2 You Are What You Eat Learning Goals Student Learning Goals: Students will understand the basic structures and functions of the four classes of macromolecules. Students will understand that most macromolecules are polymers. Students will understand how hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis reactions relate to macromolecules. Students will understand that nearly all food is derived from organisms, and therefore is made up of cells. Students will understand that cells contain carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins. Students will understand that the presence of macromolecules in cells can be detected with simple chemical tests. Student Learning Objectives: Students will relate the cycling of nutrients in the biosphere to the cycling of nutrients within organisms as macromolecules are broken down and synthesized. Students will prepare positive and negative controls for the tests that determine the presence of each of four macromolecules in two different solutions. Scientific Inquiry Skills: Students will design and conduct scientific investigations. Students will make measurements and record data. Students will compare their results to those of the control and to their predictions. Students will follow laboratory safety rules and regulations. Laboratory Technical Skills: Students will demonstrate proper use of micropipettes. 2
3 You Are What You Eat Instructor Planning Guide There are two approaches to this lab depending on your students and availability of lab space. The first option is to work through the manipulation of the models for all the macromolecules and then move onto the testing of the samples. The second option is to work with the models for one macromolecule and do the testing of the sample for that macromolecule before moving onto the second macromolecule. Experimental Timing Tips: From start to finish this lab takes approximately 120 minutes. However, there are many good stopping points in this protocol that make it possible to complete the lab in a series of minute periods. We recommend that pre-lab discussion and any demonstrations of the procedures take place the day before the lab. Testing for each macromolecule should take minutes, depending on the sample The first macromolecule generally takes longer than the others since the students are learning how to manipulate the models and set up the testing. Specialized Equipment: p200 micropipettes (or graduated disposable pipettes) hot plate or microwave UV or blue LED light Ordering information: Indicators, glucose (dextrose) and BSA samples were ordered from Fisher Scientific. Oil and spray starch were purchased at the grocery store. The nucleic acid is lambda DNA and can be ordered from New England BioLabs (at no cost) by going to their website ( A calculation tool for ordering NEB Reagents for this lab can be found on the final page of this document. Procedure Tips: 1. Before starting the experiment, ask students to check their materials list to make sure they have everything they will need for that part of the experiment. 2. Make sure students understand safety procedures and know the location of safety equipment. 3. Make sure students know how to use the transfer pipettes to measure the specific volumes. A black line drawing of the pipette with the graduations is a helpful tool for students to have as a reference (see Appendix 1). 4. Each type of macromolecule is tested separately so the lab procedure can easily be spread over several days. However, the lab can be completed in one long block. 3
4 5. The water for Benedict s testing does not have to be boiling. Just make sure it is at least 90 C. It can be dispensed to the students in the 250 ml beakers. 6. The amount of reagent listed in the set-up is for 15 lab groups. If running this lab with multiple classes, you might want to increase the amounts so you don t have to refill the containers. 7. Iodine should be stored in light blocking bottles or in the dark. 8. Keep in mind that the DNA concentration is listed as g or micrograms for the concentrated DNA and ng or nanograms for the diluted DNA. 9. Make sure students understand that they are looking for the color change of the indicator. Teaching Tips: Alternate working with models of each type of macromolecule with testing the macromolecule. For example, have students manipulate models of the carbohydrates and then do the testing. If using this approach, the lab can be spread over several days. Modeling Organic Molecules ( ) walks students through an exploration of macromolecules using Cell Zone Molecular Puzzles ( ). Once students have learned how to set up the tests and seen the results from the standards they could test some unknowns such as egg white (protein), apple juice (glucose), potato (starch), melted butter (lipid). Safety Considerations: Gloves, lab coats and eye protection should be used whenever possible as part of good laboratory practice. Practice sterile techniques whenever possible, to avoid contamination of reagents. Exercise caution when heating or distributing the hot water. Exercise caution when working with electrical equipment. Always wash hands thoroughly after handling biological materials or reagents. Obtain the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) available from the suppliers, and follow all safety precautions and disposal directions as described in the MSDS. Check with your school s lab safety coordinator about proper disposal of all reagents and solutions containing DNA stains. 4
