This lab report summarizes experiments on the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and triglycerides. In experiment one, albumin was digested with pepsin and hydrochloric acid to test for protein breakdown into peptides. The results showed that both pepsin and hydrochloric acid are needed for protein digestion. Experiment two tested the digestion of starch into maltose using amylase, confirming starch is broken down in the small intestine. The report provides background on the multi-step digestion processes for each macronutrient and cites sources to support the results and conclusions.
Carbohydrates provide energy and structure. Tests identify carbohydrates using color changes from reactions. Molisch test detects all carbs. Iodine test identifies starch turning blue. Benedict's and Fehling's tests show reducing sugars forming a red precipitate. Seliwanoff's distinguishes aldoses and ketoses. Carbohydrates play roles in energy storage, structure, and metabolism.
This document describes two tests, Bial's test and Tauber's test, that are used to detect the presence of pentoses. Bial's test uses orcinol, HCl and ferric chloride reagents and produces a blue-green color in the presence of pentoses. Tauber's test is more specific for pentoses and can detect smaller amounts, using benzidine reagent to produce a cherry red color when pentoses are present. Tauber's test is not interfered with by the presence of hexoses and can detect as little as 0.01 mg of pentose.
This document contains 27 practice questions related to bioenergetics and oxidative phosphorylation. The questions cover topics like standard free energy changes in multi-step reactions, identification of high-energy compounds, components of the electron transport chain, the chemiosmotic hypothesis, and the effects of uncoupling agents. For each question, multiple choice options for the answer are provided.
The document describes various tests to identify carbohydrates and differentiate between them. Molisch's test uses α-naphthol to detect the presence of carbohydrates. Benedict's test detects reducing sugars using copper sulfate. Barfoed's test distinguishes monosaccharides from disaccharides using copper acetate. Seliwanoff's test uses resorcinol to differentiate between aldoses and ketoses. Phenylhydrazine forms characteristic crystals or osazones that can be used to identify sugars present in urine. Needle-shaped fructosazone crystals formed when fructose is treated with phenylhydrazine indicate its presence.
This is aimed to explain the isolation of carbohydrates and starch from plant source. To also verify the presence of carbohydrates from the isolation process through several qualitative tests and qualitative tests for monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides

The document describes the determination of iodine value, which is a measure of the degree of unsaturation in fatty acids. The procedure involves reacting the double bonds in unsaturated fatty acids with iodine, and then titrating the excess iodine with sodium thiosulfate. The iodine values determined for olive oil and sunflower oil were 113.1 and 100.8 respectively, indicating that olive oil contains more unsaturated fatty acids. Higher unsaturation is associated with potential health benefits.

1) Most molecules enter the citric acid cycle as acetyl-CoA. The cycle has three stages: acetyl-CoA production, acetyl-CoA oxidation, and electron transfer.
2) The cycle uses oxygen as the ultimate electron acceptor, completely oxidizes organic substrates to CO2 and H2O, and conserves energy as ATP. Reactions occur in the mitochondrial matrix.
3) Key steps include the condensation of acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate to form citrate, and a series of oxidation and decarboxylation reactions that generate NADH and FADH2 and regenerate oxaloacetate, completing the cycle.

This document provides an overview of chapter 1 from the textbook "Biochemistry" by Reginald H. Garrett and Charles M. Grisham. The chapter discusses the key properties of living systems and examines life at the molecular level. It explores the distinctive properties of living organisms, the types of biomolecules that make up living things, and how simple molecules organize into complex structures and carry out life's functions. The chapter also describes the organizational structure of cells, including their internal compartments, and briefly discusses viruses.
Benedict's reagent is used to test for reducing sugars like glucose, lactose, and fructose. It contains copper sulfate that is reduced to copper oxide when heated with reducing sugars, causing a color change from blue to green, brick red, or brown. Benedict's reagent can also detect glucose in urine samples to test for diabetes. Barfoed's reagent is similar but uses acetic acid, allowing it to distinguish between mono- and disaccharides. Disaccharides do not react for up to 10 minutes while monosaccharides form a blue or green precipitate. Sucrose is hydrolyzed using acid or enzyme to form glucose and fructose in the inversion test.

