THE CHEMICAL BASIS OF LIFE: Identification of Biomolecules
Name: _________________________________ Date: ______________
Section: ________________________________ Score: _____________
Lab Materials and Equipments: Beaker, dropper, Test tubes, Test tube clamp, alcohol
lamp, (Bunsen burner tripod stand and gauze if available), sticker paper for labeling,
paper towel, brown paper bag, distilled water, Benedict’s solution, Lugol’s iodine, Biuret
reagent, glucose solution (10% glucose), starch solution (from corn or potato), oil
(vegetable oil), protein solution, and egg white.
Reminder: Follow appropriate Lab Rules and Safety Precautions when doing the
following activities.
Lab Activity:
Almost all of the food we eat comes from plants and animals. Plants and animals
contain mainly water (inorganic) and organic compounds, which are molecules made by
living organisms such as plants or animals.
The table below lists the most common types of organic compounds found in
living organisms. For each type of organic compound, give two examples of food you
would find it in and describe one characteristic, e.g. whether it is greasy, whether it
contains genetic material.
Carbohydrates
Lipids

Proteins material
4|P age
Anatomy and Physiology
You will be testing the substances listed below. Predict whether each substance
is an organic compound and if so, identify the type.
1. If a food that contains lipids is put on brown paper, it will leave a spot that lets
light through.
2. To test for lipids, divide a piece of a brown paper bag into 5 sections. Label
the sections "vegetable oil", "glucose", "starch", "egg whites", and ―water‖.
3. In each section, rub a small amount of the substance onto the brown paper.
4. With a paper towel, rub off any excess that may stick to the paper. Set the
paper aside until the spots appear dry—about 10 to 15 minutes.
5. Continue on with the rest of the tests while waiting for the paper to dry.
Note: After all the sections of the brown paper are dry, hold it up to a bright
light or window. You will notice that at least one sample has left a spot that
lets light through on the brown paper. The spot indicates the presence of
lipids.
6. Complete the last column of the data table provided below. Put a plus (+) for
any samples which tested positive for lipids and a minus (-) for the samples
which tested negative.

i. Testing for starch
1. Iodine is the indicator for starch. In the presence of starch, iodine will
change color from yellow-brown to blue-black. CAUTION: Be careful when
handling iodine; it can stain hands and clothing.
2. Obtain 5 clean small test tubes and use sticker paper to make labels for
each container. Label the containers "vegetable oil", "glucose", "starch",
"egg whites", and ―water‖.
3. Put 1 ml of each of the substances in the test tubes.
4. To each test tube, add 2 drops of the iodine indicator (I2KI).
5. Stir the contents of each test tube by rolling it between your palms.
6. In the data table provided below, record the color of the iodine solutions.
Put a plus (+) next to those samples testing positive for starch and a minus
(-) for those testing negative.
7. Rinse all the materials down the sink, but keep the labels on the test
tubes.
1. To test for protein you will use Biuret reagent as an indicator. Biuret
reagent turns from blue to purple in the presence of protein.
2. CAUTION: Biuret reagent contains sodium hydroxide, a strong base. Be
very careful not to splash or spill any. If you splash any reagent on
yourself, wash it off immediately with water. Call your instructor for
assistance.
3. Again, rinse VERY WELL your five clean test tubes labeled "vegetable oil",
"glucose", "starch", "egg whites", and ―water‖.
6|P age

Lab Materials and Equipments: Microscope, Glass microscope slides, Plastic cover
slips, Paper towels or tissue, 10% Methylene Blue stain, Plastic pipette or dropper,
toothpick, soap and water, and crayons or any coloring pens.
Lab Activity: The cells which line the inside of your cheeks are classified as a stratified
squamous epithelium tissue and are the surface of a mucous membrane. These flat,
scale-like buccal cells are shed constantly as the tissue is renewed. By gently scraping
the inside of your cheek, these cells can be harvested, and when smeared and stained,
may be used to illustrate a number of important biological phenomena including cell and
tissue structure, oral bacterial flora and morphology, etc. This tissue is non-keratinized
and therefore the surface cells are living and still possess their nuclei, in contrast with
shed epidermal cells.
In this activity, you will prepare a buccal smear by removing some of the cells
(cells that line the inside of your cheeks) from the superficial layer of squamous
epithelial cells and examine it under a light microscope; The cells will be ―disrupted‖
from the ―sheet of cells‖; and thus, once stained, visible as separate and single cells.
PREPARATION AND STAINING OF A BUCCAL SMEAR:
Prepare specimens as follows:
1. Using a dropper, put a small drop of distilled water in the center of a clean
microscope slide.
2. Gently and lightly scrape the inner lining of your cheek with the broad end of a
toothpick.
3. Stir the toothpick vigorously in the drop of water on the slide, and then dispose
the toothpick properly.
4. Cover the slide with a clean cover slip lowered at an angle to minimize the
formation of air bubbles between the specimen and the cover slip. If there is too
much liquid on the slide, blot the excess from the edges of the cover slip using
absorbent paper towel.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for a second specimen, but this time before covering it with
cover slip; add a drop of Methylene blue stain to the water-cheek-cell suspension
on the slide.
Note: Methylene blue stains negatively charged molecules in the cell, including
DNA and RNA. This dye is toxic when ingested and it causes irritation when in
contact with the skin and eyes.

