Abstract The aim of the experiment is to test the existence of macromolecules which are carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ nucleic acids and proteins in given samples. The first experiment is to test the existence of carbohydrates in starch suspension and potato cell. If carbohydrate is present in starch suspension‚ the solution will turn into dark blue when iodine solution is added. If carbohydrate is present in potato cell‚ starch granules can be seen clearly under microscope when iodine solution is added

test for starch macromolecules occurs when the solution turns dark brown when Iodine solution is added. 2. If there is glucose in the substance‚ the substance turns to an orange-yellow colour when Benedict’s Solution is added to it. The colour of the glucose solution when it is mixed with Benedict’s solution with heat is orange-yellow‚ while all of the sample solutions turn into a light blue or purple colour. We can therefore deduce that a positive test for glucose macromolecules is when the colour

water and part chemicals. The chemicals that help make up life are constructed mainly of carbon. A compound that has carbon in its composition is called an organic compound. Organic compounds also usually contain hydrogen atoms. Even though life is very complex‚ all large molecules that make up life are categorized into four large classes: lipids‚ protein‚ carbohydrates‚ and nucleic acids. These four molecules are known as macromolecules‚ due to their large size. Atoms have diverse characters that

Thus‚ the following objectives were emphasized in this experiment: to determine the equilibrant force using the force table and the component method‚ to determine the unknown forces using the first condition and second conditions for equilibrium‚ to locate the centre of gravity of a composite body‚ and to demonstrate

PSYC 101 – Experiment Assignment (40 pts) Students will carefully observe acts of aggression and prosocial behavior on television‚ report their observations‚ and analyze their data to draw conclusions. Watch 20 minutes of each of the three types of programs (do not code behavior in commercials). Record every aggressive act and prosocial act. Some categories will have several acts. Your chart and discussion will focus on comparing the following three types of programs you will watch: 1) children’s

most part‚ life is cellular. Although there are several other requirements‚ that an organism needs to be considered alive. These requirements are macromolecules‚ it needs to have metabolism‚ and be able to reproduce. If something has all of these things then it can be considered alive. The first requirement is that it has to have cells. Beings also need macromolecules because they need energy. The four macromolecules are carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acid. Macromolecules are used for

composition of a tissue‚ specific macromolecules can be extracted‚ quantified‚ and analyzed. ABSTRACT Tissue types have a variety of compositions‚ and one way to describe these differences is by comparing macromolecule content. The four macromolecules – lipids‚ proteins‚ carbohydrates‚ and nucleic acids – can be quantified and analyzed.

Biological Macromolecules Lab Cells‚ the fundamental units of life‚ are composed of various combinations of organic macromolecules: carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids. This lab exercise is designed to show you the qualitative tests commonly used to detect their presence. Objectives Test for the presence of monosaccharides by using the Benedict’s test Test for the presence of starch‚ a polysaccharide‚ by using the Lugol’s iodine test Test for the presence of lipids by using the

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.
