=Biomolecules Lab Analysis=
 * 1) The food I tested was ground beef. Simple sugars and starch were absent. Presence of fat and protein were present. Our group discussed the potato and it showed up as absent for sugars and fat but present for protein and starch.
 * 2) Meats have sugars and starch which are present and fat and proteins are absent.Fruits (apple) have sugars and starch which are present and fat and protein are absent. Vegetables(lettuce) have sugar and strach which are present and fat is absent. Eggs yolks, sugar is absent and starch, fat, and protein are present.

4. The biomolecules found in the avocado surprised me. I did not think that there was fat in an avocado. Also, in one of the experiments sugar showed up as present in the liver. Egg yolk showed up as present for sugar. I would not expect to see fat in any of the fruits because they are healthy and most of them don’t have fat, but some of them showed up with fat.

5. Upon research, the potato is supposed to have sugar present. When we tested a potato is showed up as absent. All fruits have natural sugar in them so every test that showed up absent for fruits is most likely wrong.
