Chemistry For Biology Ii

Practice basic biochemistry as it applies in biology.

In this kit, the major topics of biochemistry are illustrated for biology students. Dramatic color changes illustrate different types of carbohydrates. The kit uses Testape to test for glucose and iodine solution to test for starch. The enzyme amylase, found in saliva, breaks starch down into sugar. Students use a biuret reagent to test several substances for the presence of proteins.

The kit has material for 32 students working in groups of four. Labs can be repeated four times.
