Q

Dehydration Synthesis (Condensation Synthesis)

A

how you get disaccharides and polysaccharides.

Two monomers bond together, and then water is released, (and then a covalent bond is formed)

Q

Polymer

A

Chain of monomers

18
Q

Lipids

A

all lipids are hydrophobic (afraid of water)

19
Q

Examples of lipids

A

fat, oil, wax, cholesterol, and steroids

20
Q

Saturated Fats

A

solid (at room temperature)

21
Q

Unsaturated Fats

A

liquid (at room temperature)

22
Q

Lipid test Reagent

A

Sudan IV (four) dye

Bright Red

23
Q

Lipid Emulsifier

24
Q

Benedict’s Test

A

testing to see if a solution contains “simple sugar” (reducing sugars)

Add reagent.
You also have to add third factor (heat) to drive the reaction.

You’ll get a color change if the simple sugar (Reducing sugars) are there

25
Reducing Sugars Reagent
Benedict's Reagent
26
Reducing Sugars Positive Outcome coloratin
+++ (large amount) burnt orange ++ (medium amount) yellow + (small amount) green
27
Starch Test Reagent
Iodine
28
Starch Test Positive Outcome coloration
Black
29
Protein Test Reagent
Biuret
30
Protein Test positive outcome coloration
Purple | bright purple=large amount
31
Protein test/ Biuret looking for bonds (peptide bonds) between amino acids to indicate there is an
entire molecule of amino acids present.
32
Protein test negative coloration
very light blue
33
Starch test negative coloration
orange/brown
34
Reducing sugars test negative coloration
blue
35
Water was used in all three sections of the lab as a
negative control | because water has no protein or sugar
36
Example of a monosaccharide
glucose
37
Example of a disaccharide
sucrose
38
Example of a polysaccharide
starch
39
Protein molecules have special bonds called
peptide bonds
40
Monosaccharides bond together in a process called
dehydration synthesis to make disaccharides and polysaccharides. During this process water is lost to create a covalent bond between monosaccharides.
