Document Summary
Positive control: gives a positive result if the conditions were set properly. Negative control: gives a negative result if the conditions were set properly. Time points: variable should have a control for every time point including 0 (take measurements) Elements in abundance: c, h, o, n, s, p to make carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, protein. Plants: blue/black with starch which are glucose units linked by glycosidic bonds, mixture of amylose (unbranched, helical, glucose in alpha 1 4 linkages) and amylopectin (straight, branched sections from alpha 1 6 linkages) Animals: red/brown with glycogen, larger polymer counterpart, similar to amylopectin bur more branches. Simple sugar glucose stored in high molecular weight = polysaccharides. Reducing sugars exist as a ring or chain (aldehyde = aldose) Reducing sugar present if the blue solution develops a coloured precipitate (yellow/green/red/brown) 4cu+ + 2oh + 2e 2 cu2o + 2h + 2e.
