Learning Objectives

  • Write hypothesis statements based on knowledge of biological principles
  • Identify experimental variables such as the independent, dependent and control variables
  • Distinguish between qualitative and quantitative data
  • Determine the presence of amino acids, proteins, glucose, and starch using indicator solutions
  • Discuss how different biological molecules interact with distinct chemical test reagents
  • Discuss the functional aspects of different chemical functional groups in biological molecules
  • Recognize and identify chemical function groups in biological molecules

Conducting Experiments

The foundation of science knowledge is based on experimentation. Experiments are carefully designed to assure that results can be clearly interpreted. In conducting experiments, it is extremely important that all variables be very precisely defined, measured and controlled. In the laboratory experiments in this course, you will need to identify, measure and control specific variables like a scientist would do.

The first step of an experiment is to come up with a question based on an observation. For example, you might ask “Does the amount of nitrogen in the soil in my garden have an impact on the number of tomatoes on the vine?”. You would then develop a testable hypothesis statement. For example, “I hypothesize that the number of tomatoes in my garden will be low when the content of nitrogen in the soil is low.”

Independent variable

You will set the value of this variable (for example, the amount of nitrogen in the soil) it can be set to different values (for example, nitrogen levels could be low, medium, and high).

Dependent variable

The value of the variable will vary depending the value of the independent variable (for example, the number of tomatoes on the vine will be high when the amount of nitrogen is medium, but the number of tomatoes on the vine will be low when the amount of nitrogen is low and high). The value of this variable is the main experimental result. As part of a hypothesis statement, you would state how the independent variable will impact the dependent variable.

Control variable

You will set these values so that they do not change. By keeping these variables constant, you assure that they do not impact either the independent variable or the dependent variable (for example, if you set up three different test gardens for low, medium and high nitrogen soil levels, you will want to make sure that all three gardens receive the same amount of water and sunlight. In this case, water and sunlight would be the variables that you control.).

Experimental results

Experimental results can be either qualitative or quantitative. In the example above, the experimental result is quantitative because you can count the number of tomatoes; that is, you can quantify the result. If, for example, we defined the dependent variable as the appearance of blotches on the tomatoes then this could be regarded as a qualitative result because we are not quantifying the number of blotches nor the number of tomatoes with blotches. We are simply checking for the presence of blotches. Essentially, we are evaluating the quality of the result.

Biological Molecules

All matter is made of atoms; thus, living beings are also made of atoms and we speak of the chemistry of life. An examination of the periodic table of elements reminds us that chemical elements in certain groups on the left side of the periodic table interact with certain other elements on the right side of the periodic table; for example, sodium chloride NaCl (salt).

Interaction of the elements that form the basis of living organisms is also important. Biological molecules form the basis for the organelles, cells, tissues and organs and interact with elements and other biological molecules through arrangements of elements called functional groups. See the image below of a biomolecule with representative amino and carboxyl functional groups. Note that “R” represents a group of atoms attached to the functional groups; the R group is referred to as a “side chain.”

Sugars (saccharides) have hydroxyl functional groups and aldehyde functional groups. These aldehyde group of saccharides interacts with chemicals in a test solution called Benedict reagent. This test results in a change in color when a specific kind of sugar (called a reducing sugar) is present. Monosaccharides, such as glucose and fructose, are reducing sugars.

Proteins are composed of polymers of amino acids called peptides. There can be many amine/amino functional groups in proteins. These groups interact with chemicals in a test solution called Biuret Test reagent. Note that some peptides function as long-strand molecules rather than as proteins. The amino groups in long strands of peptides can also interact with chemicals in the Biuret Test solution.

Nutritionally speaking, we categorize the macromolecules as carbohydrates (sugars), lipids (fats), and proteins.

Note: Benedict and Biuret testing solutions are mentioned above only as examples. You will in fact use entirely different testing solutions for your lab work.

Orientation to the Biomolecules Lab Activities

Procedure I Overview

Group 1: Known Sample Solutions – In this procedure you will observe the reaction (color change) when different test solutions are added to a set of known sample solutions. This information will be used in the next procedure to determine the types of biomolecules present in a set of unknown sample solutions.

Procedure II Overview

Group 2: Unknown Sample Solutions – In this procedure you will observe the reaction (color change) when different test solutions are added to a set of unknown sample solutions. Using information from the previous procedure you will be able to identify the type of biomolecule present in each unknown sample solution.

Assignment 4: Automotive Production Levels

 

Due Week 10 and worth 440 points

 

For this assignment, choose a major publicly traded automotive producer, such as General Motors, Ford,

 

Toyota, or Volkswagen. Then, research this company’s production and inventory levels, and operational

 

cost information, along with price and sales data for the most recent quarter available.

 

Write a seven to nine (7-9) page paper in which you:

 

1. Create a demand supply analysis based on the data you collected on your chosen company’s

 

price and sales, which demonstrates the relationship between price and quantity demanded.

 

2. Determine the equilibrium price and quantity and explain its meaning to your chosen company.

 

Indicate how your chosen company’s management should use this information to make sound

 

strategic decisions.

 

3. Calculate the elasticity of demand for your chosen company’s automobiles (or choose a specific

 

make / model). Interpret what the demand tells your chosen company’s management team.

 

4. Speculate what may happen to your chosen company’s specifically if the elasticity of demand

 

calculated above represented a competitor of your choice instead. Provide support for your

 

response.

 

5. Create a cost analysis and graph. Include total cost, total variable cost, marginal cost, and fixed

 

costs, along with any other costs you believe are valuable to the cost analysis.

 

6. Create a total revenue schedule, marginal revenue schedule, and a graph representing both.

 

Interpret what the graph tells your chosen company’s management team.

 

7. Determine the profit maximizing level of output by assessing the actions your chosen company

 

should take if it is to continue to maximize profits.

 

8. Assume your chosen company wants to expand its operations which involve capital budget

 

decisions. Recommend two (2) different and appropriate cost-related tools. Provide support for

 

your recommendation.

 

9. Now, assume your chosen company wants to expand its operations globally into a new market.

 

Suggest two (2) strategies the firm should consider. Provide support for your suggestions.

 

10. Use at least three (3) high-quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and

 

other Websites do not qualify as academic resources

 

 

 

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

 

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all

 

sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your

 

professor for any additional instructions.

 

• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s

 

name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in

 

the required assignment page length.

 

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

 

• Evaluate the profit-maximizing price and output level for given operating costs for monopolies and

 

firms in competitive industries.

 

• Propose how differences in demand and elasticity lead managers to develop various pricing

 

strategies.

 

• Apply the concept of how changes in the macro environment affect individual firms and industries

 

through the microeconomic factors of demand, production, cost, and profitability.
