Organic Molecules are everywhere around us. That human walking her dog across the street, made up of organic molecules. The dog she is walking, made up of organic molecules. The dictionary defines the word “organic” as “of or relating to living matter.” What should jump out from this definition is the word “living”. All living things are organic, which means they are made up of some combination of Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Oxygen. These combinations generally form the four macromolecules that are found in living organisms known as, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. In the following experiment we set out to find out what different foods were, using a variety of tests, such as the lipid test, simple sugar test, and the protein test. These tests allowed us to find out what the different types of unknown substances were.
