flat = = =About Me:= My name is Morgan, I'm a freshman. I'm very athletic and play softball and basketball. I also stat for volleyball. I love summer because I can hangout with my friends and its warm. I usually go to the beach every summer which is the best. I love going to Friday night football games with my friends. That's a little bit about me.

=Staghorn Sumac:= The scientific name for stag horn sumac is //Rhus Typhina.// Staghorn Sumac is related to poison sumac but the poison sumac does not have the red flowers on it. Staghorn sumac is a deciduous tree. It's margin is pointed lobed, it is a compound and it is pinnate, the leaves are alternate. Three distinguishing characteristics of the staghorn sumac is the leaves color is medium green, orange to red autumn color. The length for the leaflets is 1 to 1/2 feet to 2 to 4 1/2 inches long. The leaf margins are acuminate serrate. A specific use of the tree is the berries are a great food source to wildlife. A lot of people use sumac to landscape. Staghorn Sumac is a great way to protect shorelines or highways since it is resistant to salt. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/54/Sumac_bob_3568.JPG

=Cucumber Magnolia:= The scientific name for cucumber magnolia is //Magnolia acuminata.// Cucumber Magnolia is related to the tuliptree. It is a deciduous tree. The type of margin is alternate, simple, entire. It is simple (pinnate). It has alternate leaves. Three characteristics are The cucumber magnolia is one of the largest magnolias. The flowers are typically small, yellow-green, and born high in the tree in April through June. The leaves are 12-25 cm long and 6-12 cm wide, with smooth margins and downy on the underside. The uses of the cucumber magnolia are they are grown for their value as shade trees. Aside from their ornamental value, several species are harvested for timber. Intensive breeding programs began hybridizing magnolias to develop more floriferous and hardy forms with a wider range of flowers. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ee/Magnolia_acuminata.jpg =**Egg yolk:**= I tested egg yolk and found that it is not a simple sugar because when I stuck the test tube in the hot water it did not change orange. But I found that it is a starch because when I added the iodine it changed from an orange brown to a blue black. I also found that it is a fat because when Sudan IV was added to the egg yolk there was a lightly colored line between the Sudan IV and the egg yolk so it was a fat. Then when i tested to see if the egg yolk was a protein I added Biuret to the egg yolk and found that it turned purple so it was a protein. Claire tested the Avocado and found that the carbohydrates were present while fats and oils were present but the protein was absent. The biomolecules that I found in the egg yolk that i thought was surprising to me was that it was a starch which surprised me because I figured an egg yolk would not carry starch but when I tested the egg yolk and added iodine to the test tube it turned from an orange brown to a blue black. I thought the apple would have protein because it its nutritional and I figured that there would be protein it it so i found that surprising. I figured there would be since it is a fruit. I also found it surprising that the liver did not have simple sugars because its meat and i figured it would be. The last thing I thought was surprising was that the avacado did not have simple sugars because it is a fruit and I figured it would have simple sugars due to it being a fruit. When i researched the nutritional information about some of the foods based upon my research I thought that the liver should have been positive in the simple sugars. I also think that the avacado should have a positive in simple sugars. When i researched nutritional information about the apple everything was present except for fat which matches the tests so I don't think any tests for the apple should be positive.
