1.The similarities the solution that we used went into each cell 5cm. Another similarity was when the team soaked each cubed cell in the solution for 10 min. The result was that they turned a purple color. The colors of the cell were light on the inside and purple on the outside on each cell. The difference of the cubed cell was in the biggest cell; the cell was too big for the solution that diffused to fill the whole cell. Another difference between the three was that the smallest cell was completed filled with the solution because it was so small. The medium one had .5cm the same as the large and small cube, but the entire cell was not filled. The final difference between the small, medium, and large cell was their measurement. Which was Large Cell: 3x3x3cm, Medium Cell: 2x2x2cm, and the Small Cell: 1x1x1cm.

2. The Large, Medium, and Small cells became very efficient on getting outside fluids or substances or solutions in, because each of them diffused.5cm. Even though all the cells are different size, but the biggest cell, which was 3x3x3 had more space when the diffusion occurred. Which meant it was the least effective because of the lack of time it had in the solution, in which it did not finish the diffusion process. Another cell is the small cell which was 1x1x1 which was the most effective because of the size of it the little amount of time filled the whole cell with solution.

3.Our calculation with the rate of diffusion was with each cell having the amount of solution that went through was the same at .5cm even with the difference in size of each cell. In that 10-minute period the diffusion took .5 per min. I believe this because each cell had a smaller space to fill, but the large one and I think is why the diffusion turn each cell the color and the middle of the medium and large cells middle staying white and the smallest one turning purple.

4.Hypothesis is that if the cell is smaller the more effectiveness the solution is going to have on it, but if the cell is larger the solution will not work as well as in the smaller one.

=Protists Lab=

=Euglena=


 * The Protist Euglena is unicellular
 * It is also the most widely studied and known
 * There are at least 800 species
 * Both found in fresh and salt water

=You are what you eat= You are what you eat means that if you have bad eating habits and eat junk food you going to be out of shape, obese, and unhealthy. It could also mean good things like eating lots of vegetables and fruit with getting all your vitamins and not eating junk food. You need consist exercise and plenty of rest and not staying up till 2 in the morning. By doing this you can prevent diseases and strengthen your immune system to fight virus’s and protect from harmful bacteria.
 * How many vitamins, nutrients, and minerals are in all fruits and vegetables are there?
 * What is the best food for athletes?
 * What foods can you get nutrition from?

= Biomolecules in Foods results =


 * Substance || Benedicts (simple sugars) || Biuret (Proteins) || Sudan (fats and oils) || Iodine (Starches) ||
 * Liver || Positive || Positive || Positive || Negative ||

The proteins came out positive. Proteins catalyze reactions in our bodies, transport molecules such as oxygen. Proteins also help the body build and repair cells and tissues. The simple sugars came out positive as well. As well as the fats and oils, but Starches came out to be negative. Which shows what liver does not have in it. Everything that it does have in it is good for you.

As the viewer can see the fruits in the table have almost all the same vitamins and minerals in each one.

 * Asparagus || Potassium
 * Broccoli || Potassium
 * Carrots || Potassium
 * Cauliflower || Potassium
 * Celery || Potassium

As the viewer can see almost all the vegetables in the table have almost all the same minerals and vitamins, but compared to the fruits theres a very small difference in the types of minerals and vitamins. I think vegetables are healthier for people because of the more amounts of the minerals and the vitamins that are in them.

What are the best fruits and vegetables for vegetables? The best fruits for an athlete are: Bananas, Oranges, Strawberries, and Raisins. These fruits are the best because of the high nutrient vitamins and minerals that are in them. Ex. Strawberries- Vitamin C, lots of fiber, helps control blood sugar, and helps fight infections and virus’s Raisins- Energy, endurance, iron, fiber, and potassium, Oranges- Vitamin C, Potassium, and helps with dehydration and fatigue in which it has many carbohydrates and contains water, Bananas- has potassium, salt, carbohydrates, and is a great source of fuel for the body.

=Protein Synthesis Review Questions= flat The RNA polymerase binds on to the DNA strand at the promoter region. Then it starts to unzip the DNA strand and then begins to synthesize a complementary mRNA strand. Once the RNA polymerase reaches the termination sequence, the mRNA strand breaks off and the RNA polymerase stops synthesizing. The mRNA strand then goes through the nuclear pore into the cytoplasm and binds with a ribosome. The ribosome brings in tRNA molecules with anti-codons that bind on to the mRNA strand and leave the amino acid they carry. The once the amino acids are bonded by a peptide bond on to the other amino acids. When it reaches the stop codon, no amino acid is brought in and the amino acid chain in complete. It then folds up into a three-dimensional shape in order to get its unique function.
