Description
Biochemistry I:
- Introduce students to the chemistry of living things
- Features five classic biochemistry experiments
- Use Benedicts reagent, Biuret, Sudan IV, Iodine to test for proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids
- Use pepsin to digest protein
- Test the activity of salivary amylase (both in vitro and in vivo)
- Develop a technique for determining ascorbic acid concentration to use to evaluate Vitamin C levels
- Determine of the alkalinity of acidity of foods
- Ideal for students in biology, general science, nutritional science, or biochemistry
Biochemistry II:
- Includes an entire course worth of classic biochemistry experiments presented at a more in-depth level than Biochemistry I
- Learn how to measure the pH of foods, saliva, and soil
- Learn classic detection methods for sugars, starch, fat, and protein
- Pepsin digestion of protein
- Amino acid detection using ninhydrin
- Explore the effects of varying conditions on salivary amylase activity
- Model how digestion works
- Determine ascorbic acid concentration
- Explore dyes and plant pigments using chromatography with different solvents
- Ideal for supporting higher level biology, nutritional science, advanced general science, or biochemistry courses
