Reagents & Tests
This is a test for monosaccharides and disaccharides (glucose or maltose), it's common function is to detect reducing sugars. The solution used for the test is blue. A negative result for this test is blue, a positive result is green (slight sugar presence) then a red (big sugar presence).
What is Benedict's Test?
This fluid contains amino acids, sugars, vitamins, ions, fatty acids, hormones, urea and more
What is interstitial fluid?
These are simple sugar monomers that are found in carbs.
What are monosaccharides?
Red Blood cells also referred to as erythrocytes have the same _____ and osmotic pressure as blood plasma.
What is osmolality?
What is molality (m)?
moles of a solute
This test is for a polysaccharide (starch). The solution used reacts with the starch to produce a dark blue-black color which indicates a positive result. A yellow-brown solution is a negative result.
What is Lugol's Iodine Test?
These do require an energy input as ATP.
What are active processes?
This is used in animals for immediate energy through glycolysis.
What is glucose?
This is the term relating to cell shrinkage
What is crenation?
What is Molarity (M)?
This test detects 2+ peptide bonds. If peptide bonds are present a violet-pink color will appear. If free amino acids are present then a negative result will occur with a light blue color.
What is the Biuret Test?
These include diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration, and osmosis. They do NOT require energy/ATP.
What are passive processes?
These are two sugars linked together
What are disaccharides?
This term is related to cell rupture
What is hemolysis?
What is Osmolarity?
What is Molarity (M) x # of particles?
This is used to detect sodium chloride presence
What is silver nitrate?
This is a special form of diffusion where water moves across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
What is osmosis?
These are long chains of glucose molecules which form a polymer.
What are polysaccharides?
This is an indirect measurement of the solute concentration
What is osmotic pressure?
How do you find the amount of mOsm/L (miliosmoles)?
This test is used to test for sodium chloride, a formation of a white precipitate or cloudy nature indicates AgCl presence which occurs due to the reaction between silver nitrate and sodium chloride
What is reagents for an Inorganic Molecule (silver nitrate test)?
This is the passive process that forces water and solutes through a membrane or capillary by hydrostatic pressure.
What is filtration?
This is a highly branched chain of glucose.
What is glycogen?
As osmolality increases what also increases?
What is osmotic pressure?
This is a way to express the concentration of a solution and tells how many moles of solute in 1 liter of solution
What is Molarity (M)?
