Deconstruct a Peptide Molecule . Simulating enzymatic hydrolysis reactions, progressively add water molecules to a peptide to remove its individual amino acids building block components. The instructor will help direct this simulation. Build a Starch Molecule . Each student group should quickly construct a glucose sugar molecule as you did during the previous lab.
Cells can then assemble glucose molecules into starch granules that are stored in the cells.
