In this lab we asked the question, can macromolecules be identified in an egg cell. We found that an egg represents a cell. Meaning macromelucules are found int he same area. For the qualitative data we found that egg membrane and egg yolk always turned purple for every test stating that they have protein in them. Meaning that the Macromolecule was present. For the quantitative data we found that the darker the purple the higher the amount of macromolecules that were present. Ig the color did no change at all we noticed there was no macromolecules there. This evidence and data also comes from Mr. Orre's vodacasts for homework and also the CFU's. This data supports our claim because all the data we found we would see if the data was correct or no then collaborate on what rating we would give for the 0-10 macromolecule test.
While our hypothesis was supported by our data, we found out that there could have been errors due to leaving the test tubes in too long leaving the experiment to go over while others were on target. Or since one of our members of our group left early we had to do their part where they left off not knowing where they were. Due to these errors, I would recommend the person to tell us everything they did be for leaving so the other group members would know what to do next time. Also I recommend that the tools to get the test tubed out of the water are easier to use.
This lab was done to demonstrate the macromolecules were present in the negative control (water), the egg membrane, the egg yolk, and the egg white. From this lab I learned the ways to see if the macromolecules were present and why they were present which helps me understand the concept of what macromolecules are in what part of a cell if its the nucleus, membrane etc.
