Deoxyribonucleic Macromolecules

Part A Part A of this experiment examines the extraction and absorption of casein within milk. The foremost objective is to effectively remove the casein-rich curds from the milk by altering the pH using acetic acid. Then, the objective is to dry the curds so that only the proteins and various other materials remain. Afterwards, this part aims to evaluate the spectrum of copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate, then use this spectrum in comparison to a solution of Casein sodium potassium tartrate and NaOH

1. There are two points of evidence supporting my conclusions of Unknown Sample 158’s identity being Cinnamic Acid. Unknown Sample 158 was a powdery, opaque, and yellowish off white coloured substance. The physical appearance of the unknown substance was very similar to the Cinnamic Acid. More importantly the melting range for the unknown found was . This meant that its identity was either Urea or Cinnamic Acid. When the unknown was mixed in a 1:1 ratio with Urea, its melting point depressed

Macromolecules are huge molecules that are formed when smaller molecules collide into each other which created a much bigger one. It usually happens when a condensation reaction occurs. Macromolecules are also referred as polymers, “poly” meaning many. The way I remember the word macromolecules was when my High School biology teacher referred “Mac” in macromolecules as the Big Mac from McDonalds, which is supposed to be bigger than other burgers. Everything has macromolecules in them, such as plastic

Structure and function of macromolecules within a living organism ‘Some biological molecules in organisms are small and simple containing only one or a few functional groups, others are large, complex assemblies called macromolecules’ [1]. The term macromolecule is convenient because the bulk properties of a macromolecule differ from those of smaller molecules. These large chemical compounds have a high molecular weight consisting of a number of structural units linked together by covalent

The main organic macromolecules discovered in living organisms are lipids, carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acids. These molecules contain small subunits known as monomers. These monomers come together to create polymers which is known as dehydration synthesis. Dehydration synthesis occurs when a hydroxyl group is eliminated from one of the monomers and a hydrogen atom from the other, which then releases a water molecule. Additionally, the process that a water molecule is used to break the bond

The Four Major-macromolecules and their roles in the Cell Cycle All organisms have biological macromolecules that they cannot live without. In order to fully understand them, we categorize them into four major classes: carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. One or more of these molecules are used in every biological process of life, including the cell cycle. Though different parts of the cell cycle rely on one or more of the four major macromolecules, they are all involved in fulfilling

What is the role of Macromolecules? Macromolecules have a major role in everyday life, we might not notice this because we don't exactly know what we use them for and why they are so important to us, mainly because we can see them therefore we are not aware that they exist. The term macromolecules is sometimes used to refer to aggregates of two or more macromolecules held together by intermolecular forces rather then by chemical bonds. Another common macromolecule property that does

Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, like proteins, is a linear macromolecule found in all living cells. In contrast to proteins, however, it is build up of only 4 different types of building blocks, called nucleotides. Nucleotides are composed of a base, being either a purine or pyrimidine group, and a 2'-deoxyribosyl-tri-phosphate. The four types of bases composing the sequence of DNA are purines and pyramidines. The sugar is a 2'-deoxy ribose which is phosphorylated at its 5' hydroxyl group. Free nucleotides

Macromolecules Caterpillars form a chrysalis to eventually become a butterfly which is made of protein. Butterflies are a living things which are made of DNA or Deoxyribonucleic acid which is the macromolecule nucleic acid Butterfly wings are made of very thin layers of chitin which is a carbohydrate The caterpillar goes through a series of chemical reactions controlled by enzymes which is a protein Cells Caterpillars eat leaves that are plants that use photosynthesis to obtain

the sustenance 's protein, sugar, or fat substance, they might as of now be acquainted with a few sorts of vast organic particles, which are going to be discussed in this paper. Therefore, everyone will also be viewed the four major biological macromolecules as are carbohydrates (such as sugars), lipids (such as fats), proteins and nucleic acids (such as RNA and DNA), which all are fundamental forever. A large portion of these molecules is shaped from monomers and polymers. Monomers are small molecules
