Food Lab and Biochemistry Test

On Wednesday our food lab write ups are due. Here are the instructions on what to write.

Write up: 
Analyse and evaluate your results for 3 of your foods.  Write one paragraph for each food.   DO NOT just write down your test observations (I already should have these in your data sheet.)   Instead, interpret these observations to describe what molecules are in the foods (proteins, sugars, starches and lipids.)  To do this you will need to look at your results from part 1 of the lab (on the front side.)  As you describe what is in foods you should compare your results with what the online USDA website told you.  Was your test accurate?  What may have gone wrong?

Within the next day I will place a link to a study guide for the test.  For now you can study the following things.

  • "Chemistry of life notes" 
  • HONC diagrams
  • lipid cut and paste notes
  • carbohydrate cut and paste notes
  • protein cut and paste notes.
