Seventh Class: Ye Olde Tale Of The Theft Of Young Jerell's Ipod

In this class we figured out who stole Jerell's iPod based on the food sample they left behind.  We tested the foods: pretzels, butter, jelly, fat-free yogurt, beans, and a wet and dry sample of food the thief left behind.  From this we found which of these foods contains glucose, starch, protein, and/or lipids.  Knowing which foods had each, we then looked at what Jerell's co-workers ate for lunch.  The only food that matched the mystery substance was Jose's bean and cheese burrito.  Thus the culprit was Jose, the new guy around the joint.  Finding this out was only possible by using iodine, biuret, benedicts and sudan to test for basic elements within everyday food.
Wasn't me e se...