This document describes the osazone test, which is used to identify sugars. The test involves reacting sugars with phenylhydrazine at boiling point to form osazone crystals. Different sugars form characteristic crystal shapes that can be examined under a microscope to identify the type of sugar. The time it takes for crystals to form also helps in identification, with fructose forming crystals within two minutes while galactose takes 15-19 minutes. The test is useful for identifying reducing sugars.

The document summarizes an experiment on determining the saponification number of corn and palm oil. The experiment involves hydrolyzing the oils with potassium hydroxide (KOH) and titrating the leftover KOH with hydrochloric acid (HCl). The saponification number, which indicates the chain length of fatty acids in the oils, is higher for corn oil, meaning it has shorter fatty acid chains than palm oil. However, the results of this experiment showed the opposite trend, likely due to errors in the experimental procedure.
This document defines parts per million (ppm) as the number of units of mass of a contaminant per million units of total mass. It provides an example that 1 ppm in soils and sediments equals 1 mg of substance per kg of solid. The document also presents the formula for calculating ppm and works through two practice problems calculating ppm concentrations given the mass of solute and solution. It finds that the concentration of calcium ions is 76 ppm in the first example and the concentration of ethanol is 230000 ppm in the second example.

The document describes several experiments to test for the presence of carbohydrates and starch. The Molisch's test uses α-naphthol and sulfuric acid to produce a reddish-violet ring with carbohydrates containing at least 5 carbons. Iodine solution turns starch deep blue by interacting with its helical structure. Benedict's test shows starch is a non-reducing sugar, as its solution produced no color change, but hydrolyzing starch with hydrochloric acid produces a reducing sugar that yields a brick red precipitate with Benedict's reagent.
The chemical elements that form most of living biological matter are oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen. These elements form the basic molecules that make up living organisms, including glucose, fructose and proteins which are made of amino acids. DNA and RNA are examples of nucleic acids that control cellular activity and store genetic information. Proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids are the four major macromolecules or classes of biological molecules.
The document describes various chemical tests used to identify different types of carbohydrates. It provides details of the Molisch test, Iodine test, Benedict's test, Barfoed's test, Seliwanoff's test, and other reactions. These tests help identify carbohydrates based on properties of hydroxyl and carbonyl groups and whether they are reducing sugars, monosaccharides, polysaccharides, or disaccharides. Reaction results are provided to systematically identify and differentiate between glucose, fructose, lactose, maltose, sucrose, and starch.

Molisch's test uses alpha-naphthol and sulfuric acid to detect the presence of carbohydrates that have at least five carbons by producing a reddish-violet ring. Benedict's test uses copper sulfate to detect reducing sugars by producing a brick red precipitate. Seliwanoff's test uses resorcinol and hydrochloric acid to distinguish between aldoses and ketoses by producing a cherry red color in the presence of ketoses.
This document summarizes key concepts about chemical equilibrium:
1) Chemical equilibrium occurs when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal and the concentrations of reactants and products stop changing. The system appears static but reactions are still occurring in both directions.
2) The equilibrium constant, K, is defined based on the balanced chemical equation and describes the position of equilibrium. It depends only on temperature.
3) The reaction quotient, Q, is similar to K but uses the actual concentrations rather than equilibrium concentrations. Comparing Q to K indicates whether a reaction will proceed in the forward or reverse direction to reach equilibrium.
Aromatic compounds contain benzene rings and have delocalized pi bonds between carbon atoms in the ring. Common aromatic hydrocarbons include benzene, methylbenzene, and ethylbenzene which are liquids insoluble in water but soluble in non-polar solvents. Aromatic compounds have a wide range of uses including pharmaceuticals, herbicides, detergents, dyes, and acid-base indicators. Some aromatics like benzene are carcinogenic but not all are, such as aspirin.
This document provides an overview of biochemistry, including its definition, objectives, and relationships to other life sciences.

