Identification of Macromolecule

Macromolecules contain more than one molecules. They ar usually found in foods. For example, lipids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and proteins are the living organisms that macromolecules are commonly found. Their functions are mostly storing energy and information. By performing this lab, types of macromolecules are found. There are three different experiments that we performed. They are unity test, Biuret Test and Benedicts test. With 11 sources includes one unknown solution, the macromolecules will be found in the solutions and also, the unknown solution will be identified aft(prenominal) the experiments. In this case, unknown solution is unknown number For example, from Iodine test, if the solution contains glycogen molecule, pale yellow ace solution turns red-brown. If the solution contains starch molecule, the solution will turn game black glossary. For the Benedicts test, blue coloured solution means reducing sugars and coloured headlong means they contain some macro molecules. The colours they represent are yellow, green, red and brown. For the Biuret Test, the colour change occurs when at that place is protein inside the solution. Colour change will be violet or yellow.Materials and Methods Materials we used were 12 micro disposable plastic beakers Pasteur pipettes & bulbs 1 spot-plate test-tube rack 12 test-tubes 1 test-tube clamp 1 dropper bottle containing 1% copper sulfate 1 dropper bottle containing iodine solution 1 wide beaker with boil chips 1 marker 15 ml of 1% glucose solution 15ml of 0.3% glucose-1-phosphate 15ml of 1% maltose solution 15ml of honey solution 15ml of 1% sucrose solution 15ml of 1% lactose solution 15ml of 1% glycogen solution 15ml of 1% starch solution 15ml of protein, 15ml of beer 15ml of distilled water and 15ml of 210 unknown solution 10% Sodium hydroxide 1% copper sulfate.Methods Three experiments were performed in order, Iodine test, Benedicts test and Biuret Test. Before the experiments are begun, put all the 15ml of solutions into the beaker 1 to 12. These beakers are numbered with marker. Tube 1 is fill up to with the approximately 1 ml of the liquid from beaker 1 (1/2 of the full Pasteur pipette is approximately 1 ml). Tube 2 is filled with the approximately 1 ml of the liquid from beaker 2. Untill all 12 tubes are filled up with 1 ml of the appropriate solution. 2ml of Benedicts solution is added to all(prenominal) tube. The contents are mixed to each tube thoroughly. Boil the contents of each tube by placing the tube in a boiling water bath which has boiling chips in the water for about 5 minutes and note the colour change. Finally.All of the observations are recorded and explained. Firstly, for the Iodine test, 1 drop of the solution is put from the beaker 1 into a dandy well on a spot-plate. Then one drop of iodine solution is added to the sample drop. This is how iodine test is done. Any colour change is recorded, as well as any differences and other observations. Iodine test is repeated on every other remaining solutions. All the observations are recorded on a piece of paper. Benedicts test was done with five procedures. Firstly, the tubes were Observation before and after colour, post or negat, beaker and solu name Discussion explaineverythign in detail fuck
