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:

• 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
