Biomolecule Lap Report

A victim has died we as biochemists must find out what the stomach contaminates contain by
running multiple tests based on what he last ate. Based on what we found in the stomach
contaminants we can conclude what he ate.

Table 1:
Macromolecule Chemical Test Positive Test result Negative Test result

Lipids Sudan Test Turns into a darker Stays the same

Proteins Biuret Test Turns dark purple Stays the same

Carbohydrates Benedict's Test Turns in orange Turns green

In conclusion the victim could have eaten pasta from Ginnos seeing as how much starch pasta
has. While all the other tests came back negative the iodine test that was a test for starches came
back positive. The other food options do not contain starch so the pasta had to be his last meal
