LAB 2: DATE: 29TH September‚ 2011. FORM CLASS: L6 3 SUBJECT: Biology TITLE: Quantitative Glucose Test AIM: To determine the amount of glucose in three unknown samples namely A‚ B and C INTRODUCTION: Biological molecules are held together by covalent bonds‚ hydrogen bonds among others bonds in various ways to produce large molecules called macromolecules. Simple organic compounds and macromolecules molecules vary in structure and can be distinguished by their functional groups. Molecules of a certain

Abstract Literature on Van’t Hoff’s law states that water potentials and zero weight change osmolalities will be the same for potato cores placed in varying concentrations of solutes of NaCl‚ glucose‚ and sucrose. This experiment was designed to test these predictions and compare them to data gathered course wide. We found that the mean water potentials were all within 0.26 bars of each other‚ and that the zero weight change osmolalities were all within 0.035 mols of each other. This supported Van’t

Solubility of Carbohydrates ‚ Glucose ‚ Galactose and Lactose . Objective : To determine the relative solubility of glucose ‚ galactose and lactose by measuring their saturation point at the same constant temperature. Principle : With 10g distilled water contained in a beaker ‚ then add small quantities of the carbohydrate being test at a time with constant stirring until no more can dissolve ‚ saturation point is represented at r.t.p.. Test the carbohydrates ‚ glucose ‚ galactose and lactose

capabilities of particular yeasts have to be exploited. It is now well established that most yeasts employ sugars as their main carbon and hence energy source‚ but there are particular yeasts which can utilize non-conventional carbon sources. With regard to nitrogen metabolism‚ most yeasts are capable of assimilating simple nitrogenous sources to biosynthesize amino acids and proteins (Table 3-1). Aspects of phosphorus and sulphur metabolism as well as aspects of metabolism of other inorganic

Question How do digestive enzymes convert sucrose and lactose into glucose? II. Background Research Do you enjoy eating smoothies packed full of berries and other tasty fruits? This paper is going to discuss how digestive enzymes convert sucrose and lactose into glucose. The following terms will discuss; Sucrose‚ Glucose‚ Lactose and Digestive Enzymes. Sugar is any of a class of crystalline carbohydrates such as sucrose‚ glucose‚ or lactose‚ that dissolves in water and have a characteristic sweet

Variables in Glucose Tolerance lab was to examine the changes in blood sugar during glucose tolerance test conducted with test rats. We will be using three rats and perform the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test to measure the glucose levels in the rats blood. The oral glucose tolerance test is a laboratory method to check how the body breaks down (metabolizes) blood sugar. Glucose is the sugar that the body uses for energy. Patients with untreated diabetes have high blood glucose levels. Glucose tolerance

Introduction Glucose is very important in our daily lives. It gives us energy to carry out all of our activities. Cells in our bodies need glucose to respire and in the process release the energy we need. Glucose is also a type of carbohydrate. It has a chemical formula of C6H12O6 and is a monosaccharide reducing sugar (Kolej Mara Banting – Students’ Handbook for Biology HL Year 1). It is the simplest form of carbohydrate. In this experiment‚ sulphuric acid‚ H2SO4 and potassium permanganate
