The Chemistry of Life TOTAL POINTS: 10 POINTS EXPERIMENT 1: TESTING FOR PROTEINS Data Tables (5 Points) Table 1: Testing for Proteins Results Sample Initial Color Final Color Is Protein Present? 1. Albumin Solution Yellow tint Purple Yes 2. Gelatin Solution Darker yellow Purple Yes 3. Glucose Clear No Change No 4. Water Clear No Change No 5. Unknown Milky-white No Change No Post-Lab Questions (3 points) 1. Record your hypothesis about what will happen when Biuret solution is mixed with the solutions from test tubes 1, 2, 3, and 4 here. Be sure to use scientific reasoning to support your hypothesis. a. Albumin Solution: Color change to violet; protein present. b. Gelatin Solution: Color change to violet; protein present. c. Glucose: No color change; no protein present. d. Water: No color change; no protein present. © eScience Labs, 2018
The Chemistry of Life 2. Write a statement to explain the molecular composition of the unknown solution based on the results obtained during testing with the Biuret solution and each sample solution. a. Based on the absence of a purple color change when the unknown solution was tested with the Biuret solution, it can be concluded that the unknown solution does not contain proteins. 3. Diet and nutrition are closely linked to the study of biomolecules. How should you monitor your food intake to ensure the cells in your body have the materials necessary to function? a. To ensure cells have the necessary materials, include proteins for repair and growth, consume complex carbohydrates for energy, opt for healthy fats for cell integrity, ensure a varied diet for vitamins and minerals, and stay hydrated with sufficient water intake.
