Macromolecules in Food INTRODUCTION The most common macromolecules found in living organisms are lipids‚ carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids. (Hillis et al 2011). Macromolecules are normally containing two or more monomers in them and their main functions are to store energy. Starch is a huge molecule made up of hundreds of simple sugar molecules (such as glucose) connected to each other. Most foods are known to be combinations of macromolecules. METHODS The tests performed were iodine

In this experiment we used gel electrophoresis to separate goat‚ sheep‚ cow‚ horse‚ chicken serum along with cow transferrin and cow gamma globulins. In this lab we successfully prepared the gel electrophoresis bed and successfully separated the proteins. The western blot along with the nitrocellulose blot was successful but produced no visible results. Introduction: Amino acids are basic units and building blocks of proteins. They consist of an amine group‚ a carboxylic group and side chain.

for energy‚ breaking down fatty acids and playing a part in biological recognition processes. Glucose is one of the most commonly known carbohydrates and comes under the category of a monosaccharide. Monosaccharaides are the basic molecular units (monomers) of which carbohydrates are composed. Glucose is vital as it provides energy for cells which provide all the necessary processes and reactions that your body needs to happen to survive. However‚ it’s not that simple. Glucose as a molecule is too

least 100 words: 1. Describe the structure of DNA. DNA is a polymer‚ which is a chemical compound or a mixture of compounds consisting of repeating structural units. These repeating structures are created through polymerization. The monomer‚ meaning one part‚ units of DNA are nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a five carbon sugar‚ also known as deoxyribose‚ and nitrogen containing base attached to the sugar‚ and do phosphate group. There is for different types of nucleotides. There

What does that mean exactly? Well there are basically 4 types of macromolecules that make up life. From carbohydrates to nucleic acids‚ and so you going to take food like this delicious pizza‚ you’re going to break the polymers down into tiny little monomers and then you’re going to weave that back into you. So when you look at me now‚ what you’re really seeing is protein that was in food I ate weeks or even months ago. 3. The whole thing begins with our Pavlovian response. Some of you might be familiar
