A Macromolecule is a molecule with a very large number of atoms .The word macromolecule is usually used for describing polymers. Molecules that are made up of smaller molecules are called monomers‚ there are also Organic Molecules composed of carbon atoms .The functions of the Four big Macromolecules: First‚ Carbohydrates‚ carbohydrates is the function of being used for energy production during cellular respiration. Second ‚ Lipids‚ lipids are used for four things; insulation and long-term energy

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‚ and Ninhydrin which detects amino acids) and four stock solutions at various concentrations (protein in the form of albumin‚ glucose for

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

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

Identification of Macromolecules Introduction The most common macromolecules found in living organisms are lipids‚ carbohydrates‚ proteins and nucleic acids. Briefly‚ the meaning of macromolecules is that they normally contain two or more molecules in them and their main functions are to store energy‚ information and much more. Most foods are known to be combinations of macromolecules. While some of these compounds can be detected by taste tests‚ many cannot. Scientists then use certain

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

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
