Cheese Lab
The purpose of this lab was to find the macromolecules present in cheese that we manufactured and analyzed.
This lab had three parts. Each part played a role in showing us the production of cheese and the biology behind it.
Part One-The first part of the project was designed to test four different methods of cheese production in order to find the most efficient one.
Part Two-The second portion of the project was to test another variable of our choosing that had to do with cheese production. We did incubation temperature.
Part Three-The final part of the cheese lab was devoted to analyzing the composition of the cheese. We first did positive and negative controls for four macro-molecules, then tested the cheese for the presence of them
Macromolecules-are molecules that are necessary for our cells, but ones which our body cannot produce.

Reflection
This was a very interesting project. Sadly I was unable to complete it due to the fact that i was gone for the whole lab because I was sick. I feel that I didn't learn much from this lab and would therefore like to run it again in the future.
