Lab Report Introduction There are four important biologically important molecules. There a lipids, proteins and two forms of carbohydrates. The two forms of carbohydrates are reducing sugars and also starches. Biological molecules are very important for which they are in most of the foods we eat. Sugars and protein make up a great source of what we eat. If we didn’t have sugar or protein, nobody would have much energy to do the things they like to do. Carbohydrates are molecules made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Most carbohydrates are made from monosaccharides which are simple sugars. Reducing sugars are many monosaccharides that are made w/ aldehydes and ketone. The test we did for reducing sugars was the Benedicts test where we took seven tubes and used Benedicts solution to see what color changes we would see. We believed that the simple sugars would change color and the starches would not. For starches we would use iodine. If the starches were present then they would be a yellowish-brown, but sugars, present, made, starches, proteins, lipids, test, reducing, protein, molecules, important, color, carbohydrates, water, two, towel, simple, put, paper, monosaccharides, group, grease, forms, experiment, energy, eat, controls, benedicts, believed, amino, acids, yellowish-brown, w/, violet, very
