flat =Cell Size Lab= They all turned purple and they all penetrated the cell 5 cm. The biggest cube had the most white left over, the middle sized cube had a little less than the biggest cube, and the smallest cube had almost no white of the cube left.
 * 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. The smaller cell was most efficient at getting outside substances into the cell. It was the most efficient because even though they all absorbed the same amount of the substance the smaller cell was almost full of the substance.

3. Which of your calculations seems to explain what you observed in your cell models? Why do you think so? The calculation that seemed to explain what we observed in our cell models was diffusion. It showed us how fast the cells absorbed the liquid which we got .05 cm.

4. Speculate on a relationship between cell size and efficiency. Your statement should resemble a hypothesis. (Remember: Use an If....., then..... statement.) The bigger the cell then the more fluids it will be able to absorb. This was not true because they all absorbed the same amount of the fluid.

=Protist Lab=



Spirostomum

Three facts


 * This can grow to lengths of 4 millimeters.
 * The genus spirostomum contains some of the largest ciliates.
 * These organisms eat bacteria that swim in ponds.

=You Are What You Eat=

You are what you eat means that what you eat contributes to your body weight and how you feel. For example if you eat a lot of candy you will be prone to headaches and your stomach hurting. But, if you eat healthy then you will feel good and look good. Eating affects you in many ways including diabetes and health problems. If you can manage your diet you will be okay.

What vitamins are good for you? What fruits have the most nutrients? What sugars are good for you?

=Biomolecules in Food Lab=

1. I tested apples and was positive for sugars but negative starches, proteins, and fats and oils 2. Apples have a little starch in them but not many proteins or fats and oils so my conclusion is correct. 3. Banana: positive for sugar, positive for starches but contain more when green, positive for proteins, positive for fats.

What Vitamins are good for you?

Vitamins are a big part of what is needed in our body. They can prevent different diseases like cancer or heart problems. One type of vitamin that is good for you is vitamin C. This can be found in different fruits and vegetables that you eat. Second, is vitamin A is good for you and is one of the best vitamins that prevent cancer. Third, is vitamin E and it also prevents cancer. Vitamin B6 is also a good vitamin but if it taken for to long it can cause problems.

What fruits have the most nutrients?

One fruit is apples because it helps regulate your blood sugar. Next are blueberries because it is ranked highest in antioxidants of all fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants help with the nervous system and keeping your brain healthy. Finally, is the banana because it helps the cardiovascular system, it is a good source of fiber, and it has a lot of potassium.

What sugars are good for you?

One good type of sugar is called stevia. Stevia is one sugar that doesn’t have any calories because it is a natural sweetener, and it is a lot sweeter than normal sugars. Also, stevia will help with weight loss because it doesn’t have any calories.

=Protein Synthesis Review Questions= DNA unwinds and the hydrogen bonds break. Second, the free nucleotides from the RNA match with the DNA bases. Third, RNA sugar phosphate backbone is formed, followed the hydrogen bonding of the untwisted RNA and DNA breaking, leaving the new RNA free. Step 1. mRNA attaches to the ribosome. Step 2. tRNA’s attach to free amino acids. Step 3. tRNA carries its specific amino acid the ribosome. Step 4. tRNA delivers its amino acid Step 5. Enzyme hooks the amino acid to the last one in the chain making a peptide bond. Step 6. Protein chain continues to grow as each tRNA brings in it amino acid and adds it to the chain. DNA is a double stranded helix. RNA is a single stranded helix DNA is made of deoxyribose sugar. RNA is made of ribose sugar DNA has thymine as a pairing base to adenine, RNA has Uracil in place of thymine as a pairing base to adenine. mRNA, carries genetic information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. tRNA brings amino acids to ribosomes during protein synthesis in the nucleolus. rRNA guides the translation of mRNA into a protein in the nucleoli. RNA polymerase DNA
 * 1) What are the steps of transcription?

=Polycystic Kidney Disease=
 * 1) Single gene mutation
 * 2) Autosomal dominant PKD, Autosomal recessive PKD
 * 3) High blood pressure, Back or side pain, Headache, Increase in the size of your abdomen, Blood in your urine, Frequent urination, Kidney stones, Kidney failure, Urinary tract or kidney infections
 * 4) Keep your kidneys clean by managing you blood pressure
 * 5) This disease is caused by being inherited or developed by people who have serious kidney problems.

=Intro activity to fuel economy=
 * 1) The less money per liter of gas is taxed less than if a country cost more per liter of gas.
 * 2) The most popular type of vehicle used by these countries is the car and airplane.
 * 3) We can say that if we use less gas then the fuel economy wouldn't be so expensive.
