2020 Modified Biochemistry Lab-- use notes/text to assist :) cloned 9/27/2020 cloned 10/15/2020

Modified Macromolecule Lab... ** NOTE THAT THERE WILL BE NO FEEDBACK ON THIS GOFORMATIVE AND IT IS DUE ON MONDAY, 11/2 BY 10 A.M.

Each of the procedures below can be used to test for organic compounds in a sample:  

Polysaccharides (Iodine Test)

1. Place your sample into a petri dish or test tube.
2. Put 3 to 5 drops of iodine onto your sample.
3. Note the results- black indicates a positive result.

Monosaccharides & Reducing Disaccharides (Benedicts Test)

1. Place your sample in a test tube.  
2. Put 3 to 5 drops of Benedict’s solution onto your sample   
3. Place the test tube into a hot water bath.  
4. Allow the sample to sit in the hot water bath for 2 to 3 minutes.  
5. Carefully remove your test tube with a test tube clamp and note the results- green, yellow and orange indicate a positive result.

Proteins (Biuret Test)
1. Place a your sample in a petri dish or test tube.  
2. Put 3 to 5 drops of Biuret solution onto your sample.  
3. Note the results- violet indicates a positive result.

Lipids (Litmus or Sudan IV Test)
1. Dip your litmus test strip into your sample or add 3-5 drops of Sudan IV reagant.
2. Note the results (light pink= no lipids, red= lipids present)    

Again, how to read positive results:
+ polysaccharides= black
+ protein= dark violet/purple
+ lipids= oil ring (for paper blotter), red color (for Sudan IV litmus test strip)
+ monosaccharides/disaccharides= yellow/orange/green

Now, let's review the results...

5

What were the color change results???

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
negative result: no color change		starch solution
positive result: black		vegetable oil solution
positive result: red		gelatin solution
positive result: purple		glucose solution
positive result: yellow		amino acid solution

12

What were the test results??? since vegetable oil was not included with the other biomolecules, it will be excluded in this section of results. *Be sure to indicate all positive and negative results below.

Positive for Benedicts (+)
Positive for Biuret (+)
Negative for Iodine (-)
Positive for Iodine (+)
Negative for Benedicts (-)
Negative for Biuret (-)

gelatin solution
glucose solution
starch solution
amino acid solution

Now, some more foundational practice 🤓
