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,
