flat =About Me= I am a Freshmen in High School here at PAHS. I am a Master Sergeant in the United States Civil Air Patrol. I plan on going to the Air Force academy after a two year mission for my church. My favorite subjects in school are math and science. I plan on being an officer in the United States Air Force. I do not enjoy having nothing to do as I like to keep busy.

=Red Maple= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_maple The scientific name is //Acer Rubrum.// It is related to the Silver Maple, Norway Maple, Black Maple. It is Deciduous, meaning it will lose its leaves in the winter. It is pointed, simple, and opposite. The wood is close-grained, with brilliant fall colors with relatively soft wood. It can be used for collecting syrup, and is a good tree for making lumber. Member of the //Acer// family. Sources: Wikipedia, Department of Conservation & Natural Resources Bureau of Forestry

=Norway Maple= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norway_Maple Its scientific name is //Acer Platanoides.// It is related to the Red Maple, Silver Maple and Black Maple. It is a Deciduous tree, meaning it will lose its leaves in the winter. Its leaves are coarsely toothed, with a 5-lobed leaf, it is simple and opposite. Younger Norway Maples are lighter in color while older ones are darker in color. They are very popular ornamental trees. Member of the //Acer// family. Has been called the "Crimson King".

=Biomolecules in Foods= The food I tested was lettuce. We hypothesized that there would be no molecules that we were looking for inside the lettuce. We found that there was no simple sugar or starches in the lettuce. There was also no proteins or fats and oils in the lettuce as well. The other substance that was tested at our table was milk. The tests showed that there was proteins, and fats and oils in the milk. The tests also showed that Ground Beef has proteins and fats and oils. The potato had starches and proteins. I also tested spinach and I found that there was only simple sugars and starches. I was surprised that there was no protein in the spinach. Some foods had different bio-molecule then what we had expected. I expected lettuce to have some kind of sugar but it didn't have any sugars, starches, fats or oils. Beans had had starch and protein. Liver had everything. However, there was one test where lettuce had starches, this test should have been negative. I was somewhat surprised that egg whites had no protein, but that they yolk did. Most of the dairy products had protein in some amount. Also in my research I found that the Avocado did have fats.

=Photosynthesis Infographic= =DNA Extraction Homework= Not all of our extraction was the same. This could be due to the fact that we didn't due the same amount of scraping with our teeth, or just the way our DNA is composed. The amount of DNA extracted could be different depending on how much activity we would, and our blood pressure could play a role in it. A more active person will have more veins in one area then a less active person, meaning there would be a much different amount of DNA collected.

=DNA Replication Summary = DNA must replicate in order to have a full set of genes in order to function correctly. Genes are made of DNA; therefor DNA must replicate, or copy, itself. The first step is that an enzyme called helicase breaks the hydrogen bonds holding the DNA strands together. After that happens single stranded binding proteins prevent the two different strands from coming back together. There is a leading strand, and a lagging strand. The enzyme primase gives a starting point for DNA to start. Next, polymerase binds and begins to replicate DNA. The difference between the leading and lagging strand is that the leading strand is replicated continuously, while the lagging strand is synthesized using Okazaki fragments. An enzyme that joins the okazaki fragments to each other is ligase.
