1. The pink substance penetrated all three cubes the same amount. Although, each cube had a different amount of space that was not penetrated by the pink substance.

2. The smallest cube would be the most efficient at getting outside substances into the cell because the outside substance could get to the entire cell. The biggest cube would be the least efficient at getting outside substances into the cell because it would take so long for the substance to get to the entire cell.

3. The calculation of how far the pink substance went into each cube represents what we observed in our cell models. This is because this showed us how something will penetrate a cell at the same rate, but it depends on how big the cell is to determine how long it will take for the whole cell to be effected by the substance.

4. If the cell size is smaller, then it will be more efficient. This is because it can get things it needs faster than larger cells. **Blepharisma**

· This genus is found in both fresh and salt water. It also includes about 40 accepted species. [] · Ciliates are generally considered the most evolved and complex of the protozoans. They are single celled organisms with organelles that are used for movement and food gathering. [] · If it lives in bright sunlit ponds it is usually colorless. When exposed to an intense artificial light, the pink pigment emits a poisonous toxin that completely disintegrates the creature. []

=**You Are What You Eat**= If you eat the right foods such as fruits and vegetables, your body should function properly. On the other hand, if you eat greasy fast food all the time, then your body most certainly wont be able to function at its prime. As long as you put good things in your body then your body will do good things in return. 1. What are some of the healthiest fruits for your body?

=Biomolecules in Foods= 1. I am testing egg white, and it does not contain any simple sugar in it. It also does not contain any starch. Egg white does contain proteins. The results were negative for the Sudan IV test, so egg whites do not contain any fat.

2. There is .06 grams of fat in each serving of egg whites. There is 3.6 grams of protein in each serving of egg whites. There is .23 grams of sugars in each serving of egg whites. It also contains .24 grams of carbohydrates, 55 milligrams of sodium, and 54 milligrams of potassium. All of the research was correct except that egg whites do contain some fat, and the test result came up negative.

=**Extra Credit:**= 1. Apples are considered to be the healthiest fruit for a person’s body. Apricots, bananas, berries, cherries, cantanaloupes, kiwi fruits and red grapes are also considered to be healthy fruits.

=DNA Replication= toc media type="custom" key="25076936"

=Protein Synthesis Review Question= RNA Polymerase binds on to the DNA strand at the promoter region. It starts to unzip the DNA strand and begins synthesizing a complementary mRNA strand. Once it is through, the DNA strand goes back together. Then, when the RNA Polymerase reaches the termination sequence, the mRNA strand falls off and the RNA Polymerase stops synthesizing. The mRNA strand then goes through the nuclear pores into the cytoplasm where it meets a ribosome. The ribosome brings tRNA with anti-codons that bind on to the mRNA strand and fall off. When they fall off, they leave there amino acids which form a peptide bond on to the other amino acids. When it reaches the stop codon, there is not another amino acid brought in and the amino acid chain is complete. It then has to form into a three dimensional shape in order to get its function. DNA: Deoxyribose, Adenine-Thymine, and two stranded RNA: Ribose, Adenine-Uracil, and one strand mRNA- messenger RNA, transport the genetic code from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. tRNA- transfer RNA, transfers amino acid to the ribosome. rRNA- ribosomal RNA, provide a ribosome and build proteins. =Protein Synthesis= media type="custom" key="25199890"

 * 4) Be sure you can identify all the parts (see flip book requirement list) of both transcription and translation.

=Polycystic Kidney Disease= 1. Single Gene Mutation 2. Other names include PKD and Polycystic renal disease 3. Symptoms include abdominal pair or tenderness, blood in the urine, excessive urination at night, flank pain on one or both side, drowsiness, joint pain, and nail abnormalities. 4. Currently, no treatment can prevent the cysts from forming or enlarging. 5. Caused consist of aortic aneurysms, brain aneurysms, cysts in the liver and pancreas, and diverticula of the colon. = = =Fuel Economy Intro= 1. What I noticed is that if a country has a high fuel economy, then usually their taxes are also pretty high. An example of this would be South Korea since it is in the average area for fuel economy, and on the higher end of taxes. Also, same thing applies for the other end if the fuel economy is lower, then usually the tax will also be lower. An example of this is the U.S. since they have one of the lowest fuel economies and the lowest taxes.

2. It seems like the countries that have lower fuel economy’s get around by their personal vehicles for the most part. The countries in the middle of the fuel economy chart transport mainly by busses, planes, and trains. Some do own their personal vehicles, but it is hard to get around in them because of all the traffic. The countries at the top of the fuel economy chart seem to have a very efficient transportation system. They can get around by really any source of transportation, but all of these are very costly.

3. The conclusions we can draw is that if your country has a low fuel economy, their going to have low taxes, and probably a little bit of a lesser efficient way to get around compared to other countries. And the same applies to all the countries as you go farther up the fuel economy chart, the taxes get higher and the traveling becomes slightly more efficient.
