Q

How can you identify a carbohydrate

A

Take the number of oxygen and multiply it by 2, that will tell the number of hydrogens, and also tend to form a ring shape

22
Q

How can you identify a lipid

A

23
Q

What are two tests you can run for lipids

A

Brown paper bag and solubility

24
What does a positive solubility look like
Two layers-lipids do not mix with water
25
What does a negative solubility look like
1 layer- it mixes with other solution
26
What does a positive solubility test mean
It has lipids
27
What does a negative solubility test mean
There are no lipids
28
What does a positive test for paper bag look like
A stain never dies
29
What does a negative paper bag test look like
A spot that will dry
30
What does a positive paper bag mean
There are lipids
31
What does a negative paper bag mean
No lipids
32
What are the five ways your body uses proteins
Enzymes-speed up reactions Structure- makes up nails Transport- transports important nutrients through your body Defense-protects body from diseases Hormones- sending signals
33
What are the elements in a protein
C, O, H, N
34
What are the building blocks of protein
Amino acids
35
How can you spot an amino acid

45
What are the three test papers we used to determine if something was an acid or a base
Red and blue litmus paper and hydrion
46
What does red litmus change for
Base
47
What did blue switch for

48
What does the hydrion paper show
How acidic or how basic something is
49
What does the number in front of the molecules mean
The amount of molecules present
50
What is a hydrogen bond
A weak bond formed between water molecules because of slight charges
