= Biomolecules in Food = By testing it in a variety of test we discovered that peas do not contain simple sugars, however they do contain starch. Also we have discovered that peas do not have trace of fats but do contain proteins.What I found strange about the biomolecules in different foods included that there is no protein in an apple along with a potato. I always thought that here two foods were a good source of protein because they are nutritious, however my thoughts were wrong. Upon my research I found that meats should contain starch which found to be negative when we tested. My lab table also tested egg whites which tested positive proteins, and negative for the other tests such as fats, starches, and simple sugars.
