Calorimetry experiment
A great simple experiment to illustrate the energy content of these two organic molecules used for energy storage. Students carry out a calorific test on lipids and carbohydrates. They use visualisations from jmol of the structure of cellulose and starch (amylose & amylopectin) and glycogen to answer questions about the experiment's results and how each molecule relates to its function. How many different types or...
