Summary Table Biological Molecule Biochemical testPositive Result ProteinBiuretPurple LipidEmulsion Test (ethanol + H 2 O) White precipitate Reducing Sugar Benedicts + HEAT Brick red Non Reducing Sugar
Biological Molecule Biochemical testPositive Result ProteinBiuretPurple LipidEmulsion Test (ethanol + H 2 O) White precipitate Reducing Sugars (mono and most di) Benedicts + HEATBrick red Non Reducing Sugar (sucrose) 1. Hydrolyse into monomers by HCL + boiling. 2. Neutralise with alkali. 3. Retest with Benedicts + HEAT Brick red
Application of Knowledge
Question 1 a)A = Protein B = Lipid C = Reducing Sugar b)Hydrolyse with acid and then neutralise with alkali, re test with Benedicts c)Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen
Question 1 (again!) 1 a) C 12 H 22 O 11 (Because H2O is formed in the condensation reaction) 1 bi) Purple 1 bii) Because it’s a protein 1 c) Benedicts AND heat Brick Red
Application of Knowledge
Question 1 (again!!) 1 a) Nitrogen 1 b i) Benedicts AND heat Brick Red 1 b ii ) Substance A (glucose) 1 c i) Forming bonds, with the removal of water 1 c ii) C (protein) 1 d i) Substance D 1 d ii) Maximum amount of hydrogen atoms NO double bonds / all carbons attached to two hydrogens
