- Describe briefly the food test experiments you did.

The starch test 

Purpose: which food doesn’t have starch : bread, potato, orange, or apple?

Tools: plates, potato, orange, apple, IODINE SOLUTION, a dropper 

In conclusion we saw that the food with the least starch is orange because the iodine solution didn’t sink in and change color on the other hand apples, potato and bread did sink in and change colors.

Water molecules

Describe the water molecule: A water molecule consists of 2 hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom, and its overall structure is bent.                                                The properties of water                           Water is  cohesive  because water molecules stick together. Water is adhesive because water molecules tend to attract to other  substances. Water has high surface tension because water is extremely cohesive, and it is difficult to break the surface of water. Water is good at capillary action because its cohesive and adhesive. Water has high heat capacity because the amount of heat energy required to increase water's temperature is relatively high.               Ice is less dense than liquid water because water expands slig...

Lipids

  Lipids Fatty acids and Glycerol are the monomers for lipids  Lipids are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, and in some cases contain phosphorus, nitrogen sulfur, and other elements. Types of lipids: Triglycerides They are the main form of lipids in plants and animals Example: Avocado, oil, meat, nuts, butter, and etc.. Phospholipids Example: Cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer Waxes Example: Beeswax, earwax, and cuticle of leaf Steroids  Example: Cholesterol, Hormones, And Vitamins     Lipids are important in the diet because they are energy sources and as sources of fatty acids. They also serve as structural components of cell membranes. 20-35% of our food intake should be from lipids Lab Report test station 4:  For this experiment we wanted to see which food has the most amount of lipids, so we had 4 test tubes and in test tube 1 we put 10 drops of water, in test tube 2 we put 10 drops of milk, in test tube 3 we put 10 drops of soda, an...

Carbohydrates

 Carbohydrates  Hydrocarbons • Compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons. • Carbon often forms nonpolar covalent bonds with hydrogen. • We often use hydrocarbons in our daily life as fuels: Propane in a gas grill- Butane in a lighter are both hydrocarbons. • Methane (CH4) , the simplest hydrocarbon molecule, consists of a central carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms. What are Carbohydrates? • Carbohydrates are organic compounds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. • The general chemical formula of Carbohydrates is (CH2O)n or CnH2nOn • Carbohydrates have a ring like structure. • Most carbohydrates are hydrophilic and soluble in water. • Carbohydrates are found in living tissues and foods in the form of starch, cellulose, and sugars. Carbohydrates Functions 1. Carbohydrates are used as a short-term energy source. Cells break down carbohydrates (glucose) to produce ATP energy molecules quickly. 2. Carbohydrates provide structural support to cells. Th...
