Biochemical Unknown I. Introduction Cultural Characteristics or morphology and biochemical tests can be used to identify and classify microorganism. By culturing microorganism in nutrient broth, slants, and on nutrient agar plates, the cultural characteristics or morphology can be determined. In this lab, the test tube 2 was incubated in a nutrient broth. The pigmentation of the tube was yellow. The media for test tube 2 was turbid. There were a few sediment on the bottom of the broth. In…

were supposed to be tested in space to examine their effects in space however, after the explosion, the experiments need to be returned back to each country accordingly. The Chinese will get LB (mineral oil), MD (aluminum), WC (oak), and PA (corn starch); the Russian people shall receive LC ( isopropyl alcohol), MC (brass), WA (poplar), and PC (salt); the people of the U.S. will receive LE (corn syrup), MF (lead), WB (balsa), and PF (sucrose); the Australian…

Due to their weight, macromolecules make up a great part of a living organic cell. Biological molecules are put under groups based on the way they behave and the similarities they share. There are four main types of macromolecules, namely proteins, nucleic acids, fats and membrane lipids and carbohydrates (which include monosaccharides and polysaccharides). (Alberts, Walter, Bray, Hopkin, Johnson, & Lewis, 2015) There are four smaller organic molecule families which are the primary components of…

The Pierogi is a traditional Polish dinner dish consisting of crispy dumplings filled with a savory filling of potato, cheese, and other garnishes. The traditional recipe calls for simple ingredients and no fuss. Though actual preparation time and the cooking processes can be length, the pierogi itself is unassuming. In recent years, however, many people (Polish and non-Polish) have attempted to reconfigure the typical recipe to make it more exciting and even more delicious. Due to the…

confusing when there is fructose, corn syrup, and HFCS. There are differences between all three. Fructose is a natural sweetener typically found in fruits and vegetables. It is also in sucrose, which is table sugar, and HFCS. Corn syrup is made from corn starch after…

The carbohydrates which reacted with sodium iodine were starch and glycogen. Evidence of a reaction was present as a color change in the solution appeared immediately after the sodium iodine was dropped into the different carbohydrates. 2. The structure of starch, cellulose, and glycogen is that they three are all polysaccharides. All polysaccharides are very long, have many separate branches, and take a chain…

“How Corn Conquered America” I. The main idea of the “introduction” is: corn is the cornerstone of many American’s diet, managing to become the most widely planted crop in America. One fact or example that supports the main idea is about 40 percent of Mexicans calories come directly from corn, mostly in the form of tortillas. Yet Americans have more corn in their diet diet than Mexicans. Another fact or example that supports the main point is that there are some 45,000 items in the average…

Introduction The experiment will be working with diffusion and osmosis; it will test if the starch will travel through the semi permeable membrane (dialysis tube) causing osmosis. Diffusion is when a substance is highly concentrated turns into a lower concentration, and is evenly distributed throughout. An example of diffusion is when you cook and the smell of food flows until it in dynamic equilibrium; which is the even distribution of the substance. Osmosis is the movement through a semi…

aseptic technique that was performed. When the tube was inoculated the needle might have been too hot, which might’ve killed the bacteria, to cause it to be non-motile. The starch hydrolysis test was observed to be negative. However, brown stated that the test for Bacillus subtilis should come out positive. When the starch plate was observed, there was a lot of growth, and there was only a small circle that was hydrolyzed in the middle of the plate.…

French fries, Hash browns, Vodka, these are just some of the fantastic uses for potatoes. The Potato is a fantastic starch and a very versatile vegetable. Where did they come from? Where are they Grown? How do we store and eat them? These are just some topics I will be discussing in this paper. Staring with the history we will find where and when the first potatoes had been farmed and cultivated. The history of the potato begins in the high Andes Mountains of South America at elevations often…