The document summarizes a 4-step synthesis of 4-morpholinosulfonyl aniline. In step 1, acetanilide was synthesized from aniline with a 67.9% yield. Step 2 involved chlorosulfonation of acetanilide to form p-acetamidobenzenesulfonyl chloride with a 16.3% yield. Step 3 yielded p-morpholin-4-ylsulfonylphenolacetamide at 60% by reacting the chloride with morpholine. Finally, step 4 hydrolyzed this product to yield the target 4-morpholinosulfonyl aniline at 32.4% yield. Spectroscopy and melting point analysis supported
In this ppt the viewer will able to know about different methods for the protein analysis. Proteins are long chain of amino acids and there are specific test also required depends on the nature and structure of proteins. As the name suggest amino acids are organic compounds that contain amino and carboxyl groups. The R- in the formulas stands for different chemical groups (may be aliphatic, aromatic or heterocycylic) and this determines the characteristics of the amino acids. The colour tests have frequently been used for qualitative detection of amino acids. Not all amino acids contain the same reactive groups. For this reason the various colour tests yield reactions varying in intensity and type of colour according to the nature of groups contained in the particular amino acid under examination.

Protein digestion is a two-step process involving enzymes in the stomach and small intestine. In the stomach, pepsin breaks down proteins into smaller polypeptides and some amino acids. In the small intestine, proteases like trypsin and peptidases further break down polypeptides into dipeptides and individual amino acids, which are then absorbed. Tests like Biuret can detect the presence of proteins and the completeness of digestion. Factors like pH, temperature, and inhibitors affect the efficiency of protein digestion.
This document describes experiments that test how temperature and pH affect enzyme activity. The temperature experiment uses salivary amylase and starch solution in three test tubes held at 10°C, 40°C, and 60°C. Iodine tests show that activity is highest at 40°C and stops at 60°C. The pH experiment uses pepsin, pancreatin, egg white, HCl, and Na2CO3 to create acidic and basic conditions. Biuret tests find that enzyme activity occurs under both acidic and basic conditions.

