Chapter 9 : Biomolecules Flashcards

1
Q

How do we prepare a substance for anaylsis?

A

we take the sample and grind it with Cl3CCOH using a mortar. Out of which we get a thick slurry. When we strain it with a cheese cloth we obtain tow fraction one acid soluble and the other acid insoluble

Q

Why are lipids found in the macromoleular fraction?

A

because lipids in membranes after dissociating forms a bubble or vesicles which are not soluble and hence the lipids get into the insoluble fraction along with other macro colecules
