Keegan+F.

flat =About Me= Hi, my name is Keegan. I am a freshman in the High School this year. I play football and I wrestle. I love to play airsoft with my friends. I have a brother and a sister. My dad works for the Pennsylvania State Police. I also have a dog named Molly. I want to go to college to become a Physical Education teacher.

=Honey Locust= The scientific name is //Gleditsia triancanthos//. It is related to the Black Locust. It is a deciduous, which means the leaves fall off before winter. It is a compound leave. It is smooth with alternate leaves. Its leaves are pinnate. The thorns on the wild trees can grow up to 20 centimeters on the branches. The thorns are green and soft when young, and red and hard when adult. The Honey Locust has fruit in pods. The Pulp is edible. The bark is brown and darkly colored for the most part. The hard thorns on the younger tree have been used as nails. The pulp can also be fermented to make beer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_locust

=Biomolecules in food= My tests on the avocado showed that there were no simple sugars, starch was present, fats and oils are present, and there is no proteins. My research says that avocados have a small amount of simple sugars. I also found out that it has no starch. Avocados also have fats and oils. Avocados have some portion of protein in them also. Most of the time my results were the same as everyone else who did avocados.

** Avocados **

 * || Present/Absent ||
 * Simple sugars || 7/3 ||
 * Starch || 8/2 ||
 * Fat and Oils || 10/0 ||
 * Proteins || 3/7 ||

One of my group members tested egg white. It only tested positive to Protein. Out of all the tests the only thing that tested positive out of the 4 tests was the same for all of them. So out of simple sugars, starch, fats, and proteins; egg whites only have protein molecules.


 * Dairy-** The dairy we tested in our lab was milk. Milk tested positive in fats and oils every time but once. It tested negative for fats once. And tested negative to starch and simple sugars every time.
 * Meats and Eggs-** The Meats and eggs we tested were egg white, egg yolk, ground beef, and liver. Ground beef and liver always had fats and protein positive. Sometimes they also had starches and sugars. It was also common that they had all of them (proteins, fats, simple sugars, and starches). Egg whites only ever tested positive for proteins, and proteins only. Egg yolks always had fats and proteins. It sometimes even had simple sugars, also some starches.
 * Vegetables-** The vegetables we tested were cannelini beans, peas, lettuce, and potatoes. Simple sugars were always missing accept for a couple peas. Starch is positive in all of these but a few. There are sometimes Proteins and fats but the main thing is that they all almost had starch. In lettuce most of the time it has nothing, but sometimes it has starch.
 * Fruits-** The fruits we tested were avocados, bananas, and apples. The majority of all the fruits had a lot of simple sugars. Few didn’t have any. There wasn’t a lot of starch other than in avocados. There was 0 fats and oil in apples, a little bit in bananas, and all avocados had them. There also was very little proteins in fruits.

I am surprised how bananas had so many that tested positive to proteins. Most of the time it was dairy, meats, and some vegetables that had the most protein, not fruits. I was also surprised that lettuce didn’t have any starches because lettuce is a vegetable and most vegetables had lots of starch.

I am surprised that milk didn’t show at least one simple sugar molecule. Milk is made up of glucose, which is a simple carbohydrate that makes up from 2% to 8% of the milk. So it should have had at least one positive result because if it had 8% of simple sugars it would be about 1/13th, which is a lot.

=** DNA Extraction Lab Homework **= Know one had the same extraction results in our group. There are different variables why it was different. We all have different DNA, we could have swished differently, and we also had different things to eat and drink. This amount of DNA is affected by your daily activities because of the food you eat before or how soon you had something. Also chewing could affect your DNA.

=DNA Replication Summary = The first step for DNA replication is the Hydrogen bonds, which hold the nucleotides together, break because of an enzyme called Helicase. Then it attaches single stranded binding proteins, which keeping strands from coming together. Then primase, which is an enzyme, gives the replication a starting point. After that, polymerase, another enzyme, replicates the DNA.
