=Flowering crabapple= The scientific name is //Malus hopa//. Trees that are related to it are the flowering dogwoods. It is a deciduous tree. It has simple, alternating leaves with a toothed margin. Leaves can be red/purple in the spring, they may change to pink or white, and the leaves are small. The flowering crabapple is mainly used for landscape. The beauty of the tree attracts people to the landscape. [|crabapple]

=Black Ash= The name of the tree is black ash or //Fraxinus nigra.// The mountain ash is related to this tree. Native Americans used this tree's wood to make baskets. Some other uses for it is to make guitars and basses.The leaves are opposite, compound, pinnate, and have a serrated margin. It is a deciduous tree. The leaves are 10 to 14 inches long, dark green, and light brown. [|black ash]

=Biomolecules in Food Lab= The food I tested was lettuce. I found that there was no simple sugars, fat, protein, or starch. The cannelini bean had no sugars or fat but it did have starch and protein. In liver everything was present. In the egg white sugar, starch, and fat were all absent but protein was present. Avocados had sugars and fat but did not have starch or protein. The potato had no sugars, fat, or protein however it had starch. Milk had no sugars or starch it had fat and protein. In the egg yolks everything was present. Peas had no sugars or fat but did have starch and protein. The bananas had sugars and starch but no fat and protein. The apple had sugars, starch, and protein but had no fat. Ground beef had no sugars or starch but did have fat and protein. I was surprised to see that an apple had sugars in it because you wouldn't think that it would. I thought a potato would have protein because I always thought that a potato was a good source of protein. Meat has starch but the tests came up negative.

=DNA Extraction= Not everyone had the same results. This could be from the fact that we didn't swish the drink long enough or hard enough. The day to day activities that could effect this are brushing your teeth, chewing gum, eating, and having braces. The reason why they would affect cheek cells is because they can take away the dead cells and wear on the new cells.

=DNA Replication Summery = To start you have to break the hydrogen bonds with an enzyme called helicase. The next step is attaching single stranded binding proteins to keep the strands from coming together. Then primase attaches to give a starting point. Finally polymerase attaches and starts replicating the final strand called the lagging strand. The lagging strand always gets replicated last and has okazaki fragments to help it open.
