Overview
1.
Biochemistry Research project
Write a project about protein and lipids.
Start your research project with your name and the title of the project
Explain
Start to explain what are lipids, lipids structure, and difference source of lipids ( from animal or vegetable). You continue to write how lipid benefit use or impact negatively our health.
How our imbalance lifestyle in regard to protein and lipids as dietary impact our health.
No more than 6 pages.
You need to write 3 pages on each topic below:
-Introduction to lipids and the lipids impact on human health
-Introduction to proteins and the protein impact on human health
You can search for material in , internet, or any other source to find material. Each student writes the research project on the two topics below:
Note: The topics below are examples of subjects you may work on,
you are not limited. You are also welcome to write about additional
material related to the topic protein and lipids’ impact at human
health.
Project A:
Cardiovascular disease related to dietary Lipids such as VLDL, LDL
and HDL-Maximum of 3 pages
At Project A, you can use the list below as hint to write your project
-Our life style impact on our health: what we eat, how much we eat
and how much exercise impact our health
-Bad and good fat
-What are VLDL, LDL and HDL?
-How do VLDL, LDL and HDL function in our body
-Discuss some diseases such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular
diseases which directly related to our lifestyle
-How we can change our lifestyle to improve our health by reducing the
risk factors, for examples
risk factors behind cardiovascular disease.
Diabetics
High blood pressure
Lecture video in lipids, you may use those:
Fatty acids:
LDL, VLDL, HDL:

Project 2
How is the impact of dietary protein in our health?
What is protein, building blocks, why we need to eat
protein, too much protein or too less protein impact on
human health?
You can use any source of learning material to study to
for writing your project.
In the link below, there are many short lecture video, you
can watch and read to write your project
Material: Internet, books, journals, you choose
Try to use picture, graphs, embedded in your text
1-The impact of dietary protein at human health:
2-Introduction to protein building block: 20 different
Amino acids:

-Protein
Explain also how the color of the reagent change.
3.
Acid base titration lab
Titration experimental demo: watch the video link attached here or any other learning material
and write your lab report
Prelab questions: Answer to following questions:
1-What is the safety aspect of acid base titration experiment?
2-Explain with your own word how the acid base titration works:
3-What is the end point in the titration
4-What is the equivalent point in a titration?
4-How do you select a pH indicator for your titration experiment?
5-What is titrant?
6-What is analyte?
7-What is pH of the solution?
