There was a controlled and an experimental substance. The controlled substance was the one with starch in the dialysis bag‚ and the experimental substance was the one with starch and amylase in the dialysis bag. Both had the same solvent outside of the bag (Lugols and Distilled Water). The color change differed from inside and outside the bag as time went on‚ and at the end of the 45 minutes‚ the two bags had changed colors. The solute in the controlled substance had a darker color to it‚ with it

B. Statement of the problem. General Problem The problem is if cassava starch is an effective component for biodegradable plastic. Specific problems The easiest problem to solve will be the texture and bubbles. The mixture can’t be too thick when it’s being made and heated. If it’s too thick‚ air bubbles will get trapped in the mixture when it’s heated and won’t be able to get out. Try adding more water. It will take longer to dry‚ of course‚ but that will help to get rid of the bubbles

The enzymatic hydrolysis of starch is carried out under milder conditions: lower temperatures (up to 1000C)‚ normal pressure‚ pH of the medium around 6 – 8. At the same time enzymatic hydrolysis is characterized by high reaction rate‚ high stability of the enzyme towards the denaturizing action of solvents‚ detergents‚ proteolytic enzymes‚ and a decrease in the viscosity of the reaction medium at higher temperatures‚ etc. Most often‚ enzymatic hydrolysis is carried out with the enzyme α-amylase from

most part‚ life is cellular. Although there are several other requirements‚ that an organism needs to be considered alive. These requirements are macromolecules‚ it needs to have metabolism‚ and be able to reproduce. If something has all of these things then it can be considered alive. The first requirement is that it has to have cells. Beings also need macromolecules because they need energy. The four macromolecules are carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acid. Macromolecules are used for

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‚

composition of a tissue‚ specific macromolecules can be extracted‚ quantified‚ and analyzed. ABSTRACT Tissue types have a variety of compositions‚ and one way to describe these differences is by comparing macromolecule content. The four macromolecules – lipids‚ proteins‚ carbohydrates‚ and nucleic acids – can be quantified and analyzed.

Testing for reducing sugars‚ non-reducing sugars‚ starch‚ lipids and proteins in unknown substances: Our aim: was to find out which substances from our five samples have reducing sugars present to determine what they may be for example; they could be monosacchrides or disaccharides. This was carried out by using Benedict’s test. To find out which substances from our five samples were non-reducing sugars‚ since some disaccharides are reducing sugars and this would be carried out by using Benedict’s
