= = = = = = = = =Honey Locust= The scientific name for the honey locust is Gledistsia trianconthos L.

In my research I had a difficult time finding trees that related to the honey locust. But I finally found two, the Kentucky Coffee Tree and the Vine Wisteria. The honey locust is a deciduous tree, it is made up off pinnate leaves, it is also compound. It has a toothed margin. Three distinguishing facts about the honey locust is, it has one of the biggest trunks in Ohio, it also grows on rich, moist bottom lands, slopes, and meadows. And the branches often but not always have distinctive, branching thorns, not found on other trees that are native to North America. The tree is mainly used for posts, rails, railroad ties, and sometimes in general construction.

=Willow= The scientific name for the Willow is the Salix nigra Marshall. Trees that are related to the Willow are the White Willow and the Swamp Willow. The Willow is a deciduous tree, it is made up of pinnate leaves. It has a smooth margin and it's leaves are alternate. Weeping willow trees are used to create many useful things such as medicine and sports equipment. Three facts about the willow tree are that they can grow as tall as 10 feet in a year. Also, due to it's water absorbing properties, these trees are often planted in areas where unwanted pools of water accumulate. And finally, willows can be either trees or shrubs, depending upon the plant.

Liver The food I tested was the liver it was a brownish gray color and was just very thick. I found that there was starch, fat and protein in the liver. When I posted for sugar it came back negative, this surprised me because I thought that because it was once part of an animal it might have had some traces of sugar based on what the animal ate. I think that there should have been sugar in the liver considering that the body’s glucose is stored in your liver.

Egg Yolk: Madison tested egg yolk. When she added the Benedic’s solution to the egg yolk the egg yolk didn’t change color, therefore, the egg yolk is not a simple carbohydrate. The egg yolk is a starch carbohydrate, Madison knows this because when she added the iodine the egg yolk turned from the yellow yolk color to a dark blue black color. The egg yolk is a protein, Madison knows that this is present because as soon as she added the biuret solution the egg yolk immediately changed from yellow, to blue, then to a mauve color. The egg yolk also had a fat present, this was shown when the red interface line showed up after the Sudan IV solution was added to the egg yolk.

All foods:


 * __Cannellini Bean__**: Showed positive for starch and protein, while it also showed negative for simple sugars and fats.


 * __Liver:__** Showed positive for simple sugars, while it also showed negative for starch, protein, and fat.


 * __Egg White__:** Showed positive for protein, while it also showed negative for starch, fat, and simple sugar.


 * __Avocado:__** Showed positive for simple sugars, starch, and fat, while it also showed negative for protein.


 * __Potato:__** Showed positive for starch and protein, while it also showed negative for fat and simple sugars.


 * __Milk:__** Showed positive for fat and simple sugars, while it also showed negative for starch and protein.


 * __Egg Yolk:__** Showed positive for starch, protein, simple sugars, and fats.


 * __Peas:__** Showed negative for starch, protein, simple sugars and fats.


 * __Banana:__** Showed positive for simple sugars, fats and starch, while it also showed negative for protein.


 * __Egg White:__** Showed positive for protein, while it also showed negative for simple sugar, starch, and fat.


 * __Liver:__** Showed positive for protein and fat, while it also showed negative for simple sugar and starch.


 * __Apple:__** Showed positive for simple sugars, while it also showed negative for fat, starch, and fat.

=Cheek Extraction Homework=
 * 1) Not everyone had the same extraction results. Only one person in our group had an extremely successful extraction result, while the rest were not as successful, it was to the point of where the cells were almost hard to see.
 * 2) There were many factors that resulted in the low cell count; the extreme of which you were biting your cheek, someone could have bit their cheek a lot harder than another making more cheek cells extract, another factor being length of time the Gatorade was in the person’s mouth.
 * 3) The amount of DNA extracted affects your daily life is determined by a number of factors; one being what you would have eaten that day, if you have braces, the looseness of your cheek cells, and the amount of moisture in your mouth.

=DNA Summary =

Every cell in your body has the same copy of DNA, it all started from a single copy. Your DNA will copy itself billions of times in your lifetime! The original DNA strand is used to build the new molecule of DNA. Every copy of DNA will contain half of the original strand. Helicase, which is a protein, is responsible for separating the DNA, breaking loose the hydrogen bonds. Next, single stranded binding proteins attach and keep strands from coming back together. Then, primase attaches and gives a starting point for DNA to begin replicating. Primase is the enzyme that creates the starting point. Next, polymerase binds and replicates DNA. Polymerase is the initial enzyme that replicates DNA.