The document summarizes the human digestive system's breakdown of starch, protein, and fats. It describes how the enzyme amylase breaks down starch into smaller sugars in the mouth and small intestine. For protein digestion, it explains how the enzymes pepsin and trypsin break down protein into peptides and amino acids in the stomach and small intestine. Finally, it outlines how bile emulsifies fats so the enzyme lipase can break fats down into fatty acids and glycerol in the small intestine, allowing for absorption.
The students conducted an experiment to determine if the amount of enzyme affects the enzyme reaction rate. They measured the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with potato cubes of varying amounts (3, 4, 5, and 6 cubes) and found that the height of the reaction increased with more cubes, supporting their hypothesis that more enzyme leads to a higher reaction rate.
1. The document describes an experiment to investigate how temperature affects the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction using the enzyme catalase. Students will design and conduct an experiment to test the effect of temperature on catalase activity.
2. The experiment involves using liver tissue containing catalase to break down hydrogen peroxide at different temperatures, measuring the time taken. Students will form a hypothesis, design controls and replications, and identify variables in their experimental plan.
3. Results will be recorded in a data table and graphed to analyze the relationship between temperature and catalase activity rate. Students will then analyze their results, identify sources of error, and explain the significance of optimal catalase activity near mammalian body
The document provides information about the human digestive system:
1) The digestive system is a long tube that runs from the mouth to the anus and breaks down food into smaller molecules for absorption.
2) It contains specialized organs like the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and intestines that each play a role in digestion through mechanical and chemical breakdown of food.
3) In the small intestine, nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream through villi and microvilli in the lining to be used by the body.
Lipids are a heterogeneous group of organic compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and sometimes phosphorus and sulfur. They are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Dietary lipids undergo digestion in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine to be broken down into absorbable forms. In the small intestine, bile salts emulsify lipids and pancreatic lipases hydrolyze triglycerides into fatty acids and monoglycerides. Absorbed lipids are packaged into micelles that enter mucosal cells for re-esterification. Clinical issues related to lipid digestion and absorption include steatorrhea, cystic fibrosis, chyluria, chylothorax, and defects in pancreatic function or bile
This document provides instructions for an experiment to identify macromolecules (lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins) in various foods using chemical indicators. Students will test foods like honey, eggs, corn oil, lettuce, and more using Sudan III stain to detect lipids, iodine to detect starches, Benedict's solution to detect sugars, and Biuret reagent to detect proteins. Observations will be recorded and conclusions drawn about the presence of macromolecules and their relationships to food content and structures.
Proteins are made of amino acids and undergo digestion through hydrolysis. Protein digestion occurs in two phases - in the stomach through pepsin and hydrochloric acid breaking proteins into smaller polypeptides, and in the small intestine through trypsin and other enzymes breaking polypeptides down into individual amino acids. This document describes experiments showing protein digestion through changes in color when albumin is exposed to pepsin or trypsin solutions with and without additions of hydrochloric acid or sodium carbonate. It also defines hydrolysis as the breakdown of a molecule using water and explains its role in protein digestion.
This document summarizes various topics related to antimicrobial drugs, including:
- A brief history of antimicrobial drug discovery from Paul Ehrlich's discovery of Salvarsan 606 to treat syphilis to the discovery of sulfa drugs and penicillin.
- Key terminology used to describe antimicrobial drugs and their mechanisms of action, including categories like bacteriostatic, bactericidal, broad spectrum, narrow spectrum, and synergism.
- The main mechanisms of action that antibiotics use to kill or inhibit bacteria, including disrupting cell walls, inhibiting protein synthesis, and inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis.
- Examples of major classes of antibiotics that act through these different mechanisms, such as penicillins
This is a continuation of the earlier slide with a name "Nucleotides". Please refer to the previous mentioned slide before moving to this slide for a better overall concept on nucleotides and nucleic acids.
The document summarizes the key processes of digestion and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. It discusses:
1) The three main stages of digestion - mechanical and chemical breakdown of food, secretion of enzymes and electrolytes to provide optimal conditions for digestion, and transport of nutrients into the bloodstream.
2) The major secretions at each stage - saliva, gastric juices, pancreatic and bile secretions, and secretions from the small intestine.
3) The enzymes and constituents involved in digesting carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and their absorption mechanisms.
4) Some common digestive disorders that can result from enzyme deficiencies or malabsorption.
This document appears to be a student's chemistry project report on studying the digestion of starch by salivary amylase and the effects of temperature and pH on this process. It includes sections on objectives, introduction, materials, procedures, observations, and conclusions for 3 experiments. The first experiment examines the digestion of starch by saliva over time. The second analyzes the impact of temperature. The third evaluates the impact of pH. The report was guided by a teacher and examines the student's investigation on how salivary amylase breaks down starch at different temperatures and pH levels.
This document provides an overview of enzymes, including their chemistry, classification, mechanisms of action, kinetics, inhibition, and activation. It begins with the basic introduction that enzymes are protein catalysts that speed up biochemical reactions. It then covers enzyme structure and components like cofactors. The major sections explain classification of enzymes based on reaction type, mechanisms like induced fit and catalytic types, kinetics concepts like Michaelis-Menten modeling and factors affecting reaction rates, and types of inhibition like competitive and noncompetitive. The document aims to comprehensively summarize the key topics relating to enzymes.
This document summarizes polysaccharides and glycans. It discusses homopolysaccharides including fructosan, galactosan, and glucosans such as starch and glycogen. Starch is made of amylose and amylopectin and forms helical structures with iodine. Cellulose is composed of beta-glucose units linked by beta-1,4 bonds, forming long straight chains strengthened by hydrogen bonds. Glycosaminoglycans discussed include hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, keratin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, and heparan sulfate. Proteoglycans are composed of core proteins with covalently linked glycosaminoglycan side chains. They
Lipids are digested and absorbed in a multi-step process involving enzymes in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine. In the mouth, lingual lipase begins hydrolysis of triglycerides. In the stomach, gastric lipase continues this process. In the small intestine, pancreatic lipase works with bile salts to further digest triglycerides into fatty acids and monoglycerides. Bile salts emulsify lipids and facilitate absorption. Fatty acids and monoglycerides are absorbed into intestinal cells and re-esterified into triglycerides. These triglycerides are packaged into chylomicrons and enter the lymphatic system for transport.
This document provides information about the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates and their clinical significance. It discusses how carbohydrates are digested by amylases in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine. Disaccharides are further broken down by disaccharidases in the small intestine. The monosaccharides glucose, fructose, and galactose are then absorbed into the bloodstream, primarily through sodium-dependent and sodium-independent glucose transporters. Clinical conditions like lactose intolerance result from deficiencies in disaccharidases like lactase. Overall, the document outlines the multi-step process of carbohydrate digestion and absorption and its implications for health.
1. The document describes various qualitative tests that can be used to identify different types of carbohydrates, including monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.
2. Key tests described include the Molisch test, Benedict's test, Barfoed's test, Seliwanoff's test, and the hydrolysis test for sucrose. Each test exploits a unique chemical property of carbohydrates to indicate their presence.
3. The tests allow identification of carbohydrates by the color change produced, crystalline structure of osazones formed, or ability to reduce copper or show color change with reagents like iodine. Taken together, the battery of tests can determine the identity of an unknown carbohydrate sample.
Here are the key functions of the pancreas in digestion:
- Produces pancreatic juices containing enzymes that help break down food:
- Pancreatic lipase breaks down fats
- Pancreatic amylase breaks down carbohydrates
- Proteases break down proteins
- Releases pancreatic juices into the small intestine through the pancreatic duct
- The enzymes help further break down what the stomach has partially digested, preparing nutrients for absorption in the small intestine
- Also produces hormones like insulin and glucagon that help regulate blood sugar levels
So in summary, the pancreas plays an important role in both the digestive and endocrine systems by producing enzymes and hormones that aid digestion and metabolism. Its enzymes

