Macromolecule Lab
Today we worked on a Macromolecule lab where we were attempting to find the culprit who stole Jerell's ipod. The way we went about this was every culprit had something different for lunch and we tested different foods such as jelly, pretzels and yogurt for glucose, starch, glucose, and lipids using different indicators: Biuret tests for proteins; Benedict tests for glucose; Iodine tests for starch; and we used a brown paper bag to test for lipids. After testing all the different food items for these items, we did the same process for the unknown substance that was supposedly found on Jerell's iPod. After much detective work, we found Amanda's food, contained, starch, glucose, lipids, AND proteins which was also found in the unknown substance that was obtained from the scene of the crime.
