Whats the relation between milk and corn? Purpose:To identify the chemical relationship between corn and milk and how one can be turned into the other. Hypothesis: If I test corn for nutrients then it will test possitive for starch‚lipids and fats but negative for protein because it only consist of those nutrients and not the other. If I test milk for nutrients then it will test possitive for lipids‚protein‚and fats but negative for starch because it consists of those nutrients.