The document summarizes the key digestive processes in humans. It describes digestion as involving the mixing of food, its movement through the digestive tract, and the chemical breakdown of large food molecules into smaller ones. The major digestive processes are ingestion, propulsion, mechanical and chemical digestion, absorption, and defecation. Mechanical digestion breaks food into smaller pieces physically, while chemical digestion uses enzymes to break molecules down chemically starting in the mouth and finishing in the small intestine.
The document describes the organs of the digestive system and their functions. It begins with an overview of digestion and the two types: mechanical and chemical. It then details each organ of the digestive tract, from the mouth to the large intestine, and their roles in breaking down food. The document also covers the accessory organs that produce enzymes and hormones to aid in chemical digestion, including the salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. It concludes with discussion questions about the digestive process and diseases related to digestion.
The document summarizes the key parts and functions of the digestive system. It describes the two main types of digestion as chemical and mechanical and lists the major organs involved. The tongue, esophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine are each outlined. It also discusses how the digestive system interacts with the circulatory and excretory systems, its role in homeostasis, ways to keep it healthy, and some fun facts.

This document discusses nutrition and healthy eating habits for physical activity. It defines key nutrition terms and describes the digestive system. The document outlines that a balanced diet can prevent chronic diseases and improve energy levels. It also classifies nutrients according to their functions and chemical properties. Nutrients are classified as either energy-giving, body-building, body-regulating, organic, or inorganic.
This document provides an introduction to the course "You and Your Food" which is divided into 4 blocks. Block 1 discusses food groups, nutrients and their functions. It covers the topics of food and food acceptance, functions of food, macronutrients and their functions, micronutrients and their functions, and basic food groups. The block aims to equip learners with key concepts and principles about food and nutrition. It defines important terms, describes socio-cultural aspects of food selection, and lists factors influencing food acceptance such as physiological, socio-cultural and psycho-social factors.
The digestive system is a group of organs that processes food and breaks it down into nutrients that the body can use. Food travels through the digestive tract, which includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and intestines. In these organs, food is broken down through both mechanical and chemical digestion. Nutrients are then absorbed into the bloodstream to feed the entire body while waste is excreted. Maintaining a healthy digestive system requires eating a balanced diet with fiber, limiting irritants, and using digestive aids.
The document discusses the human digestive and nutrition systems. It explains that nutrients from food are broken down into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and used by the body. The digestive system breaks food down mechanically and chemically. Accessory organs like the liver and pancreas produce enzymes and bile that aid digestion. Food passes through the esophagus, stomach, and small and large intestines as it is broken down and absorbed. Undigested waste is eliminated as feces.

