Lab Report

Human bodies need four types of macromolecules to survive. We found this out during our investigation into cheese and whats in it. Monosaccharides, like glucose, which are the body's main method of acquiring energy. Saccharomyces, such as glycogen, are used for short term energy storage. Lipids are just groups of fatty acid chains and are used for long term energy storage. They are used in structures, chemical reactions, inter-cellular communication, and other processes. There are Carbohydrates which are carbon rings attached to oxygen and hydrogen atoms. Proteins are the most complex and versatile macromolecules. Nucleic acids such as DNA, provide the genetic code for a cell.
Reflecting
Personal, I did not enjoy this project. Whether it was the labs time scheduler, the actual procedures of the lab, or part of my group being off task, it was not fun. I do however feel like I grew slightly in communication, trying to get some people back on task. Also in using my time effectively since every second counted for our group. Some peaks that we had were our hypothesis for the FPC being the fastest being correct and also proving that more of the curdling agent speeds up the time it takes to curdle.
In the future, I need to try and make it to more days of school since I could tell me missing a few days seemed to put us behind since one other person was doing all the work, maybe two. I should also try and ask more specified questions since I was unclear about how we were meant to do certain things and answers I got back didn't quite make much sense. Hopefully I can do these things for my next project.