first the low power with 4x objective lens, before moving to the higher 10x and
40x objective lenses.
7. In the space provided below, draw the typical appearance of a cheek cell, as
observed at high magnification for both the unstained and stained smear.
8. On each of your drawings, accurately identify and label the following: 1) nucleus,
2) nucleolus, 3) cytoplasm 4) cell boundary and 5) the variety of bacteria
colonizing the surface of the cells. If you can identify other structures on your
prepared slide, draw and label it accordingly, you will have additional 5 bonus
points.
CLEAN-UP
When finished, scrub the slides well in warm soapy water, rinse well, drain dry in a plastic test tube holder,
and return to its proper storage.

Observing the Effects of Hyperinsulinism
Many people with diabetes mellitus need injections of insulin to maintain blood sugar
[glucose] homeostasis. Adequate levels of blood glucose are essential for proper functioning of
the nervous system; thus, insulin administration must be carefully controlled. If blood glucose
levels fall sharply, the patient will go into insulin shock.
A small fish will be used to demonstrate the effects of hyperinsulinism. Because the
action of insulin on the fish parallels that in the human, this experiment should provide valid
information concerning its effect in humans.
Procedure:
1. Prepare 2 finger bowls. Using a wax marker, mark one A and the other B. To finger bowl A,
add 100 ml of the commercial insulin solution. To finger bowl B, add 200 ml of 20% glucose
solution.
2. Place a small fish in finger bowl A, and observe its actions carefully as the insulin diffuses into
its bloodstream through the capillary circulation of its gills.
Approximately how long did it take for the fish to become comatose?
____________________________________________________________________________
What types of activity did you observe in the fish before it became comatose?
____________________________________________________________________________
When the fish is comatose, carefully transfer it to finger bowl B and observe its actions. What

Examining the effect of local Chemical and Physical Factors on Skin Color
The local blood supply to the skin ( indeed to any tissue) is influence by (1) local metabolites,
(2) the oxygen supply, (3) local temperature, and (4) substances released by injured tissue to
name a few. Three of these factors are examined in the simple experiments that follow. Each
85 | P a g e
Anatomy and Physiology
experiment should be conducted by students in groups of three or four. One student will act as a
subject; the others will conduct the tests and make and record observations .
D. Vasodilation and flushing of the skin due to Lack of Oxygen
1. Obtain a blood pressure cuff (sphygmomanometer) and stethoscope. You will also need
a watch with a second hand.
2. The subjects should roll up the sleeves as high as possible and then lay the forearms
side by side on the bench top.
3. Observe the general color of the subject’s forearm skin, and the normal contour and size
of the veins. Notice whether skin color is similar bilaterally. Record your observations.
4. Apply the blood pressure cuff to one arm, and inflate it to 250 mmHg. Keep it inflated for
1 min. During this period, repeat the observations made above and record the results.
5. Release the pressure in the cuff (leaving the deflated cuff in position), and again record
the forearm skin color and the condition of the forearm veins. Make this observation
immediately after deflating and then again 30 seconds later.
Immediately after deflating: ________________________________________
30 minutes after: _________________________________________________
The above observations constitute your baseline information. Now conduct the following
tests.
6. Instruct the subject to raise the cuffed arm above his or her head and to clench the fist as
tightly as possible. While the hand and forearm muscles are tightly contracted, rapidly
inflate the cuff to 240 mm Hg or more. This maneuver partially empties the hand and
forearm of blood and stops most blood flow to the hand and forearm. Once the cuff has
been inflated, the subject is to relax the fist and return the forearm to the bench top so it
can be compared to the other forearm.
Leave the inflated cuff for exactly 1 min. During this interval, compare the skin color in the
―ischemic‖ (blood deprived) hand to that of normal (non-cuffed-limb) hand. After 1 minute,
quickly release the pressure.
What are the subjective effects of stopping blood to arm and hand for 1 min?

