Lab Report Organic Compounds

Organic compound is the compound that contains carbon inside.


Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids are examples of organic
compounds. These four organic compounds also use in human body, but
perform in different function for each one. Carbohydrates are the source of
energy for our body. The proteins are organic compound that perform many
functions in the body including structure and regulation of the body organs
and tissues. The lipids are the long term energy usage source and acting
like an insulator to the body, too. Lastly, the nucleic acids are the molecules
that make up DNA and RNA in our body. There is a substance that can be
used to test the presence of the organic compound (Organic compounds
article, page 42). Some different organic compounds can use the same
type of indicator to test the presence of it, but some need to use specific
indicator that can be used to test only that compound(Organic compounds
article, page 42). If the right indicator is being used to test the right organic
compound, the color of the substance will be change (Organic compounds,
page 42).

In this lab, we will be testing the presence of carbohydrate, protein,


and lipid in the substances that provide by the teacher. If the color of the
substance is change when we drop the indicator, then there are the organic
compounds contain inside that substance. Each color refer to different
organic compounds.
