Elodea http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elodea
 * Elodea is also called the water weeds.
 * Elodea is mostly found in North America.
 * Elodea receives it's energy through photosynthesis just like any other plant, even though it is aquatic.

Elodea With Salt Water http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elodea
 * Widely used as aquarium vegetation
 * Provides habitats for aquatic invertebrates
 * Lives entirely underwater except for the small white flowers which bloom at the surface

Hydra > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydra_%28genus%29
 * The tentacles can be retracted to small buds if it feels harmed or attacked
 * They feed on small aquatic invertebrates including Daphina and Cyclops
 * They rproduce asexually by producing buds in the body wall

5. Some protists use cilia or flagella for locomotion. What exactly are these structures (and how are they different from each other), what are they made of, and what other uses are there for these structures (consider discussing other organisms that may have these.) Cilia are used as hair-like structures that are used to move the cell around. Flagellum is like a tail or a whip used to propel or move the cell. They are most made of microtubules and they are also used to move liquid past the surface of the cell.

6. What was different between the elodea and the elodea with added salt water. Account for this difference using correct terminology. The difference between the elodea and elodea with added salt water is that the elodea is in a hypotonic solution, where as the elodea in the salt water is in a hypertonic solution. The elodea is in a hypotonic solution because there is more water on the outside than on the inside. The elodea in salt water is the opposite. It is in a hypertonic solution because there is more water on the inside than on the outside, therefore water is going to leave the elodea in hope of balancing out the amount of salt on the inside and outside.

=Patrick Fedigan - Before=



=Jacob Horner - Beef=

The beef did not look as if there would be a reaction, but there was one. After approximately 30 seconds the beef began to bubble and break down. The beef definitely changed after the peroxide was added because it looks completely different from when the peroxide had not been added. The beef was a 4 on the scale.

=Patrick Fedigan - Liver= We tested the hydrogen peroxide with the Liver and I personally can say that it didn't make as big of a reaction that I thought there would be, considering that it was a animal product. When we used different temperatures it still didn't react as much as I has expected. On the scale, I think it was a 3.

=Michael Lin - Corn= When we tested the hydrogen peroxide in the corn it did not react the same as the animal products. When we used the different temperatures of the hydrogen peroxide the corn also did not react to the different temperatures. On the scale, I think this was a 1.

=Nick Constant - Peas= Compared to the other foods, the peas did not do anything because nothing about it changed. Also, there was no difference when we used different temperatures because there was no reaction. On the scale, this was a 1.



=Biomolecules In Foods Lab= 1.
 * || Monster || Peas || 2% Milk || Whey Protein ||
 * Simple Sugars || Present || Present || Present || Present ||
 * Starches || Not Present || Present || Not Present || Not Present ||
 * Proteins || Not Present || Present || Present || Present ||
 * Fats and Oils || Not Present || Not Present || Present || Present ||

2. In our foods, we tested to see if biomolecules were present. First, in peas, we found that there were simple sugars, starches, proteins, but there were no fats and oils. In the monster energy drink, we found that there was simple sugars, but there were no straches, proteins, or fats and oils. In the milk, however, there were no starches, but simple sugars, protein, and fats and oils were present. When we tested the whey protein, we found the same results. Starches were not present but there were simple sugars, proteins, fats and oils. I was some-what surprised to find out that peas and corn didn't test positive for fats and oils.

3. There were differences in the 2% milk and the whey protein for the Benedicts test. According to the fantastic four the Benedicts test was a negative. Some reasons the results might have been different are that they didn’t keep the test tube in too long or they didn’t keep it in long enough. Also in the group Chris Bosh the peas were positive in fats which is not true because all fats come from animal products and the simple sugars were negative which could be true but really unlikely because starch is stored up glucose and if starch is found in the vegetable which it was it would have simple sugars in it. They said that starch is found in whey protein it could be true because it could have a little of plant substance in there because they are still a considered a protein but not a complete one.

Guess - 28 drops can fit on the side of a penny.

TAILS:

First try – 11

Second try – 17

Third Try – 14

Average for tails: 14

HEADS:

First try – 25

Second try – 14

Third try – 16

Average for heads: 18

AVERAGE OVERALL: 16.2

Based on our results, we can confirm cohesion is stronger than adhesion.

AVERAGE OVERALL: 49.5

Based on our results, we can confirm that cohesion is stronger than adhesion.

=Light Intensity=

Data Table for Light Intensity


 * Maximal ATP % || Number of ATP || ATP’s Per Second || Light Intensity || Wavelength ||
 * 100 % || 10 || 1 per 6 seconds || 200 || 425 (nm) ||

When the light intensity is set at 200 and the wavelength at 425 (nm) the maximal ATP is 100%. When the light intensity is set dark (or the lowest it can go), it doesn't matter what the wave length is because the maximal ATP will always be 0%. Also, the light intensity is really what determined the maximal ATP. As long as it is at it's highest point, then there will be some amount of maximal ATP. We tried all of the different wavelength's, but we found that it is the highest at 425.

PRIMARY AND SECONDARY PRODUCTIVITY
Activity 1: Look at the following image and notice the numbers. What trends or statements can you make about the numbers and the places that are in the image? Places that get more rain and places like rain forests that are surrounded by organic compounds are clearly going to have a higher net productivity. Places like the desert where there's not a lot of water or plant life are clearly going to have a lower net productivity. What questions do you have? Why is the open ocean net productivity so low? I thought it would be high because there is a lot of plant life in the ocean, but then again there is also a lot of fish that eat the plants. Also, Is there really that much standing sugar cane in Hawaii? Put these observations on your team page.

=Oswald Avery Powerpoint= = = =Cheek Cell Lab Questions and Picture=



1. The five elements that make up DNA are Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus. 2. What is the function of DNA from day to day? The primary function of DNA from day to day is to code for the production of proteins that our cells need in order to function. 3. Describe how long strands of double-helical DNA fit into the nucleus of a single cheek cell. A typical human genome contains 3 billion base pairs for a total extended length of over 1 meter, all that information has to be stored in the microscopic nucleus of a cell. This is done through great condensation of DNA by coiling. 4. What was the purpose of using the detergent as a cell lysis solution? The purpose of using the detergent as a cell lysis solution because it disrupts the cell membrane and the nuclear envelope causing bursting and release the DNA.

5. The alcohol was less dense than the Gatorade and detergent, so the DNA arose to the surface to try to balance out equilibrium. 6. If DNA is so thin, how is it that we are able to see it during this simple lab exercise? Even though DNA is so thin, we were able to see it during this exercise because the alcohol had a low density, and the DNA traveled from the higher dense solution to the lower dense solution, making it visible. 7. Why is DNA referred to as your genetic fingerprint? Everyone has a unique fingerprint; this is why it is often used to describe DNA because DNA is also unique for each person. 8. Give some examples of how DNA is used everyday. Investigation of a crime scene and to trace your roots.