MEASURING THE RESPIRATORY VOLUMES
Procedure:
1. Before using the spirometer, count and record the subject’s normal respiratory rate.
2. Work in pairs, with one person acting as the subject while the other records the
volume measured. The subject should stand up straight during testing. Note: Reset the
indicator to zero before beginning each trial. Examine the spirometer volume indicator
before beginning to make sure you know how to read the scale.
3. Obtain a disposable cardboard mouthpiece. Insert it in the open end of the valve
assembly or over the fixed stem of the handheld dry spirometer. Before beginning, the
subject should practice exhaling through the mouthpiece without exhaling through the
nose, or prepare to use the nose clips (clean them first with an alcohol swab).
4. Ensure the subject stands erect during testing. Run the test 3 times for each required
measurement. Record the data and then find the average volume (ml) figure for that
measurement. After you have completed the trials and figured the averages, enter the
average values on the table below.

2. Collect 1 ml of saliva in the 10 ml graduate cylinder provided (don’t count foam).
3. Take 8 of the test tubes at your counter and label each as below:
2 – 0º C
2 – 37º C = Experimental Tubes
2 – 100º C
2 – C = Control Tubes
4. Gently shake the bottle of starch then place 2 ml of starch and 1 ml of DI water in one
of the control tubes and 3 ml of DI (Deionized) water in the other using the plastic
disposable pipettes, add 5 drops of Iodine (IKI) solution to both tubes and note the
reactions:
Iodine (Lugols) is an indicator for the presence of starch. Iodine is normally a
yellowish –orange liquid. When added to the tube with water this should be the color
you see, ie. No reaction. When starch is present and iodine is added, the solution will
turn dark blue to black, this is a positive test for starch. Save these control tubes for
comparison to your experimental tubes at the end of the experiment.
5. Dilute the saliva mixture in the graduate cylinder by adding DI water up to the 10 ml
line. Swirl to mix.
6. Use a clean disposable plastic pipette to add 1 ml of the saliva mixture to each of the
6 experimental test tubes.
7. Place the tubes at the designated temperatures as labeled: 2 in the ice; 2 in the 37º
water bath, and 2 in the beaker of boiling water (use test tube clamps) at your
counter. Allow all tubes to incubate about 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, add 2 ml of
starch solution (when the dropper in the starch bottle is half full it contains about 1
ml) to each of the 6 test tubes being incubated at the three temperatures (do not
remove them from the temperatures) and note the time. Gently swirl each tube after
adding the starch.
8. Continue to incubate tubes at their designated temperatures for exactly 2 minutes.

Kidney Filtration
The kidneys function to filter the blood in the body, removing waste, therefore
cleansing the blood. In this experiment, the dialysis bag will act as a part of the
kidney. When the solution containing the Congo Red, Yellow Food Coloring and
Water is made, this symbolizes blood as it is entering the kidney via the renal artery .
As the experiment progresses, notice the filtration occurring with the kidney (dialysis
tubing) and the resulting substances.
Materials
1 ft Dialysis Tubing Small Rubber Band
Pipette 3ml Congo Red
3ml Yellow Food Coloring 2) 250 ml beaker
10 ml Graduated Cylinder water
Procedure
Begin by placing a small rubber band around the bottom of the dialysis tubing to
close it off. Wrap the rubber band as many times as possible. Test that the dialysis
tubing will not leak out of the bottom by placing a few drops of water into the tubing.
If it leaks out the bottom, the rubber band has not been fastened tight enough. If it
does not leak, pour the water out of the tubing into the sink. Set the tubing aside.
2. Grab one 250 ml beaker and fill it with 200 ml of water. Set this aside for now.
3. With the 10 ml graduated cylinder, measure out 3 ml of Congo Red. Pour it into
the empty 250 ml Beaker. Wash out the cylinder.
4. With the 10 ml graduated cylinder, measure out 3 ml of Yellow Food Coloring.
Pour it into the same 250 ml beaker as you poured the Congo Red. Wash out the
cylinder.
5. With the 10 ml graduated cylinder, measure out 5 ml of water. Pour the water into
the same 250 ml beaker that contains the Congo Red and Yellow Food Coloring.
6. Now, take a pipette and mix the solutions in the 250 ml beaker. To do this, place
the pipette in the solution and squeeze and release the bulb of the pipette while
moving the pipette throughout the solution.
7. Once the solution has been thoroughly mixed, pipette 10 ml into the dialysis
tubing. Fill out Table A below indicating whether the solution was present before the
experiment.
