why biomacromolecule not found in acid soluble pool
Answers
Answer:
Now, let's take a living tissue. We grind the tissue in a solution of Trichloroacetic acid (CCl3COOH)
Note that this is an ACID.
Since the tissue was ground in this solution, the tissue has been broken down into various components. Some of the components will be soluble in the liquid acid solution, while others will not…
When this solution is filtered, the components soluble in the acid will pass through as the filtrate along with the acid, while the insoluble components will be left behind.
Let me give you an analogy. Suppose you make black tea . Now, you add sugar and tea leaves to it. The sugar will be soluble in the water component of the tea to quite a greater extent than tea leaves.
Now, when you filter the tea through a sieve, the tea leaves are left behind (acid insoluble components) and the sugar (acid soluble components) pass along with the water (Trichloroacetic acid)
The components which are soluble in Trichloroacetic acid, mainly micromolecules, except lipids pass through the filter.
The insoluble components aren't soluble in the acid. Macromolecules come under this category.
Note: Lipid is a micromolecule, but it remains insoluble because it forms globules
Answer:
Grinding tissue in trichloroaceticacid and filtering it gives residue as acid insoluble and filtrate as acid soluble. It is also found that mostly acid soluble pool consists of micromolecules and insoluble contains macro Molecules.