5 You Are What You Eat Instructor Preparation Guide Materials: This guide assumes 30 students, working in groups of two, for a total of 15 groups. Materials for Advanced Teacher Preparation: 0.2 g BSA (Fisher Catalog # ) 2 g glucose (dextrose) (Fisher Catalog #S25295B) 5 g cornstarch spray starch 45 ml vegetable oil 1 tube lambda DNA at 500 g/ml (NEB# N3011S) 1 tube will have 250 g DNA in 500 L solution 45 ml Benedict s solution (Fisher Catalog #S25193A) 45 ml Biruet solution (Fisher Catalog #S25200B) 45 ml Lugol s solution (iodine) (Fisher Catalog #IS5502) 45 ml Sudan IV solution (Fisher Catalog #S25592) 20 L GelGreen solution (10,000X) (Fisher Catalog #EC1995) 350 ml distilled water ml graduated cylinder 1 p20 micropipette and tips 1 p200 micropipette and tips 1 p1000 micropipette and tips 1 10 ml graduated pipette or graduated cylinders ml flasks or bottles ml conical tubes or small bottles with caps ml amber conical tubes or small bottles with caps (Fisher Catalog # ) 35 microcentrifuge tubes (1.5 ml or 2.0 ml) 3-5 conical tube racks (optional) 1 microcentrifuge tube racks 1 permanent marker 1 balance Caution: Lugol s solution (iodine) is light sensitive and should be stored in amber container. Caution: GelGreen is light sensitive and should be stored in the dark 5
6 Student Workstation: Common Workstation: 3 ml Biuret solution Microwave or hot plate 3 ml Benedict s solution UV or blue light 3 ml Lugol s solution 600 ml beaker of water 3 ml Sudan IV solution 60 μl GelGreen solution (1X) 3 ml BSA solution (2 mg/ml) 3 ml glucose solution (2%) 3 ml Starch solution (5%) 3 ml vegetable oil 30 μl lambda DNA (200 ng/ μl) 20 ml distilled H 2O 1 p200 micropipette and tips 10 1 ml graduate pipettes 2 microcentrifuge tubes (1.5 ml or 2.0 ml) 8 test tubes 1 test tube rack 1 microcentrifuge rack 1 test tube holder ml beaker 1 permanent marker 1 waste container Easy Substitutions: Purchase salmon sperm DNA (Fisher Scientific NC ). The DNA (20 mg) comes lyophilized and looks like a wad of cotton. Resuspend in 20 ml of sterile water or TE. It will take a while to go into solution you might have to vortex it. Once resuspended, aliquot 1 ml into 20 sterile microcentrifuge tubes. Store at -20 C until needed. At -20 C it will have an almost indefinite shelf life. Depending on the size of your school this should last several years. Spray starch is an easy alternative to mixing up a starch solution. Two or three squirts into 200 ml of water should be sufficient. Also cornstarch dissolves in water more readily than soluble starch. Egg white can be substituted for BSA. Set-up Calendar: 2 weeks before lab Check supplies and order any needed materials. If making any substitutions to the supply list, edit the student protocol accordingly. 1 day before lab Set up student lab stations with all durable materials according the materials listed above. 6

9 You Are What You Eat Answers to Student Questions Protocol-Embedded: p3. Lactose is C 12H 22O 11 p4. Answer will vary but may include: Proteins act enzymes, as antibodies, as structural components, for cell signaling p4. cellulose is a carbohydrate (polysaccharide) p5. water and lipids don t mix because lipids are nonpolar so they don t dissolve in water or watery solution Pre-Lab: 1. carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids 2. omelet with black beans and cheese all of these foods are good sources of protein. Bread is primarily a carbohydrate, butter is primarily a lipid, and jam is primarily made up of carbohydrates. 3. Carbons-6; hydrogens- 12; oxygens-6 Glucose (monosaccharide) Dehydration synthesis 5. 1 a; 2 e; 3 b; 4 c; 5 d. Post-Lab and Analysis: 1. Starch because the iodine changed to black, protein because the Biuret changed to purple. There is not any DNA or glucose since neither indicator changed colors. 2. Strawberries are made up of cells, and all cells are surrounded by a phospholipid bilayer (cell membrane). So, strawberries definitely contain lipids! 9

Draw evidence from informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research. Make strategic use of digital media (e.g., textual, graphical, audio, visual, and interactive elements) in presentations to enhance understanding of findings, reasoning, and evidence and to add interest. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Model with mathematics. Write a function that describes a relationship between two quantities. Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand in simple cases and using technology for more complicated cases. Use units as a way to understand problems and to guide the solution of multi-step problems; choose and interpret units consistently in formulas; choose and interpret the scale and the origin in graphs and data displays. Define appropriate quantities for the purpose of descriptive modeling. Choose a level of accuracy appropriate to limitations on measurement when reporting quantities. Understand statistics as a process for making inferences about population parameters based on a random sample from that population. Evaluate reports based on data. 11