These include the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus. It also discusses important digestive glands like the salivary glands, liver, and pancreas. The document provides diagrams to illustrate the digestive system and its processes. It includes quizzes and activities related to the parts and functions of the digestive system.
Metabolic syndrome is a condition characterized by a combination of medical disorders that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. It is becoming more common among middle-aged individuals. To combat metabolic syndrome, lifestyle changes like diet, exercise and weight loss are recommended. Diet pills may help with weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and exercise, but their safety and effectiveness can vary depending on ingredients. Nutrient-drug interactions are complex and can impact drug absorption, breakdown, excretion and side effects like appetite, digestion and metabolism. Careful consideration of foods and supplements is important when taking medications.
The document describes an innovative lesson plan for a 9th standard biology class on the alimentary canal and passage of food. The lesson uses lecture, demonstration, multimedia, group discussion and evaluation to develop students' knowledge of the key facts, concepts, and processes involved in digestion as food passes through the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and is eliminated through the anus. The lesson engages students through role-playing different food items on a tour of the alimentary canal over two class periods.
The document summarizes the key functions of structures in the digestive system, including the tongue, salivary glands, teeth, swallowing process, stomach, and accessory organs like the liver, gallbladder and pancreas. It describes how the tongue aids in tasting, speaking, swallowing and manipulating food. Saliva contains enzymes and mucus to begin digesting carbohydrates and lubricate food. The teeth grind and chew food into a bolus for swallowing. The stomach contains glands that secrete acid and enzymes to digest proteins and the liver and gallbladder produce bile to emulsify fats.
The document provides an overview of the digestive system, including:
1) It describes the main organs that make up the digestive tract and their functions in digesting and absorbing food.
2) It explains the three main stages of digestion - in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine - and the roles of different organs at each stage.
3) It provides a table summarizing the movement, digestive juices, and food particles broken down by each digestive organ.
The document provides an overview of gastrointestinal physiology:
1. The GI tract breaks down food into nutrients that can be absorbed, moving contents along through motility and mixing with secretions.
2. Digestion involves both mechanical and chemical breakdown of food by enzymes from the mouth, stomach, pancreas and intestines.
3. Absorption then occurs as nutrients, water and electrolytes pass from the GI tract into blood vessels and lymphatics.

76 Chapter 3 | Digestion, Absorption, and Transport
The digestion of food begins even before you take that first bite. Just the sight and smell of homemade apple pie stimulates the release of saliva in
the mouth. The secretion of saliva and other digestive juices starts a cascade of
events that prepares the body for digestion, the chemical and mechanical
processes by which the body breaks food down into individual nutrient
molecules ready for absorption. Food components that aren’t absorbed are
excreted as waste (feces) by elimination. Although these are complex
processes, they go largely unnoticed. You consciously chew and swallow the
pie, but you don’t feel the release of chemicals or the muscular contractions
that cause it to be digested or the absorption of nutrient molecules through
the intestinal lining cells. In fact, you may be unaware of the entire process
until about 48 hours after eating, when the body is ready to eliminate waste.
In this chapter, we explore the processes of digestion, absorption, and
elimination, the organs involved, and the other biological mechanisms that
regulate our bodies’ processing of food and nutrients. We also discuss the causes
and treatments of some common gastrointestinal conditions and disorders.
What Are the Processes and Organs
Involved in Digestion?
LO 3.1 Describe the processes and organs involved in digestion.
Digestion, absorption, and elimination occur in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, a mus-
cular tube approximately 20–24 feet long in an adult. Stretched vertically, the tube would
be about as high as a two-story building. It provides a barrier between the food within the
lumen (the hollow .

This graph displays the results with the experiment for digestion of triglyceride
lipids. Test tube 1 had the beginning color of being a light, cloudy purple, at 2 and 4
minutes there was no change, at 6 minutes the color changed to pink. Test tube 2
started out as a lilac color with no change at 2 and 4 minutes and ending with a pink
color. Test tube 3 began with a milky purple with no change at 2 and 4 minutes and
ended in dark purple. Test tube 4 started as light blue/purple color with no change at 2
and 4 minutes ending in light blue.
Discussion and Conclusion:
In experiment one the results were test tube 1 was light blue in color and tested
negative for albumin. Test tube 2 was a light purple indicating the presence of proteins
and tested positive for albumin and negative for pepsin. The protein was not digested in
test tube 2 because without the aid of the hydrochloric acid the pepsin was unable to
breakdown the protein. Test tube 3 came out negative for peptides with a clear color.
The Test tube 4 was negative for both albumin and pepsin and produced no color
