To find out if we have mitochondria, we add DCPIP. The tube that has the most mitochondria will change color most from Blue to Clear. This is because mitochondria has an enzyme called Succinic Dehydrogenase. This enzyme can be picked up by removing (2) Hydrogen atoms and the DCPIP picks those Hydrogen atoms up, becoming DCPIP2.

Note that DCPIP is DARK BLUE, and DCPIP2 is CLEAR. So, when the hydrogen is picked up and DCPIP becomes DCPIP2, the color goes clearer, and so there is mitochondria present.

What color would you expect BTB to be when pure water is added?

BTB changes color because of the CO2 in chemicals. When we blow into the BTB with a straw, the water vapor fuses with the BTB and change color. Our breath has some acidic characteristics. The BTB changes from blue, its original color to green-yellow, that's proof that what we breath has acidic molecules.


What is proof of a chemical change?

Evidence of a chemical change includes the formation of new substances with different properties, such as a color change, formation of a precipitate, evolution of gas, or change in temperature. A chemical change involves the rearrangement of atoms in molecules to form new substances. Additional indicators may include changes in odor, taste, or composition.
