Carbohydrate Lab

Question: what carbohydrates are in certain products?

Procedure: Have any product you want to use and test it but first test if monocacoride polycacoride and dicacoride has Benedict and iodine. Have Benedict, Iodine, Test tubes, and a dropper to first have your products for example a Tic-Tac, Tootsie roll, and a hot cheeto put all 3 things and put it in a separate test tube and grab your dropper and get benidict and pour it into the test tubes after that put the test tubes in a water bath and leave the tubes in there for a few minutes and if it changes color it has benidict. For iodine have the same products and pour iodine in it and if it changes color there is iodine in it.

Claims: Everything has a type of carbohydrate in it.

Evidence:
The picture of the tubes with blue liquid is Benedict and the tubes and it is in a water bath to heat up the Benedict causing it to react and change color, but it only changes if the product has Benedict in it with the red liquid is Iodine and it only changes color when the product has Iodine in it.



Research:

Reflection: If you are eating something right now you might be eating something with benedict or iodine in it or it can be both.
