flat =About Me =

Hi, i' m a freshman at PHS! I like to read lots of books that are about death, love, and creatures of the night. Some of the books I read are called Twilight, The Mortal Instruments, and House of Night books. The way I learn is listening to the teacher well I draw and I also love to draw after school. What I draw is mostly is just little characters from Japan television shows. I' m into all different types of science as long as it does not involve anything like having to cut up animals by my self. I can look as long as it is not my hands doing the cutting. I do play some sports but I' m not into them that much. Some sports I played was soccer, volleyball, and cheerleading if you count that as a sport.

=Red Oak = **//__Quercus rubra__//**

The tree I did was the Red Oak or the scientific name for the tree is **//__Quercus rubra__.//** Other trees that are related to the Red Oak is all oaks with bristle-tipped leaves and acorns that ripen over two seasons. The Red Oak is a deciduous tree which means that its leaves change colors during the fall and die. The leaves are pointed lobed, simple, and alternate on the branches. Three ways to tell it apart from other trees is that the bark is a greenish-brown or gray. The twigs are a greenish or redish color and are smooth to the touch. Some uses for the Red Oak is furniture, flooring, mill work, and railroad ties. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quercus_rubra

=Eastern Hemlock = **//__Tsuga Canadensis__//**

The other tree I also did is called a Eastern Hemlock or __//**Tsuga Canadensis**//__. Other trees related to the Eastern Hemlock is other hemlock such as Carolina Hemlock, Taiwan Hemlock, Northern Japanese Hemlock, and etc. The Eastern Hemlock is a coniferous which means that its leaves do not change colors or fall off. This tree is a fir and there is only one needle in a bunch. Three ways to distinguish this Hemlock one it is flaky when young or thick and roughly grooved when older. Two its bark is a gray brown to a red brown. Third its fruit is cones that hang singly on a end of a twig and under each scale are two small seeds. some specific uses for this tree is it is used in construction timber and as a source of tannic acid for tanning leather.

=Biomolecules in Foods Lab =

**Analysis**: Discuss the food you tested and the results from each of the 4 tests. Also discuss one other food that your group tested and those results. The test i did was on Cannellini bean (white bean) the results for the test was that protein, starches, and fats came out present excepted for the simple sugar. One of my team mates did banana and got present for starches, simple sugar, and fats except for her protein.

Identify the biomolecules (simple sugar, starch, fat, protein) found in each of the foods or you can lump the foods into types of foods and discuss the biomolecules found in those categories of foods (look at all the results from the classes). The meats like liver and ground beef has starch, fat, protein but not simple sugar. Most of the fruit only have simple sugar but the <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 12px;">avocado has starches in it and <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> the vegetables have about nothing

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Compare the biomolecules found in the different foods. You can make a chart or graph to show your data OR discuss the data in some way in your paragraph. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">What biomolecules found in the foods were surprising to you? Why? What biomolecules did you expect to see in some of the foods that you did not find? Why did you think they would be there?

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Research the nutritional information about some of the foods. Based upon your research, which tests should have been positive instead of negative.

=<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Cannellini Bean = <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Under the Carbohydrates the starches were the only things that came out present, but the simple sugars were absent in the test. The proteins can out positive during the test and so did the fats. =<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Spinach = <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Well testing spinach to see how health it is for us. I found out that it is not as health as we though because when is was testing for carbohydrates both the simple sugar and starches came out negative. Also, the fats and proteins both came out negative during the test.

Why is this the case? How is the amount of DNA that you extracted affected by your day to day activities?

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Everyone in my group did not have about the same extraction. In this case we may have not had the Gatorade in for the same amount of time as the others. Also how much we chewed are cheeks as well. This is effected by our day to day activities because people who eat more might have less cheek cells and those who eat less might have more. It could also be effected if you are under a lot of stress and chew the inside of your cheeks when you are nervous or are really stressed out. = = =<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">DNA Replication<range type="comment" id="498219"> Summary =

**//__ The Time My Friend Replicated Himself __//**

Hi my name is Fred. I would like to tell you of a story of how my friend DNA replicated himself. DNA was all-alone he went to make more of himself but did not know how. So one day he went to his dear friend white blood cell she said that if he wished hard his dream would come true. But as hard as he wished it did not come true. So he just gave up and sat all alone until the day I showed up. I looked at him ask why so blue. He said, ”I’m all alone with nobody to play with.” But that is not true you have all your other friends here. DNA said, “ I know but they are always working so they can not play with me. Is that all that is wrong. He shook his head and in a low voice said, “No, I went someone like me to play with.” Well your problem is simple just replicate yourself. “How do I do that?” he said.

Well first you must use your friend helicase over there to break you in two. Then you will use his daughter single stranded binding proteins to keep you apart. Next Peter or better know, as primase will give a starting point for your replication to happen on your leading strand. After that you go to peters mother polymerase, which she will replicate you. Finally you will start back over starting a Peter and down for your lagging strand. Before you are down remember that Okazaki fragments or grandpa as I call them are not all together so you must so use Miss Ligase. There you go DNA met your twin DNA and to make more of you guys just remember to do all these steps again. You can also remember this poem.
