Feeding Frenzy food lab

Introduction (5 points)

Purpose (1 point)
The purpose of this experiment is to determine what macromolecules are in the four different foods

Question (1 point)
What macromolecules are in buttermilk biscuits, potato chips, hot peppers, and sardines?

Background (1 point)
Macromolecules are molecules with a large number of atoms. There are four types of macromolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. In this lab we will test four foods to see if they contain carbohydrates
(sugar and/or starches), proteins and lipids. We will use chemical reagents to test to determine the presence of macromolecules: Benidicts solution for sugar, Iodine for starch, Biurets reagent for protein, and Sudan III for lipids.

Hypothesis (1 point)
If we test buttermilk biscuits for starches, sugars, proteins and lipids then it will test positive for all. If we test potato chips for starches, sugars, proteins and lipids it will then test positive for lipids and starch. If we test peppers for starches, sugars, proteins and lipids then it will test positive for only sugar. If we test sardins for starches, sugars, proteins and lipids then it will only test positive for proteins and lipids.

    In the test for starches, water again will serve a the negative control for the experiment becasue it is inorganic. it appears obvious the 1% starch solution will test positve for starches becasue it is starch. The onion juice should carry starch due to the fact that starch is stored energy for plants and onions are very bulbous, while the sucrose solution again will not test positive because sucrose is only a part of starch.…

    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.…

    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.…
