ENERGY RESERVES OF MACROMOLECULES SUMMARY This experiment was conducted in order to show the energy received from the food that humans eat on a daily basis. The energy that is required by the human body to perform chemical reactions is obtained from the chemical bonds that formed between the atoms in the molecules. To calculate the amount energy‚ types of food products were burned underneath a test-tube filled with water. The temperature rise gave an estimate of the energy released per gram.

In biology‚ there are four major biological macromolecules that are found in the cell‚ carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ nucleic acid‚ and proteins. Biological macromolecules are also known as organic molecules. Biological macromolecules are very large molecules that are of a key importance to living organisms. Most biological macromolecules are built by joining smaller molecule subunits. Carbohydrates are large groups of organic compounds found in foods such as sugars‚ starches‚ glucose‚ fructose‚ galactose

INT Task 3: Toilet Paper Absorbency Project Design Plan Problem Statement: Absorbency of toilet paper is found in many aspects when it comes to choosing the right toilet paper. When choosing toilet paper people base their decisions on many factors. Those factors include price‚ name brand‚ availability‚ quantity for the price‚ and even media deliverance (i.e. commercials) of toilet paper. Although these factors are of key importance‚ what about the absorbency of toilet paper? This experiment is conducted

Sean Byrne Teacher Biology Honors 13 August 2014 Unit 1 Chapter 3 1) a. Monomers are small‚ simple molecules that when put together create carbon compounds‚ and polymers are molecules that consist of repeated units. b. Functional groups are made of clusters of atoms‚ while macromolecules are large polymers. c. A monosaccharide is a simple sugar‚ but a disaccharide is known as a double sugar‚ or two monosaccharaides. d. Long chains of amino acids are called polypeptides‚ and proteins are composed

A. Proteins- A protein is a naturally produced macromolecules that are made of carbon‚ hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ nitrogen‚ and chains of amino acids. The amino acids are building blocks for all our cells. Proteins main function is to help in tissue repair and growth. There are three different types of proteins. Fibrous proteins help in forming muscle tissues‚ tendons‚ bones‚ and connective tissue and some examples of these are Actin‚ Coronin‚ Elastin‚ and Myosin. Globular proteins help in regulating

EXPERIMENT 1: REACTIONS OF ENOLATE IONS WITH CARBONYL GROUPS Aims In this experiment we used two techniques for the reactions of enolate ions with carbonyl groups. One technique used was Doebner reaction and the other technique used was Claisen-Schmidt reaction. Therefore the aim of this experiment is to synthesize trans p-methoxycinnamic acid and to synthesize dibenzalacetone via an aldol condensation reaction between acetone and benzaldehyde. The products would be recrystallized using ethanol
