Macromolecules are a essential part of life, which make up living organisms. A macromolecule is a large molecule that is joined by tiny molecules by forming new bonds. This processs is called dehydration synthesis, and it is when a water molecule is removed and a covalent bond is formed. Breaking this bond is called hydrolysis, it is the the addition of a water molecule and releases energy. Examples of macromolecules would be nucleic acids, proteins, and polysaccharides (2 or more sugars). The biological components are composed of starches, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Starches consisit entirely of glucose monomers and are joined by glycosidic linkages, only found in plants. Lipids are a large group of biological molecules that

Monosaccharides are the simplest form of a carbohydrate, and serve as a monomer for disaccharide (2 or
more monossacharides) and polysaccharide (3 or more monossacharides). Examples of a monosaccharide is glucose, fructose, and galactose. Meanwhile, disaccharides are joined by a glycosidic linkage formed by a
dehydration reaction. Examples of disaccharides are sucrose, lactose, and maltose. Lastly, a polysaccharide is a polymer of 3 or more sugars formed by a deydration reaction. Examples of polysaccharides are starch and
glycogen. In this experiment, central sugars can be found by utilizing Benedict's test. Proteins are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and from time to time sulfur. Proteins are covalently maintained in chains as
polymers of amino acids. These bonds are called peptide bonds. Peptide bonds are the covalent bond between the carboxyl group and one amino acid and the amino group on another formed by a dehydration reaction.
Amino acids related together edge a polypeptide called a protein. Several proteins are other than real primary purposes. The Benedict's test is utilized to discover either amino acids or proteins. The Biuret's test is for …show more content…
This protein using CuSO4 and NaOH should result in a color change from purple to a darker purple color. Lipids are macromolecules that are generally insoluble in water. Lipids are made of carbon, hydrogen, and
oxygen. They are shown as fats or triglycerides. Oils are fluid at room temperature and are called unsaturated. Strong fats are submerged. Lipids are found in cell films and are a huge energy source. By utilizing the Sudan III
test the domain of lipids can be found. Sudan is a red dye that forms hydrophobic interactions with the hydrocarbon chains of lipids.
In this lab, an experiment was conducted to check for the locale of specific macromolecules in known substance. We believed that iodine test for starch, would be that glucose and starch held simple sugars, but it
did not. The hypothesis was that color would change blue-black on the starch sample and not on the sugar samples. The hypothesis was that the potato contained starch and the onion did not. The biuret test for protein
tested for both amino acids and protein. For this experiment the only hypothesis was that the starch sample would more than likely not to change color. Lastly, Sudan III test hypothesis was that color would change
