- Which type of macromolecule is composed of amino acids?
Exercise 1
- Describe the experimental protocol you developed and followed when testing the unknown. Be sure to include your hypothesis.
- Were your hypotheses confirmed by these experiments? If not, what did you find most surprising about the results?
- What can you conclude about the unknown solution based on your results
- How did you use parts 1–3 of this experiment to inform your experimental design in part 4
- What were your positive and negative controls for each biomolecule when testing the unknown? Explain why you chose each control
- Come up with two practical, real-world scenarios in which testing for biomolecules would be beneficial and describe them here
