MACROMOLECULS LAB: What are the mystery powders? Period: 4 Asia Enoch Introduction: A carbohydrate is an immediate form of energy in your body. Monomers is smaller than a polymer. For carbohydrate the monomer is sugar and the polymer is a polysaccharides. Carbohydrates are important to our body because we need to use energy. The purpose of this lab is to figure which one is the monomer and which one is the polymer. Hypothesis: If I place two drops of iodine into the mystery powder‚ it

Macromolecule Report Monomer units of biological macromolecules have heads and tails. When they polymerize in a head-to-tail fashion‚ the resulting polymers also have heads and tails. These macromolecules are polar because they are formed by head to tail condensation of polar monomers. Making Glucose: Green plants manufacture glucose through a process that requires light‚ known as photosynthesis. This process takes place in the leaf chloroplasts. Carbon dioxide and water molecules enter a sequence

Macromolecules in Food INTRODUCTION The most common macromolecules found in living organisms are lipids‚ carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids. (Hillis et al 2011). Macromolecules are normally containing two or more monomers in them and their main functions are to store energy. Starch is a huge molecule made up of hundreds of simple sugar molecules (such as glucose) connected to each other. Most foods are known to be combinations of macromolecules. METHODS The tests performed were iodine

INTRODUCTION In this lab‚ we will be measuring the viscosity of samples of polyvinyl alcohols in order to determine the molecular mass of their components. Polyvinyl alcohol is an example of a synthetic polymer‚ which is a macromolecule. The general chemical structure of such compounds are well-characterized‚ although variation in characteristics such as molar mass‚ chain length‚ and extent of branching are not obvious from merely looking at their molecular formula. There is also the complication

Abby Goldschmidt Honors Biology 2° Mrs. Gempel September 3‚ 2015 Daphnia Lab Results Paper Abstract The goal of the study was to observe the effects of multiple chemicals on a Daphnia magna’s heart-rate compared to a control (pond water). The different chemicals were caffeine and alcohol. The heart-rate was the main variable in this experiment. The Daphnia’s heart-rate was observed for 15 seconds and then multiplied by 4 to show its heart-rate in one minute. This was repeated 4 times for each

Laboratory Report on the Reaction of Flames Towards Medals  Introduction The purpose of the flame lab was to identify a set of flame-test color standards for selected metal ions‚ relate the colors of a flame test to the behavior of excited electrons in a metal ion‚ observe spectral lines using diffraction grating‚ and to identify an unknown metal ion by using a flame test. My hypothesis for the lab was that most of the flames when sprayed with a solution will be a orange-red color. The

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

Will no gum or having gum improve test scores? Data Analysis The question being answered in this experiment is‚ “Which gum will improve memorization the best?” The hypothesis for this experiment is‚ “If the gum flavor is altered‚ then one flavor will improve memorization more than another flavor.” The independent variable is the flavor of the gum. The dependent variable is the scores after taking the test with the different flavors. The control group was the test scores without any gum.Experimental

In this experiment‚ we used acquired observational data to develop an activity series describing the relative reactivity of the metals being tested. The elements within a periodic table often show different trends in physical and chemical properties depending on the period or group they are apart of. In a periodic table‚ elements are arranged by increasing atomic number in horizontal rows called periods. The atomic numbers represent the number of protons in each element. The periodic table is also

Utilizing the Lab Results PS2200 - Criminal Investigation Unit 04 Assignment 01 As the lead homicide investigator for this case I had recently learned that the crime lab has concluded that the finger print that was recovered belonged to the boyfriend‚ they were from a piece of notebook paper found under the body of the victim. Interviews are conducted in criminal cases for the purpose of gathering information from people who have‚ or may have‚ knowledge needed in the investigation. (Swanson
