Unit 2 Reflection

                This unit was about lipids, enzymes, carbohydrates etc. The essential understandings is how increasing molecular complexity serves as building blocks for life. Also the different factors affecting enzyme functions. Carbohydrates play a big role in building blocks giving us an energy source. Asking our selves why water is wet and why it sticks to certain things. From the labs I completed I learned about the different curdling agents and how Ph and temperature affects them From acid and bases to hot and cold. the best curdling agent for cheeses is chymosin mixed with acid with decreases the curdling time while buttermilk in hot water takes over 20 minutes. During labs our strength was working together and being collaborative. Our weakness was that we used the same materials making some of our answers incorrect and false. 

                From these experiences I learned how to work together in a group and got a better understanding of carbohydrates, lipids and enzymes while working. I learned by paying attention and doing my part. I also learned how to have the correct data and not the data to be false by not doing something by not washing out the beakers or cleaning up something. 

                 I want to learn moire about carbohydrates and how they affect ones body and their immune system. How do carbohydrates work in the body and how does it covert into sugars proteins and fats.
