Title Biochemical Analysis of Blood Abstract Introduction After blood is collected from a patient it is analysed to check the fragments present and the fluid which will either be plasma or serum. After plasma is separated from blood it recollects the fibrinogen which in turn helps in clotting however serum is the portion of blood which remains after the fibrinogen is removed. Serum contains approximately 6-8% of the proteins which make up blood however plasma creates up to 55% of blood

Lipids And Nucleic Acids Professor Anthony Depass Biology 1 9/25/14 Introduction: 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

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

Q 1. In this practical exercise you will be using biuret reagent. Why is biuret reagent used in this practical? The biuret reagent is used to assess the concentration of the protein because peptide bonds occur with the same frequency per amino acid in the peptide. The intensity of the colour‚ and therefore the absorption‚ is directly proportional to the protein concentration. Q 2. What is the experimental reason for constructing a standard curve? Multiple samples with known properties

Bio 6 (Mon. Lab) 5/6/13 The Effects of Pepsin VS. Trypsin in The Digestion of Protein Introduction As food is mechanically and chemically digested through our oral cavity then passes through our pharynx and down our esophagus‚ our food then enters the stomach. The stomach‚ being the main organ for storage‚ also helps with breaking down our food‚ but in order to accomplish that our pancreas helps by excreting an inactive digestive enzyme called pepsinogen. Pepsinogen is the inactive form

Analysis: Lab 1 Identifying Carbohydrates There were many ranges of color changes in the Benedicts test and Iodine stain. For the Benedicts test‚ this oxidation/reduction response changes the arrangement of the reducing sugar creating a colored precipitate. The change in color is correlated to the first concentration of the reducing sugar. For the iodine test‚ the three dimensional structure of various polysaccharides permits them to react with the iodine stain to produce a certain color. As far

Analysis: Which sample do you suspect has diabetes mellitus? Provide your reasons. Diabetes mellitus is a condition created by the inadequate secretion of insulin from the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that allows your body to use carbohydrates or store them for future use. Inadequate amounts of insulin causes a condition called hyperglycemia‚ which is an excessive amount of glucose in the blood stream. When the blood is filtered through the kidney‚ a large of amount of glucose is retained in the

BIOL 140 Lab—The Chemical Composition of Cells Name ____________________________ I) Introduction All cells contain four major types of macromolecules: carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ nucleic acids‚ and proteins. In today’s lab‚ we will be studying three of the four-proteins‚ carbohydrates and lipids. Various chemical tests can be used to detect the presence of each of these molecules. Most of the tests involve a color change visible to the eye. If a color change is observed‚ the test is considered positive
