Feeding Frenzy food lab

Introduction (5 points)

Purpose (1 point)
The purpose of this experiment is to determine what macromolecules are in the four different foods

Question (1 point)
What macromolecules are in buttermilk biscuits, potato chips, hot peppers, and sardines?

Background (1 point)
Macromolecules are molecules with a large number of atoms. There are four types of macromolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. In this lab we will test four foods to see if they contain carbohydrates
(sugar and/or starches), proteins and lipids. We will use chemical reagents to test to determine the presence of macromolecules: Benidicts solution for sugar, Iodine for starch, Biurets reagent for protein, and Sudan III for lipids.

Hypothesis (1 point)
If we test buttermilk biscuits for starches, sugars, proteins and lipids then it will test positive for all. If we test potato chips for starches, sugars, proteins and lipids it will then test positive for lipids and starch. If we test peppers for starches, sugars, proteins and lipids then it will test positive for only sugar. If we test sardins for starches, sugars, proteins and lipids then it will only test positive for proteins and lipids.

    Introduction: Lipids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and proteins are essential parts of daily life. First, lipids are organic compounds made up of glycerol that serve as long-term energy storages. These lipids are insoluble in water and are extremely effective storages because they are not easily metabolized. Additionally, carbohydrates are a type of biomolecule made up of monosaccharaides (simple sugars). These sugars are used to produce energy in reactions as well as serve as structural materials. Proteins also serve as structural materials, and are made up of amino acids, which are important for every day functions. Additionally, proteins serve the purpose of transporting, catalyzing reactions, and signaling cells. Lastly, nucleic acids are important for the genetic inheritance of an individual. Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides, and when these nucleotides come together in mass amounts they form either DNA or RNA. With that information in mind, the purpose of this lab is to design and conduct an experiment that can determine the biomolecules found in a gelatin solution. If Sudan III and Biuret’s reagent react with the gelatin solution, then it is an indicator of the presence of lipids and proteins.…

    By completing lab exercise 6 : Biologically Important Molecules, we are able to perform tests such as the Benedicts Test for Reducing Sugars, Iodine Test, Biuret Test, Sudan IV Test, and lastly the Grease-Spot Test that detect the presence of biologically important carbohydrates, protein lipids and nucleic acids. Most known compounds in living organism are if fact carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Each of these macromolecules are tested differently. The Benedicts test identifies reducing sugars based on their ability to reduce cupric ions to cuprous oxide at basic pH resulting in a green to reddish orange color. The basis for the iodine test for starch is since starch is a coiled polymer of glucose, the iodine interacts with…
