Cassidy

flat =About me= My name is Cassidy but my friends call me Cass. I am a freshman at Punxsutawney Area High School. In my spare time I like to facebook and hangout with friends. My favorite food is salad. I love Ronald Weasley from the Harry Potter series. I'm extremely clumsy. I have two little sisters, that act like devils. So far that's me.

=Flowering Crab Apple= The tree that I am currently researching is the flowering crab apple. Its scientific name distinguished by many factors such as hieght and color but the tree is part of the //Malus// "family". Some of his near relatives are apple trees, in which both families are deciduous. Its leaves are simple, alternate, and serated. This tree is a 'small' tree not normally growing higher that 7-10 feet, its flowers are very extravagant and potent in scent. Its brances are thin as well as its trunk. My trees major use is for decoration

=Norway Maple= Acer platanoides is the scientific name of the Norway maple, and some of his relatives include sugar, red, silver maple trees. The Norway is a deciduous tree that is simple with a lobed margin and alternate petiols. To distinguish the Norway maple you way squeeze node for a milky white juice, as well as broad leaves that resemble a Sycamores leaves and a grey brown trunk. The wood is very hard so is most commonly used for furniture building.

 * 1) For our food biomolecules lab I tested the bananas we did four tests, Benedicts, Iodine, Biuret, and a Sudan IV. The benedict test I did first you add a dropper full of banana and a dropper full of benedicts, you then add this to warm water for three minuets, and if it comes out orange then it is positive for simple sugars this test tested positive as well as the iodine test which turns black when in contact with starches, The Biuret test tested positive for protein turning a violet color, but the Sudan IV test was negative showing no fatty oils in a banana. My group also testes peas, spinach, and egg whites. The peas took the same test showing only positive for the Iodine and Benedicts. That means that peas contain both starches and simple sugars.

2. Meats ~ Sugar was not a common biomolecule in the meat section, though most contained fats and proteins. Only some said they contained starches Eggs~ The tests showed egg yolks were positive for all but sugar and the egg whites tests showed only protein was present Fruits ~all of the fruits z positive for sugars and most didn’t have proteins though most did also test positive for starches and some for fats Vegetables~ Sugars and fats were not common in the tests though depending on the vegetable proteins and starches were found 4. I was surprised That veggies didn’t have Sugar I thought that like fruit It would produce its own sugars. I was also surprised that bananas didn’t have proteins for many others tests.
 * Food: || Protein || Starches || Fats || Sugars ||
 * Egg Yolk || Yes || Yes || Yes || NO ||
 * Egg White || Yes || NO || No || No ||
 * Meat || Yes || Yes & No || Yes || No ||
 * Fruit || Yes & No || Yes || No || Yes ||
 * Veggies || Yes & No || Yes || No || No ||

5. Bananas do have protein but many peoples test showed negative another thing that should have tested positive was Veggies and protein.
