Types of Macromolecules Lab Report Name: Drasti Patel ID #: 20575017 Partner: Sijia Luo Course: BIOL 130L – 019 Tuesday, 7:30 Room # 151 TA: Ashutosh Patel, Doshina Naila Date of Experiment: September 16, 2014 Date of Submission: September 23, 2014 Introduction: The objective of this lab experiment is to identify different macromolecules by carrying out three different tests such as iodine test, Benedict’s test and the biuret test. These three tests are going to examine different properties of macromolecules such as their bonds, and functional groups to identify the solution as one of the four macromolecules. The iodine test is used to determine the presence of polysaccharides such as starch and glycogen in the solution (Harisha, 2006).…

Introduction: Neonatal bone health is a problem of growing interest and concern because of the increasing recognition of its impact upon childhood, adolescence and even adulthood. Osteoporosis in adulthood often has its roots in childhood. Some forms may be prevented by proper attention to neonatal and childhood bone health. A premature infant likely suffers lifelong decreased bone mineral density as a result of its early birth and the lack of adequate mineral stores that are typically present in full-term infants (Done, 2012). Caffeine is now one of the most commonly prescribed drugs in the NICU to treat apnea of prematurity.…
Which would include lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. A lipid is a group of naturally occurring molecules, some example of lipids are fats, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins, monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides, phospholipids, and more. A protein is a large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues. A nucleic acid is a complex organic substance present in living cells, especially DNA or RNA, whose molecules consist of many nucleotides linked in a long chain. A carbohydrate is biological molecule consisting of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms.…
The one cell must do the functions of the cells in a multicellular organism. Additionally, the object has the chemicals of life. It has the elements in CHON, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. It also has carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acid. The object retains 2 characteristics, cellular organization and the chemicals of life, of live.…

3-2-1 Assignment- Genetic Inheritance 3 Main Points: 1. The cell contains three important things. Those three things are the nucleus, mitochondria, and the ribosomes. The nucleus consists of DNA and RNA molecules which contain hereditary information that has a jurisdiction of the cell’s purpose. The mitochondria contains mtDNA distinctive influence in human developmental research.…
The four macromolecules that consist in all living organisms are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Everyone of these macromolecules has essential responsibilities in people daily functions. “They are able to establish large strings of molecules that both support and carry out life’s functions.” (Daempfle, 2016) They are also gathered and ungathered for use by cells.…
Also, responsible for the breaking down of fatty acids by beta-oxidation, excess purines to urea, and toxic compounds (ex: eliminates drugs and toxins from the liver and kidneys) Secretory Vesicle- vesicles that mediate the vesicular transport of cargo from an organelle to specific sites at the cell membrane, where it docks and fuses to release its content (ex: hormones or neurotransmitters) Ribosomes- a minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins, found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells. They bind messenger RNA and transfer RNA to synthesize polypeptides and proteins Cytoplasm- The jellylike material that makes up much of a cell inside the cell membrane, and, in eukaryotic cells, surrounds the nucleus. The organelles of eukaryotic cells, such as mitochondria, the endoplasmic reticulum, and (in green plants) chloroplasts, are contained in the cytoplasm.…
A macromolecule is a molecule that contains any "large number" of atoms. There are four main different categories of macromolecules that make up our body: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. (1) Carbohydrates are sugars that store and transport energy. (2) Lipids also store energy and also are signalling molecules. (3) Proteins are linear chains of amino acids that help with the structure, function, and regulation of the body’s tissues and organs.…

Another is an enzyme, whose function varies based on the shape that it is given. Enzymes allow all chemical bonds from the dehydration synthesis process to occur at a much faster rate than if there was no enzymes. Enzymes allow life to occur, without them, the reactions would take much too long for life to sustain. The final macromolecule is nucleic acids. They are made from carbon, nitrogen, phosphate, oxygen, and hydrogen.…
Biomolecules are organic compounds that are essential for life. These molecules have essential functions like as source of energy, materials for building new body mass such as muscles, and other molecules with essential functions like hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. These biomolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nuclei acids. Biomolecules are called polymers (large molecules) which are composed of smaller molecules known as monomers.…
Proteins Proteins are large, complex macromolecules that play many important roles in organisms. They are required for the regulation, structure, and function of the body’s organs and tissues. Some may act as antibodies, chemical messengers, enzymes, structural components, and transport devices within the cell. Proteins are made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller subunits known as amino acids. Amino acids are made up of a single carbon atom attached to a carboxyl group, an amino group, and a unique side chain, or R-group.…
