flat =**Analysis:**= 1. Compare and contrast the three cubes after they were sliced in half. 2. Which "cell" seemed to be most and least efficient at getting outside substances into the cell? Explain. 3. Which of your calculations seems to explain what you observed in your ? Why do you think so? 4. Speculate on a relationship between cell size and efficiency. Your statement should resemble a hypothesis. (Remember: Use an If....., then..... statement.)
 * The three cubes after they were sliced in half were the same in color and texture but the amount left to penetrate was different because of the size of the cubes.
 * The "cell" that seemed to be most efficient at getting throughout the cell was the smaller cells because it smaller and the substance didn't have as much material to penetrate. While the less efficient bigger "cell" had more to penetrate so it didn't get that far.
 * I feel that the calculation that seems to explain what I observed in my cell model is perimeter because in order to create the cell membrane and cell wall you had to put it on the outside of the cell just like the perimeter is the outside of a cell.
 * If a cell is a different size than another then the efficiency of the substance there in will still penetrate the same amount but it won't appear that way because of the sizes.

 * Blepharisma is a group of about 40 other sub spices and can be found in both salt water and fresh water.
 * Blepharisma are mainly noted for there pinkish-redish coloring along with there size and shape.
 * Blepharisma often eat bacteria, flagellate algae, and rotifers because they are noticeably smaller. Also the belpharisma have showed signs ofcannibalism which results in gigantism for the Belpharisma. (All of this information was found on

=You are what you eat:= The saying you are what you eat mean to me that everything you eat is used for energy therefore if you eat unhealthy foods you will probably be sluggish, but if you eat healthy then you will most likely be more energetic.


 * Pretzels are a good thing to eat on halftimes of games
 * Don’t drink pop before physical activity
 * Eat protein after working out
 * You should drink about 10 cups of water for every pound you lose after working out
 * You should drink 8 8oz. glasses of water a day

=Biomolecules in Food Lab:= 1. Testing for Simple sugars in an onion- Negative 2. Testing for Starches in an onion- Negative 3. Testing for Protein- Negative 4. Testing for Fats and Oil- Negative
 * This data found results that onions are negative and do not contain simple sugars.
 * The data found results that onions are negative which means they don't contain starches.
 * The data found results that onions are positive and do contain very small amounts of protein.
 * The data found found results that onions are positive and do contain a extraordinarily small amount of fats and oils.

Testing other biomolecules:
 * The biomolecules I choose to compare are corn and peas, both common house hold foods. In the test they showed that peas have proteins but not simple sugars, starches, or fats and oils. Unlike corn that contains starches and proteins, but not simple sugars and fats and oils. It isn't a surprise that to me that these to vegetables don't contain the same biomolecules.Corn is very good for your body for example, it contains high amounts of fiber as well as many vitamins.One Vitamin that is plentiful in corn is folic acid which helps prevent tubular birth defects and heart disease. Peas also have lots of benefits such as many different types of nutrients and protein, there very filling and are proven to reduce the risk of heart disease as well. Avid pea eaters are also known to have low blood pressure and less of a risk to get diabetes.

=Digestion Of Carbohydrates:= 1. Where is sucrose digested in the body? Sucrose is digested in the small intestine

2. What monomers make up a sucrose molecule? Glucose and Fructose

3. Which enzyme breaks apart sucrose? Sucrase

4. Why is lactose a problem for 50% of people? Because our bodies stop production of the milk tolerant enzyme lactase and start producing sucrase.

5. What is the enzyme that breaks apart lactose? Why do many people not have enough of this enzyme? Lactase breaks apart lactose, and many people don’t have this enzyme because it is only produced in the first 3-5 years of life. After that production stops.

6. What happens if lactose makes it to the large intestine? It will become swollen and full.

7. What enzyme breaks apart starches? What monosaccharide is broken down into? Amylase breaks apart starches. And it goes from a starch to a glucose.

8. Where does the hydrolysis of starch begin in the body? Your mouth

1.Why does a strawberry not cause a sugar crash like candy does? Explain what the sugar crash is. Strawberry sugar keeps your blood glucose level sustained where as candy sugar gives you the feeling of wanting to eat more and then you will have a sugar crash where your feel irritated and are very sluggish.

2. What is the best source of sugars for our body? Sugars found in complex carbohydrates are the best for us. Complex carbohydrates are found in fresh fruits and vegetables.

 * = Robertsonian Translocation =


 * Chromoaomal Mutation
 * It usually detected at birth by genetic testing so their isn’t any real synotoms at first.
 * One in every thousand newborns
 * ** Robertsonian translocation ** (ROB) is a rare form of chromosomal rearrangement that in humans occurs in the five acrocentric chromosome pairs, namely 13, 14, 15, 21, and 22. Other translocations occur but do not lead to a viable fetus.
