2nd Tree Identification = The name of my tree was the Sweet Birch. The Scientific name is //Betula lenta.// Some other trees it is related to are Black Birch, Cherry Birch, Mahogany Birch, and Spice Birch. Sweet Birch is a deciduous tree. The type of margin is unevenly saw toothed, its simple,and its alternate. To give a specific use of the tree Sweet Birch the sap flows about a month later than maple sap, and much faster. The trees can be tapped in a similar fashion, but must be gathered about three times more often. Birch sap can be boiled the same as maple sap, but its syrup is stronger (like molasses). That is information I have collected.



= = =Biomolecules in Foods= The food that i done was the apple. This apple was a simple sugar, it had no starch. It did have a little bit of proteins, and it did not have any fats or oils. Another thing that one of my group members did was the egg yolk. The egg yolk is not a simple starch, it was a starch. This was a fat and it did have protein.

Apple
 * Simple Sugar: Present
 * Starches: Absent
 * Proteins: Absent
 * Fats and Oils: Absent

I tested the apple to see if it was a simple sugar, a starch carbohydrate, to see if it had any proteins, and for fats and oils. The apple was a simple sugar because the color change from blue to a green to a yellow,orange,redish. There were no starches present in this test because the liquid didn't change from a orange/brown to blue/black. In this test the proteins were absent. They were absent because the color didn't change from blue to mauve. The apple did not have any fats or oils. I did the spinach for bonus. The spinach was not a simple sugar. It has no starch. The spinach has no proteins. It did not have any fats or oils.

=The cheek cell lab= No, the results in the group was different and in no way where they the same. Some of the difference is by how long and how hard you scraped the sides of your cheeks, too. The DNA shows our individually traits. The amount of my DNA is affected by my day-by-day activities because a lot is by what you eat and what you drink.
