Nucleotides

It is an organic molecule made up of three basic components- a nitrogenous base, phosphate,and pentose sugar. The nucleotides are important for metabolic reactions andthe formation of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).

Nucleic Acids

Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and viruses. They carry the genetic information for the synthesis of proteins and cellular replication. The nucleic acids are of two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The structure of all proteins and ultimately every biomolecule and cellular component is a product of information encoded in the sequence of nucleic acids. Parts of a DNA molecule containing the information needed to synthesize a protein or an RNA are genes. Nucleic acids can store and transmit genetic information from one generation to the next, fundamental to any life form.

HYDROLYSIS OF CARBOHYDRATES INTRODUCTION: Hydrolysis is the process where water is used to break long polysaccharide chains into smaller chains or into simple carbohydrates. Disaccharides can be hydrolyzed into two monosaccharaides units by the use o an enzyme or acid. Sucrose is table sugar which yields glucose and fructose while lactose gives glucose and galactose after hydrolysis. Starch is a homopolysaccharide made up of d-glucose polymer. They are reserved carbohydrates of plants. They are made of two types of polymers namely: amylose (10-30%), no linear and has a 1,4 link and amylopectin (70-90%) is branched having the a 1,4 link and a 1,6 link. Objectives: At the end of the activity, the student can: 1. Hydrolyze the carbohydrate into its monosaccharide unit. 2. Test the products of hydrolysis. Reagents: 6 ml Benedict's reagent, 3 ml Seliwanoff's reagent, 1 ml iodine in KI, 4 ml 3M HCI, 4 ml 3M NaOH, 30 ml distilled water, 0.5 g starch, 0.5 g sucrose Materials: 12(20 ml Test…
