PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Groups used different curdling agents and milk to make cheese. The curdling agents used were buttermilk, FPC, NCB, and water. One vial of each curdling agent was put into vials each containing 6 mL of milk. The vials were then heated at body temperature and timed, ending once the milk solidified.
Then, in a second lab, the procedures were adjusted by each group to make cheese in the most efficient way.
My group looked to speed up the curdling process of milk and FPC.

CONTENT
Macromolecules:
Carbohydrates- The two types of carbohydrates are monosaccharides and polysaccharides, they provide energy for the cell. Monosaccharides are simple sugars and polysaccharides are storage of the sugar and have many roles in the cell.
Proteins-
Lipids- Major roles of lipids are to store energy, create the cell membrane, and cell signaling
Nucleic Acids- DNA and RNA are the principal information molecules, DNA is double stranded and contains genetic information, and RNA is single stranded and is involved in protein synthesis, information transfer, transportations, and catalyzing reactions. DNA and RNA are made up of nucleotides.
Macromolecules cannot be produced by the body but are necessary for life, they are essential to cells.
REFLECTION
My group had a few communication issues, as we had split up the work and then joined to share our data at the end. We took a little longer than the other groups because we had changed our procedure after finding that it would not be able to be completed, leaving us to restart the second portion of the lab. As a result, we had to work quickly. We stayed on task and shared portions of the work, helping each other as necessary.
I worked on this project with Owen Ondricek, Tak Maga, and Suyash Krishan.
