Tasha+H.

flat =About Me= Hi, my name is Tasha. I like riding four wheelers, my favorite subject in school is health, and my least favorite part of school is waking up early. When I grow up I want to have a job in the medical field. A cardiologist perhaps? My favorite part of the year is summer.

=Live Oak= 1. Live Oak 2. //Quercus// Virginiana 3. Black oak, Chesnut oak, Scarlet oak, White oak. 4. Deciduous 6. The live oak has a smooth margin, is simple, and has Alternate leaves. 7. Has a wide spreading crown, flared at the base of the trunk and the bark is reddish-brown in color and roughly ridged. 8. Good to build structural beams, shipbuilding, and used for places that need to be built with strength and durability. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quercus_virginiana

=**Basswood**= 1. Basswood 2. //Tilia// americana 3. Red mulberry 4. Deciduous 6. Finely Serated margin, Simple, and Alternately Arranged. 7. Can be identified by its large, heart shaped leaves. 8. Good for making perfumes and for bee-keepers because of the high pollen count. =http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilia=

=Biomolecules in Food Lab= I did my test on lettuce, it came out negative for simple sugars, negative for starches, negative for proteins, and negative for fats and oils. A different person in my lab group did their test on milk the results were negative for simple sugars, negative for starch, present for proteins, and present for fats and oils.

One of the biomolecules in the foods that surprised me was that all three of the avocados tested present for fats and oils, this surprised me because avocados are good for you, and when something's healthy you don't expect it to have lots of fat and oil in it. One of the foods that didn't have a biomolecule that I thought it would is the apple tested negative 5 out of the 6 times it was tested for proteins. The reason I thought apples would have proteins is because they're really healthy for you, and they're supposed to make your teeth stronger.

=DNA Homework Question= Yes, everyone in my group got about the same results. This is the case because every living organism has DNA, and about the same amount of DNA. The amount of DNA you extract is affected by the stuff you do during your day. For example if you chew gum you may pull more cheek cells out of your skin.

=DNA Replication Summary =

DNA has to replicate because whenever a new organism is created it gets some cells from its mother, and some from its father, the res it must create. The first step that happens in DNA replication is an enzyme that breaks apart hydrogen bonds called helicase breaks DNA down the center. This creates two separate strands. The top strand is called the leading strand and the bottom is called the lagging strand. To make sure the two strands stay apart, a single stranded binding protein is added. This protein keeps them from coming together. Next the leading strand works on replacing its missing side. Primase, and enzyme that gives a starting point binds to the end of the leading strand. The leading strand goes 3’ to 5’, so the primase moves left to right. Then polymerse, an enzyme that replicates DNA builds up the rest of the complementary strand. Things go just a little different for the lagging strand. The lagging strand is 5’ to 3’, so it builds up right to left. The building always has to start at the 3’ end. Instead of a polymerse enzyme the lagging strand uses Okazaki fragments. They bind small groups of the bases at a time. To make sure the Okazaki fragments stay together ligose joins them together. This is the process by which DNA replicates.
