A cell model • Begin a new journal entry titled “A Cell Model”. (Make sure this is in your table of contents) • QOTD: How does the food we eat get into our bloodstream, and eventually our cells?
Food Molecules • I have three types of molecules in these tubes – Starch, Protein, and Glucose. • Starch – Complex Carbohydrate • Glucose – Simple Carbohydrate – Also, the primary energy source for your body • Protein – Coded for by DNA – Made in the cells.
Indicator • An indicator is a known solution or substance that reacts when in the presence of specific molecules or types of molecules. • Lugol’s Iodine – Indicates the presence of Starch • Biuret Solution – Indicates the presence of Protein • Glucose Test Strip – Indicates the presence of Glucose
Materials List • 20 ml Syringe • Glucose, Starch, or Protein Solution • Lugol’s Iodine, Biuret, or Glucose test strips. • One 7 inch piece of Dialysis Tubing • Two 3 inch strings • One plastic cup • Distilled water • Electronic Balance
Pair off into teams at your tables • We will be working in groups of two (three only if necessary) • Work with your partner today to develop an investigative question, a hypothesis, and a procedure
Investigative Question • This question needs to ask about the relationship between at least two variables. • It must be able to be answered using the materials we have. • Can _________ cross a semi permeable membrane?
Hypothesis • If, then, because – but it doesn’t have to be in those exact words. • A good hypothesis does the following: • 1. States the relationship between a manipulated variable and the responding variables • 2. States why the manipulated variable will cause a change in the manipulated variable.
Procedure • This must be written so that someone else could reproduce your results. People omit a lot of steps because they think they are obvious. They are not. • Must be numbered, logical sequence that will include all steps necessary to complete both days of this lab.
