Elementary school (K-5), junior high school (6 - 8), high school (9 - 12), fifth graders, six graders, seventh graders, eight graders, ninth graders,
There are four types of biopolymers: proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acids
All biopolymers are composed of small amounts of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur.
With a simple test, you can detect the presence of proteins, lipids, carbohydrates in specific samples (various foods).
Lipid, fat, sugar, carbohydrate, protein, polymer, amino acid, glucose, sucrose, monosaccharide, disaccharide, polysaccharide, starch, enzyme, fatty acid, polar / nonpolar molecule, nucleic acid, polymer
SEP tests lipids, proteins, carbohydrate kits. This includes all necessary test reagents (K 243). If you can not access the SEP Resource Center, you can order reagents through WARDS or CAROLINA SCIENTIFIC.
Protein station: biuret reagent, test tube or transparent plastic cup, pipette, various foods (milk, yoghurt, cheese, meat, tofu, apple, potato, yeast, heated bean, egg etc.), plate
Lipid station: Various oils (such as olive oil, sesame oil, grape seed oil, peanut oil, rapeseed oil, walnut oil, margarine, butter, lard, chrisco etc), milk of various fats (fat free), 1%), 2% Whole milk), egg white solution, egg yolk solution, other solutions with / without lipid, Sudan Red test, brown paper bag, cotton swab, Sudan III solution
Carbohydrate station: Various carbohydrate tests (potato, sweet potato, bread, cooked noodles, biscuits, cornflakes, sugar, apples, wheat flour, corn starch etc), Benedict solution, iodine solution, corn syrup, test tube, hot plate,
Students are divided into three groups and they are switched between stations. There, students can work independently or in pairs
Classroom or laboratory You will need a sink and outlet (if you want students to clean it)
At each station, the students take about 30-40 minutes. Extra time for each site is very useful for students to continue their follow-up survey (see extension)
Reagents are chemicals used in our laboratory to identify different types of biomolecules. There are four types of biomolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. In this experiment we run two different carbohydrate tests, a lipid test and a protein test. Five unknown samples, each containing biomolecules, are obtained. You will react each chemical substance with each unknown sample to identify the biomolecule that exists and the given cell function of each sample
There are six different nutrients essential to the body. Carbohydrates, lipids and proteins are major nutrients. Vitamins and minerals are classified as micronutrients because they require only a small amount (Nutrition: Science and Applications, 2012). Carbohydrates, lipids and proteins are energy producing nutrients. The energy source of the body is always a carbohydrate nutrient. Lipids are often referred to as grease. - Many things can produce electricity, but fruits such as citrus fruits can also produce electricity. I chose this topic. Because I saw a potato clock that became interested in fruit electricity in the movie, so I decided to use citrus fruits to generate electricity. Citrus fruits are acidic fruits that produce electricity. For more information, please read the following questions. • Make fruit citrus. • Why citrus fruits produce electricity
Carbohydrates attach to membrane lipids and proteins as short oligosaccharide chains. Proteins bound to sugar molecules are called glycoproteins, and lipids attached to sugar molecules are called glycolipids. Carbohydrates form a pericellular protective shell called sugar coating, which helps to recognize cells. Glycoproteins are formed by glycosylation of proteins. There are two types: N-glycosylation (sugar linkage to the nitrogen atom of the asparagine residue) and O-glycosylation (the sugar is attached to the hydroxyl group of the serine or threonine r
