Macromolecules Diverse molecules that serve a variety of purposes in living organisms
Carbohydrates • Made of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen • Monosaccharide • Glucose, fructose, ribose • Disaccharide • Lactose, Sucrose • Polysaccharide • “Many Sugars”
Carbohydrates • Polysaccharides • Starch • Glucose storage • Glycogen • Glucose storage • Cellulose • structural
Carbohydrates • How do you break up large sugars? • Hydrolysis • With use of enzymes, break down complex starches to glucose, in presence of water. • Ex: Seed growth, beer production
Lipids • Made of Carbon and Hydrogen • Insoluble in water • Ex: Oils, fats • Found in plants and animals
Proteins • Made of tightly bound Amino Acids • Peptide bonds • Structure • Primary • Secondary • Tertiary • Quaternary
Tests to be performed today Sugar, Starch, Lipid, Protein
Sugar Test • Benedict’s Reagent • Glucose vs. Sucrose • Tests for presence of simple sugars (monosacchride) • Record results
Starch Test • Iodine Reagent (iodine potassium iodide) • Mix with potato starch in test tube • Record results
Hydrolysis • Breaking up sugars with water and acid • Test samples with Benedict's test and Iodine test • Record results
Lipid Test • Brown Paper test • Record Results
Protein Test • Biuret reagent – protein indicator • Albumin – Egg protein • Record Results
Macromolecules in Food • Separation of Butter • Lipid Layer and Protein Layer of butter • Perform tests on the two layers and regular butter • Tests with food • Perform the tests on Banana, Coconut, Milk, Peanut, and Potato
Lab Manual 52-75 Conversions and Scientific Notation Difference between a monosachride and disachride Monosachrides are simple sugars Disachrides have two simple sugars joined together Carbohydrates are long chains of sugars An example of a way that we use macromolecules: Lipids – cell membranes Proteins – enzymes (hemoglobin) Carbohydrates – energy storage Nucleic Acids – DNA Lab Manual pp 52-75
