flat =About Me:= I am a freshman in Punxsutawney Area High School. I run Varsity for Cross Country during the fall. I am going to try Indoor Track this winter. I also participate in Outdoor Track in the spring. I have an older brother named Kyle that is studying to be a PA at Lock Haven. Outside of school activities I like to hang out with my friends and read. I want to go to college when i grow up but I haven't decided what for.



=White Oak:= The White Oak's scientific name is Quercus alba. It is related to other oak trees such as the Red Oak and the Pin Oak. The White Oak is a Deciduous tree. The margin is rounded lobe. It is simple and has alternate leaves. This leaf has 6-10 rounded lobes. The bark is pale grey, scaly, not deeply fissured, and often flaky. A single White Oak leaf is 4 to 7 inches long. White Oak is used for barrels for wine and whiskey production since the wood resists leaking. It can resist leaking because it has tyloses that gives the wood a special cellular structure that makes it rot-. []

=Cucumber Magnolia:= The Cucumber Magnolia's scientific name is Magnolia acuminata. It is related to the tulip tree. It is a deciduous tree too. The margin is smooth. It is simple and has alternate leaves. The bark is light gray and is brown and flaky. The bark is quite soft. The leaf is 6-10 inches long. It has pinkish red fruit that resembles a cucumber. In parts of Japan, people use the leaves to wrap food. It is also used for cooking dishes. []

=Biomolecules in Foods:=
 * I tested milk and simple sugar carbohydrates and starch carbohydrates were absent. Proteins were present during my testing. Fats and oils were present in milk, too. As a group we discussed potatoes. We found that looking at the results that they all tested absent for sugars and fats and present for starches. Proteins were present except for one result.
 * Meats do not have sugars, some have starch some do not. Meats have fat and protein. Most fruits have sugars but few don't. Same with sugars, some fruits have starch. Fats and Protein in fruits seem to vary in the data as well. Vegetables do not have sugars or fat. Most vegetables have starch but a couple do not. Some vegetables have protein, while others don't. Egg yolks and egg whites show mostly no sugars or starch. Some have fat and some don't. All do show that they contain protein.


 * I though that there wouldn't be any fats in some fruits but surprisingly found that there was. I expected to see sugar in meats but found that there rarely was. I thought there would be sugar because meat usually has a lot of flavor and sugar adds flavor.
 * Some tests show that there isn't fat in fruits and some said that there is fat. Most fruits usually don't have fat. Fruits do have calories, but it isn't harmful to your body because they also provide your body with plenty of nutrients.
