Did you know that atoms are in that soda you are drinking? Or that there are molecules in the brocoli you always feed to your dog secretly under the dining room table? Atoms and molecules make up our life. To start off, atoms refers to the smallest part of an element that is still an element. Nextly, molecules refers to two or more atoms joined together acting as a unit. In total, there are four major atoms and four major molecules when dealing with the atoms and molecules of life. Wondering what the 4 major atoms are? They are Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen (CHON) that each major molecule has, but in different variations. The first major molecule is Carbohydrates. This molecule contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Also, Carbohydrates splits into three sections called manhachrid, disaccharide, and polysaccharide. These three sections have groupings of different building blocks. The main building blocks for Carbohydrates is sugar. That being said, carbohydrates is a very fast energy source. Some examples of Carbohydrates would be lactose, glucose, and maltose. A science experiment to test if Carbohydrates where in something, you could do the sugar test. The sugar test is where you put a food in a testing tube, then put a little bit of Benedict (a chemical) in with the food. After that, put the testing tube in boiling water using test tube clamps. Let the tube sit in the water for 3 minutes then take it out. Depending on the color of the inside of the tube,
1. Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen make up carbohydrates. Small carbs contain twice as many hydrogen atoms as oxygen atoms; simple sugars, called monosaccharides, are the basic building blocks for
Carbohydrates are organic compounds that are made up of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Carbohydrates are used as a point of supplies of energy. The energy is stored and can be used in the future.
The chemistry of life is Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon and Nitrogen combined in the right way. Combination of just the right ingredients and just the right amount. These fundamental ingredient of life. Carbon is the main ingredient. Carbon is everywhere. Carbon is very flexible and can be combined with many other. Amino acids used energy and became peptides, and which can link together to form proteins. From non-living to living

A macromolecule is a large molecule composed of small molecular units called monomers that are linked to together in long chains called polymers. Lipids are hydrophobic, non polar macromolecules that insulate organs, store energy, and make up cell membranes. Their monomers are called triglycerides. Proteins are another example of macromolecules. Made up of monomers called amino acids held together by peptide bonds, proteins provide structural support, defense, and cell regulation. The third macromolecule that is going to be tested for are carbohydrates. Carbohydrates, such as sugars and starches, are needed for energy storage and are made up of monomers called monosaccharides.
All living things contain some form of organic macromolecules including: Lipids, proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids. All of these organic molecules are alike in the sense that is they are made up of bonded elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and to smaller quantities nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur. The macromolecules each contain large long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms and often consists of repeating smaller molecules bonded together in a repeating pattern (polymers). To test whether a specific solid white substance is a protein is simple due to the unique chains found in the respective type of macromolecule. To test if the substance is a carbohydrate, two tests could be performed on separate samples of the object. First,
Carbohydrates are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Carbohydrates can come from fruits, vegetables, and grains. There are two different kinds of carbohydrates. The first being simple carbohydrates, which are sugars. Glucose, fructose, and galactose fall under the sugar category. Then you have your complex carbohydrates, which are starch in grains, glycogen stored in our muscles, and fiber. When it comes to energy within our body glucose is a major source of energy. When our body does not get enough carbohydrates to supply enough glucose, our body will make glucose from proteins. I applied this to my life by making sure I eat fruits, vegetables, and grains to get my carbohydrates every single
Atoms make up molecules, which make up cells. Cells are the base of everything that is living. Cells make up tissues, when a group of cells are similar in their structure they group together and make up the tissues. When two or more tissue types combine, it creates an organ that has a specific functionality for the
No I did not because I normally don’t consume that many carbohydrates on a daily basis due to the fact that I’m trying to watch what I eat to keep a healthy lifestyle and maintain my body weight.
What happens if you eat too few carbohydrates? What happens if you eat too few lipids?
Carbohydrates are macromolecules which and contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (C,H,O). There are also two types of sugars, sweet soluble and starches which are non-soluble. Sugars can also be single or simple sugars.Carbohydrates can be found in a wide variety of foods such as pasta, wheat and grains, rice, potatoes, fruits and sugars. Carbohydrates are broken down into
Purpose the purpose of this experiment was to perform test to detect the presence of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Explain the importance of a positive and a negative control in biochemical test. Use biochemical test to identify an unknown compound.
As it turns out, though, atoms are not the fundamental constituents of matter. When we zoom closer into matter, by probing at smaller distances, the subatomic world unfolds. The closer we look, the stranger this world, the quantum world, actually behaves. We can not make a direct connection with it: at a small scale, objects do not behave like rods or balls or waves or clouds or anything we have ever directly experienced. But the quantum mechanics of this world does let us describe how atoms form
The term ‘’Carbohydrates’’ is defined as the carbon compounds which contains hydroxyl groups in large quantities (King, 2013). Carbohydrates are those organic compounds which have the empirical formula CnH2nOn, or (CH2O)n (Fromm 1997). Carbohydrates are one of the four types of organic compounds in living cells that are produces during photosynthesis and are the important source of energy in both plants and animals (Ahmed 2014). They are built from monosaccharides. These monosacchradies are the small molecules that consists of three to nine carbon atoms and differ in size and in the stereochemical configuration at one or more carbon centers. The simplest carbohydrates also contain either an aldehyde or ketone compounds (freeman 2002). Carbohydrates are classified as simple and complex carbohydrates. The classification of carbohtdydrates is based on the chemical structure of the food and how fast it absorbs. Simple carbohydrates contains single or double sugars in their chemical structure whereas complex carbohydrates consists of three or more sugars (ahmed 2014). There are four major types of carbohydrates depending on their chemical composition.
As the earlier mentioned concept, the atoms are specific to the material they compose, solids are made of small, pointy atoms, liquids of large, round atoms, and oils are made of very fine, small atoms that can easily slip past each
