@Alex E. @Dillon P. @Scott J. @Blake B. =Cell Size Lab= From left to right we have the 1x1 cube of agar, the 2x2 cube and the 3x3 cube before we put them in the solution. Here we have the agar cubes cut in half after they sat in the solution for 10 minutes. From left to right we have the 3x3, 2x2, and the 1x1. Area: A=3x3x6 A=54cm^2

A=2x2x6 A=24cm^2

A=1x1x6 A=6cm^2

Volume: V=3x3x3 V=27cm^3

V=2x2x2 V=8cm^3

V=1x1x1 V=1cm^3

Surface Area to Volume Ratio: 57/24=2 Ration is 2:1

24/8=3 Ratio is 3:1

6/1=6 Ratio is 6:1

5. Cilia are tiny hairs that a cell has that can move. Flagella are pretty much the same thing only they can be found in both types of cell unlike cilia which can only be found in eukaryotic cells. Both cilia and flagella are made up of an array of 9 filaments consisting of a complete microtubule, a partial microtubule, cross bridges of the motor protein dynein. The entire assembly is enclosed by a membrane that is an extension of the plasma membrane. 6. The cells are different because the cell membrane is right up against the cell wall in the elodea that doesn’t have salt. The cell membrane is condensed in the elodea with salt water. The cell membrane is condensed because the cell is reacting to a hypotonic solution. Hypotonic is when water moves from the inside of the cell where the concentration of water is greater to outside the cell where the concentration of water is lower.

=Enzyme Lab=

Peas
All of the reactions were rated at a 1.

Corn


The corn didn't react when room temperature water was applied to it so we ranked it as a one.

The corn didn’t react when cold water was applied to it so we ranked it as a one.

The corn didn’t react when hot water was applied to it so we ranked it as a one.

Beef


The hot hydrogen peroxide foamed up fast and foamed the most. Rated 4

The cold hydrogen peroxide foamed slower than the hot and didn’t foam as much. Rated 3

The room temperature hydrogen peroxide foamed the slowest and didn’t foam as much. Rated 2

=Scientist Research= =DNA= =Cheek Cell Lab Questions= 1. What are the 5 elements that make up DNA? The five elements the make up DNA are Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus.

2.What is the function of DNA from day to day? DNA contains the genetic instructions that control the day-to-day functions of your cells

3.Describe how long strands of double-helical DNA fit into the nucleus of a single cheek cell. The long strands of double-helical DNA fit into the nucleus of a single cheek cell because they are folded up several times.

4.What was the purpose of using the detergent as a cell lysis solution? The purpose of using detergent as a cell lysis solution was because it allows the DNA to be freed.

5.Why does the DNA become visible once the alcohol is added? DNA becomes visible when the alcohol is added because DNA is polar and the alcohol in nonpolar. The DNA is not dissolved and get suspended in the solution

6.If DNA is so thin, how is it that we are able to see it during this simple lab exercise? We can see the DNA in the lab experiment because it is a large group of DNA strands.

7.Why is DNA referred to as your genetic fingerprint? Sometimes DNA is referred to as your genetic fingerprint because no two fingerprints are the same and no two DNA strands are the same.

8.Give some examples of how DNA is used everyday. DNA is used in many ways everyday. For example, it is used in crime scene investigation, to look at your ancestors, and to find out who is at risk for genetic dependent diseases.
