Determination Of Unknown Argument Of B, C, And D
According to the evidence derived from our lab, we have determined that Unknown A, B, C, and D are to be identified as the Sprite, burger, fries, and bun, respectively. Each Unknown provided evidence that we eventually used to match to each element of the meal. Along with the lab data, our prior knowledge also led us to our results. We were able to determine that Unknown A is the Sprite due to the fact that every test was negative except for simple sugars, a macromolecule that the majority of sodas contain. We determined that Unknown C were the fries because of the starches and lipids present. Fries come from potatoes, which are plants, which make starches, meaning that fries contain starches, furthering our proof. Also, if foods, …show more content…
Since Unknown C didn't test positive for simple sugars or proteins, we decided it was the fries. We determined that Unknown D was the hamburger bun because of the starches and simple sugars present. Hamburger buns are bread, which is a carbohydrate, or a carb. Carbs are made up of starches and sugars, which essentially means that a bun would also be made up of starches and sugars, therefore giving us proof. When trying to decide what each Unknown was at the end of our lab, we determined that Unknown B was the burger, but we had waited to label it because of the slight difficulty we ran into during the lab. In our group’s trial, we didn't find any lipids in the Unknown, macromolecules we had highly expected to find. Our misunderstanding was cleared up by the fact that every other group had found lipids except us. This error most likely was due to us either not adding enough of the Unknown during the test, or us not waiting long enough for the results to be clear. It was clearly human error on our group’s behalf. Also unexpected was when sugars, although not simple, were found in Unknown B. The results of the test to find simple sugars weren't significant enough to be classified as simple,

    Spit Lab

    The objective for the Spit lab was to test two different types of crackers for the presence or absence of starch and of reducing sugars. Also, to test the chewed cracker, the one that didn’t have a reducing sugar, for the presence or absence of a reducing sugar with the saliva in it. Adding on, another part of the objective is to determine the effect of amylase on starch. For the Chemical Aspects lab, the objectives were to test for the presence or absence of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins in several test samples. In the starch test, the objective was to find the substances that contain starch. In the starch test, iodine was used. In the reducing sugar test, the objective was to find the test materials that have a reducing sugar. In the reducing sugar test benedicts was used. In the grease spot test, the objective was to find all the samples that had a lipid. Another one of the lipid tests were the dye test which was a more specific test to find the substances that all contained a fat by using a solution of Sudan 4 and water. The protein test’s purpose was to determine all the test materials that contained a protein by using biuret solution. The procedure for the Spit lab was to perform the starch test and reducing sugar test on both crackers. Then chew up the cracker that doesn’t have reducing sugars. Next, test the sample for a reducing sugar. The results of the Chemical Aspects lab were that starch, potato juice, cracker solution, and cereal contain starch. In the reducing sugar test glucose, fructose, lactose, and milk contain a reducing sugar. In the grease spot test, salad oil, milk, and chips are lipids. In the dye test, salad oil and chips are fats. Egg albumin, cereal, and cracker mixture show that they are proteins. In the Spit lab the saliva and cracker test showed up positive. The starch test for saltine was positive. The reducing sugar test for saltine was…

    A few experiments were performed to test for the presence of the different types of macromolecules of various solutions. The iodine tested for starch and glycogen, Benedict’s test tested for reducing sugars for carbohydrates and biuret test was performed to test for proteins. It is necessary to understand how important controls are in a lab experiment. A control is where all of the experimental variables can be controlled and monitored. Results are determined by comparing these variables to the control. Without them, no results would be valid in the experiment. To tell whether or not the experimental procedure were carried out properly and correctly, treatment controls were used. They can either be positive or negative. Correct data with followed procedures, resulting in a working experiment would be a positive control. On the opposite hand, negative controls would give negative results if everything were to be followed in the experiment.…

    Learning experience 4 teaches the understanding of how to identify a small sample of Biomolecules within a wide variety of substances. The specific biomolecules that were observed in the lab were Sugar, Starch, Protein, and Lipids. These 4 Biomolecules were tested within the foods applesauce, peas, and turkey gravy. These biomolecules were identified using the solution indicators for the Biomolecules which are respectively designated for each biomolecule. Iodine for Starch, Benedicts for Sugar, Biurets for Protein, and a brown paper bag for Lipids. The biomolecules were observed when the food and indicators were combined, the solution then turned a color designating a specific biomolecule. Protein turns purple, Iodine turns black/blue, Sugar turns orange, and since lipids was actually not mixed with another solution and instead dropped onto a brown paper bag, would reveal a grease stain over time to indicate whether or not the substance contained Lipids. Two other major biomolecules that were not tested in the lab were Nucleic Acids and Carbohydrates. If we study the foods before the lab we can observe what biomolecules may be in the foods. Since Turkey Gravy contains meat, it may contain Protein. Since Applesauce comes from an apple, it should contain some sort of natural sugar. Biomolecules are building blocks of energy for our bodies within our foods.…

    In the lab, three experiments were completed: the Iodine experiment, Benedict's experiment and the Biuret experiment to test for starch and glycogen, reducing sugars and protein in the respective order. 12 solutions were given where 11 were known and the 12th was an unknown. The solutions that were supplied can be found in the results and observations section of this report. When completing such experiments, there are always controls used to make sure the procedure is followed and that no cross contamination happened. There are two types of controls, a positive control that gives a positive result and a negative control that gives a negative result.…

    The test tube was heated for 5-6 minutes. After 2 minutes of making sure it was nothing was going to change after heating, it was clear that there was no change had occurred with the benedict’s solution. The benedicts solution stayed a light blue color when added to the strong starch solution, and continued to stay the same color after heated. This indicates no simple sugars present.…

    The aim of this report is to see if the any of the four food apple sauce, carrot juice, cracker juice, and turkey juice contain protein, starch, or sugar. Between these four foods two are positive for sugar which are apple sauce and carrot juice. Sugar is an organic molecule of carbohydrate and so is starch. The starch was positive in two of the foods which are cracker juice and carrot juice. Protein is its own organic molecule and only one food tested positive for protein and it is the turkey juice.…
