    Lab Abstract 1

    The purpose of this experiment is to learn how to test for common macromolecules and identify macromolecules in substances. The four tests that were used were: Sudan IV test, Iodine test, Biuret test, and Benedict’s test. The Sudan IV test identifies lipids. If the test is positive it will have a deep pink layer. Out of the four tested substances, only vegetable oil tested positive. The Iodine test determines if starch is present. In this test, potassium iodine reacts with starch molecules turning a blue or purple color. The starch substance was the only one tested to be positive for any of the substances. Benedict’s test is used to identify sugars. For this test, you add Benedict’s solution to a heated substance. If sugars are present, the substance will produce an orange or red color. The substances that tested positive were glucose, fructose, lactose, and Sprite. They tested positive because all of them had enough sugar to be detected. The Biuret test is used to detect proteins. A substance that contains two or more adjacent peptide bonds will form a purple complex. The higher number of bonds means a more intense color. Both Sprite and Half & Half tested positive. Although it seems these items wouldn’t contain proteins, they have just enough to be able to be detected. It was proved that various food contain a variety of macromolecules. Even though these tests worked, they’re not objective for trace substances. In the future, more sensitive testing agents should be used.…

    Organic Compounds Lab Report

    The purpose of this lab is to simply determine the absence or presence of the main chemical content of a given substance. In previous labs, there were tests with three chemicals, Lugol's solution, Benedict's solution, and Biuret solution. The tests were qualitative and tested for the presence of sugars, starches, or proteins within a given substance. The substances were already known, so the tests were used to figure out what each solution showed presence of. After going through all of the tests, Lugol's solution showed the presence of starch, Benedict's solution showed presence of sugar, and Biuret solution showed presence of protein. In this lab, these solutions will be put to the test.…

    Carbohydrate Detection Test

    Carbohydrates (saccharides) are molecules consist of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. A major food source and a key form of energy for most organisms. When combined together to form polymers, carbohydrates can function as long term food storage molecules, as protective membranes for organisms and cells, and as the main structural support for plants and constituents of many cells and their contents. Carbohydrates are tests by using Molisch’s test and Benedict’s test.…

    Macromolecules: Color and Solution

    Seven sets of three 10ml test tubes were set up, with one set for each of the following sample solutions: water, protein, starch, lipid, vitamin C and an unknown sample. 0.5 L of each solution was added to each tube. One drop of each of the three indicator solutions (iodine, Sudan III and Biuret & copper sulfate) was added to each sample solution to determine how that sample solution (and that type of macromolecule) would react with each specific indicator. The results were recorded in the data chart below. The identity of the unknown solution was determined by comparing the reactions of the unknown solution with the reactions of the five known solutions as presented in the Discussion section below.…
