates are important to our body because we need to use energy. The purpose of this lab is to figure which one is the monomer and which one is the polymer. Hypothesis: If I place two drops of iodine into the mystery powder‚ it

help to stabilize the overall structure. For example‚ insulin (a globular protein) has a combination of hydrogen bonds and disulfide bonds that cause it to be mostly clumped into a ball shape. Nucleic acids are the most important macromolecules for the continuity of life. They carry the genetic blueprint of a cell and carry instructions for the functioning of the cell. Dna And

Test for Starch Introduction and Hypothesis: In this experiment‚ we used iodine to test for starch in certain solutions. Iodine separates starch from polysaccharides‚ monosaccharides‚ and disaccharides. Starch is a curled polymer of glucose and iodine interacts with molecules‚ which changes the color of the molecules to a kind of black color. Iodine does not respond with carbohydrates that are not curled or coiled‚ thus the color stays yellowish brown. A black color result means that starch is current
