The CaseA murder has occurred in the city of Fresno!
As top-notch biology students at Bullard High School, you have been asked to assist in the investigation of this most unfortunate incident. Central to identifying the individual who committed this crime is establishing where the victim was the day of the crime so that detectives can question the individuals with whom the victim came into contact.

Me n’ Ed’s Pizzeria
The victim would never eat thin crust pizza from anywhere else! The victim would typically visit the local branch of Me and Ed’s and order a pizza with sausage, pepperoni, and bacon.
What macromolecules would you expect to find in the stomach contents of the victim if the victim’s final “pizza” was eaten here?

World Sports Cafe
The victim would hang out here to watch sporting events while feasting on Blazzin’ wings and celery.
What macromolecules would you expect to find in the stomach contents of the victim if the victim’s final meal was eaten here?

Ovidio’s Restaurante
The victim loved to go here for a night of bread, olive oil, and pasta.
What macromolecules would you expect to find in the stomach contents of the victim if the victim’s final meal was eaten here?

water and heat that water to a gentle boil.2. Put 2 scoops of the stomach contents into a test-
tube.3. Add 10 drops of Benedict’s solution to the test-
tube. 4. Gently shake the test-tube and place in the water
bath for 3 to 5 minutes.5. Use the test-tube holder to remove from the water
bath and place in the test-tube rack. Record any color changes.
Positive Result: Contents will turn yellow, orange, or red.Negative Result: Contents will turn blue.
