=Biomolecules in foods lab analysis= = The two food that I tested were apples and eggs. The results differ because with the apple the biuret and iodine didn’t change. But, the egg one both changes. = The liver was identified as the simple sugars and fat being negative, and the starch and protein being positive. With the egg yolk all of the tested information was positive. The avocado had that the simple sugars and fat were present and the starches and protein were absent. Lastly, the apple only had sugars that were present meaning that the starch, fat, and protein were all absent. In the foods I always thought that in apples their was protein but, with the information that we found the apple didn’t have starch, fat or protein. In the information that we found the banana was absent/negative for protein but it is supposed to be positive. The information that we found for a egg white was that it was negative for fat but it is supposed to be positive.

=Homework DNA activity= Did everyone in your group have about the same extraction results? Why is this the case? How is the amount of DNA that you extracted affected by your day to day activities?

Answer: Everyone in my group didn’t have the same extraction results, here are some reasons why they were not the same. Some reasons why they were not the same is because not all the people in the group had breakfast this would change the result in the test. Another reason why it wouldn’t be the same is because everyone in the group didn’t the same things in their mouth such as braces, and more or less saliva. The amount of DNA that you extracted affected your day to day activities by someone not brushing their teeth, or someone that ate earlier or had some type of candy. These are reasons why we don’t have the same extraction results, and the amount of DNA that is extracted.
