Day 7: Organic Compound Mystery??!!

Today, we began my discussing the topics we took notes on for homework - mainly carbohydrates, monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.
 Then we were able to chose between two different labs, and I chose the "Who took Jerell's iPod? --An Organic Compound Mystery." First, we tests for the presence of glucose, starch, and lipids in vegetable oil, glucose, starch from corn/potatoes, powdered egg whites, and water.

Then, we tested for the presence of glucose, starch, and lipids in pretzels, butter, jelly, fat-free yogurt, and the dry and liquid part of Jerell's evidence.

We have not finished the lab yet, so I'll post the results and conclusion in a later blog post, but for now here are some pictures!
