food you picked contained starch‚sugar‚lipids and protein.The food item that was chosen to decipher was a Big Mac and you chose what from the burger you wanted to test to see what it was made of‚ example like the bun of the burger. When testing you would have one test tube of water with food and the other test tube with the solution needed and food.The reason for the test tube with the water is because it was the indicator. If the product of food contained the macromolecule that was tested for it would

Macromolecules are molecules that are large and essential for life. They consist of carbohydrates‚ nucleic acids‚ proteins‚ and lipids. Carbohydrates are molecules that are composed of monosaccharaides. Carbohydrates include cellulose‚ starches‚ and sugars. Two tests may be used to determine the presence of the carbohydrates. Those tests are the Benedict’s test and Lugol’s Iodine Test. Proteins are another category of macromolecules. The protein is a type of macromolecule that carry out many processes

plants and animals too. Because we know about these macromolecules‚ we can better understand the world around us. They play a vital role in keeping us healthy and aiding in the diagnosis of medical conditions‚ they are responsible for what keeps us running and they are vital in even the tiniest forms of life; cells. Cells are the building blocks of everything around us and without cells and these essential components of life there would be no life. The benedicts reagent test was designed to expose

contain starch‚ glycogen‚ reducing sugars or proteins. The four major biological macromolecules are carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins and nucleic acids. Abundant elements in the world such as carbon and nitrogen bond in different ways to form many different molecules. The functional groups are what determine their characteristics. During the experiment‚ there will be 3 test. The iodine test is completed to test for starch and glycogen. When iodine is mixed with a solution that contains starch‚ the amylose

2007 AP Question 1 A) Three macromolecules that are very important components of the Cell Membrane of Eukaryotic organisms include molecules such as phospholipids‚ cholesterol and Glycoproteins all of which contribute to the continued functioning of the cell membrane. Phospholipids Structure: form the majority of the cell membrane‚ two layers of phospholipids combine to form the phospholipid bilayer‚ the phospholipids are made of two fatty acid tails attached to a phosphate head‚ the phosphate

Organic molecules are the molecules of life that include Carbon and Hydrogen. Organic molecules consist of four important classes which are lipids‚ carbohydrates‚ proteins and nucleic acids. The most important organic molecule is Carbon. Carbon can form with up to 4 different atoms to form chains‚ rings and branches. Organic molecules also contain monomers. Monomers are the “building blocks” of macromolecules. Macromolecules are made up by chains of monomers‚ these are called polymers. Continuing

With macromolecules‚ your body will be bigger‚ better‚ faster‚ stronger‚ and built to last longer! There are four major macromolecules that can give you more energy‚ strength‚ and enough fat to keep you warm and protected. In conclusion‚ the four major macromolecules are important to growth and development because they produce and store energy‚ create muscle to build a repair the body‚ create fat when it gets cold‚ and to tell when to release amino acid to build certain protein. Macromolecules are
