Separation Of Glucose Synthesis Essay

First Experiment- One lab partner should prepare a test tube that contains 10 mL of the lactose solution. Make sure to label the tube as being Tube One. Another lab partner should prepare a test tube with 10 mL of the lactose solution and 1 mL of the lactase solution. Take caution in measuring the solutions. Label the tube with lactase and lactose as being Tube Two and cut off an appropriate amount of paraffin wax paper to cover the opening of the tube. Press the paper tightly to the tub and turn upside down several times. Wait for six minutes (timer is suggested) so that the solutions are properly mixed. During the wait, prepare two glucose-testing strips. The glucose strip has an aqua color to begin with. If there is glucose present in the solution, the color can range from brown to green instead of aqua. When the six minutes are up, dip the first glucose strip into the lactose-only solution to immerse the tip, and then remove immediately. Dip the second glucose strip into the lactase …show more content…
Take caution in measuring the solutions. Measure out an appropriate amount of paraffin wax paper to cover the opening of the test tube. Press the paraffin wax firmly to the test tube and turn the test tube upside down several times to mix the solution well. Wait six minutes for the solution to be properly broken down (timer is suggested). During the six-minute wait, prepare a glucose-testing strip. The glucose strip has an aqua color to begin with. If there is glucose present in the solution, the color can range from brown to green instead of aqua. When the six minutes are up, dip the testing strip into the sucrose solution enough that it immerses the tip, then immediately remove. Wait one minute to match the color of the tip to the coloration key on the glucose testing strip bottle and record the amount of glucose present according to the
