Hello, I'm Madison. The only sport is Track and Field. In my spare time I like to hangout with my friends and listen to music. I work at Burger King! :)

=Norway Spruce= The scientific name of Norway Spruce is //Picea abies//. The most known tress it's related to our white spruce, blue spruce and black spruce. Norway Spruce is a coniferous spruce tree with single needles. The bark characteristics consist of relatively thin, reddish brown and scaly gray-brown. Norway's twigs are usually bright and golden. There leaves are dark green and four sided. //Picea abies// is used to make crates and paper pulp.

=Tulip Tree= The scientific name of Tulip tree is //Liriodendron tulipifera.// The Tulip tree is an deciduous tree with simple alternative leaves. The alternative leaves have a rounded lobed margin and are palmate. The Chinese Tulip tree is the most known tulip tree relative. The younger tree bark on a Tulip tree is dark green and smooth with milky white colored vertical stripes; while, the older trunks are dark gray and furrowed. The fruit on the //Liriodendron tulipifera// is cone-like, longer than 1" and soft. The Tulip tree is used as a specimen and a substitute for basswood in Venetian blinds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liriodendron_tulipifera =**Biomolecules Lab**= Egg Yolk: I tested egg yolk. When I added the Benedic’s solution to the egg yolk the egg yolk didn’t turn a orange color; therefore, the egg yolk isn’t a simple carbohydrate. The egg yolk is a starch carbohydrate; I know this because when I added the iodine the egg yolk turned from the yellow yoke color to a blue/ black color. The egg yolk is defiantly a protein; I know this is present because as soon as I added the biuret solution the egg yoke immediately changed from yellow, to blue, then to a mauve color. The egg yolk also had a fat present; this was shown when the red interface line showed up after the Sudan IV solution was added to the egg yolk.

Liver: Sam tested liver. When she added the Benedic’s solution to the liver it also didn’t turn a orange color; so, the liver also isn’t a simple carbohydrate. Sam next tested for a starch carbohydrate and the iodine showed that it was present; I know this because the liver turned from a light brown color to a blue/black color. The liver also had protein present, when the Biuret solution was added to it turned to a mauve color. The liver also had a fat present; this was shown when the red interface line showed up after the Sudan IV solution was added to the liver.

All foods: The white beans had starch, fat and protein present; while, simple sugar was absent. The egg white only had protein present. The avocado had simple sugar, starch, and fat present; while, protein was absent. The potato had starch and protein present; while, simple sugar and fat was absent. The milk only fat and protein present; while, simple sugar and starch was absent. The egg yolk had everything present but simple sugar. The banana had simple sugar and protein present; while, starch and fat was absent. The apple only had simple sugar present. The lettuce had nothing present. The ground beef had fat and protein present;, simple sugar and starch was absent. The liver had fat and protein present; while, simple sugar and starch was absent.

1/4 of the foods had a simple sugar present; 3/4 of the food had a simple sugar absent. 1/3 of the food had a starch present; 2/3 of the food had a starch absent. 5/12 of the foods had a fat present; 7/12 of the foods had a fat absent. 7/12 of the food had a protein present; 5/12 of the foods had a protein absent. I was surprised to see that white beans and avocado had fat present. Usually when you want to be healthier you eat things such as these. I was not surprise that milk, ground beef, liver, egg yolk, and egg while were high and protein. These are the kinds of food that you usually hear that are high in protein. I wasn't surprise that milk had fat present; this didn't surprise me because you always hear girls talking about how milk is fating so they have to cut it out of their diet.

According to my research, starch in lettuce should have came up positive instead of negative. I know this because starch is always present in plants. Also, egg white should of had a simple carbohydrate show up, but it didn't.

This was because some people didn’t get any cheek cells while others got a lot. This just depended on how many cheek cells they scraped from the side of their mouth. The amount of cheek cells depended on how hard they bit their cheek. It also depended on how long they would squish it around in their mouth. The amount of DNA that you extracted by your day to day activities depend on what you have eaten that day, if you have braces, your looseness of you cheek cells, the amount of moisture in your mouth, and how many teeth you have. =DNA Replication Summary = DNA begins when an enzyme (helicase) binds with DNA and breaks apart the hydrogen bonds. Next, single stranded binding proteins attach to the leading and lagging strands of the DNA. The binding proteins keep the stands from coming back together. Then, an enzyme (primase ) attaches its self to the 3’ end of the leading strand. The primase tells the DNA strand that that is were the staring point of replication is. The polymerse then goes in and binds and replicates the DNA. Replication of the lagging strand has some differences from replication of the leading strand. One, it starts at the 5’ end. Next, the Okazaki strand attaches it’s self to the 5’. Then, the lagging strand uses to Okazaki Fragments to hold the DNA together and the ligase comes in and comes together with the Okazaki fragments.

= DNA Infographic = Reflection: I tried to go more in depth with my connections this time. I did this by putting the Still don't understand section. I like my structure of DNA section. I also liked my did you know? section because the red made it pop out. What I didn't like was that it looked to much like a poster, but I don't really know how to change it. I try to stray away from it looking poster like, but it doesn't really work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:DNA_replication_split.svg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:DNA-structure-and-bases.png http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lightmatter_lab_mice.jpg
