Silly Jerell

September 11, 2013

So today was quite a rushed class. My partner, Chris Hernandez, and I raced both the clock and Mr. Quick and Shannon to complete this mystery of a lab, who stole Jerell's iPod. Jerell works at McDonalds, and one day, when he returned to work after a break, his iPod was missing, with only a few food crumbs in its place. There are four possible suspects, Jose, Ashley, Bruce, and Kiara, and we are supposed to help Jerell test all of the foods that they ate that day, and compare it to the crumbs that were found.

In this lab, we took six solutions and tested them to see if they had starch, glucose, lipid, and protein. We found that the crumbs that were found contained Glucose, Protein, and Lipids, but not Starch. We then tested the foods that the suspects ate that day: Bean burrito with cheese, Fat-free Yogurt, Toast with butter and jelly, and Pretzel.

Our results are as follow:

Food	Glucose	Starch	Protein	Lipid
Pretzel	Yes	Yes	No	No
Butter	No	No	No	Yes
Jelly	Yes	No	No	Yes
Fat-free Yogurt	Yes	No	No	No
Beans	No	No	No	No

Based on these results, Bruce, with his Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich, has the the meal that is the closest to the crumbs that were found.
