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.

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

Identification of Macromolecules Introduction The most common macromolecules found in living organisms are lipids‚ carbohydrates‚ proteins and nucleic acids. Briefly‚ the meaning of macromolecules is that they normally contain two or more molecules in them and their main functions are to store energy‚ information and much more. Most foods are known to be combinations of macromolecules. While some of these compounds can be detected by taste tests‚ many cannot. Scientists then use certain

These biological macromolecules vary greatly in size - from several hundred to several hundred million molecular weight units - and are made up of monomer units. There are four major classes of biological macromolecules: proteins‚ carbohydrates‚ lipids

Laboratory Report SCPB111 Principles of Biology Faculty of Applied Sciences Pearson Institute of Higher Education 14 March 2018 Abstract Biological molecules are part of Introduction Biological molecules are formerly known as macromolecules. Macromolecules are large molecules that are formed from smaller molecules called monomers (Ellisman‚ 2014). They are formed by dehydration reactions‚ in which a water molecule is removed during the formation of bonds (Wayne Huang‚ 2015). Biological molecules

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.
