 * 1) When you look at the three cubes, it looks like something different happened to each one. When you start to measure things and think about it, the same thing happened to each one. The solution soaked into each cube 5 mm so at the edge of each cube, there was purple 5mm into the square. After you do this, there are things that are different. Since the cube only absorbs enough solution to go 5mm into the square, there was still white in each square. One thing that was different was the amount of white that was in the middle of each. This varied with each square because of the size of each square. The bigger square had the most white because it was bigger then all of the other ones. The smaller the square was, the less white there was in the middle.
 * 2) The cell that seemed to be the least efficient at getting outside substances into the cell was the biggest cell. The reason for it being the least efficient was because it was so big. The solution still went 5mm into the cell, but since it was bigger, there was a lot of white that was still showing. The smallest cell was the most efficient at getting substances into the cell. One reason is because it was so small. Since it was so small the substance was absorb all the way through the cell leaving no white.
 * 1) I think that the distance of diffusion seemed to explain what I observed in the cell model. The reason I think this is because when we found out the distance of diffusion in each cell, that lead to me figuring out that the size of each cell played into everything. When I measured and found out that the distance of diffusion was the same in each one but there was a different amount of white in each one, I was confused. After I thought about it for a while, I figured out that it was all because of the different sizes.
 * 1) If the size of the cell is small, then the cell will be more efficient at getting substances from outside of the cell inside.

=Protists=

The Stentor can take on two different shapes, it can look like a trumpet, or it can contract and looks like a ball.

[]

The Stentor can swim freely from both of the forms that it takes. []

Stentors are found in freshwater ponds where they are attached to vegetation

=You are what you eat= To me, the saying “you are what you eat” is pretty self-explanatory. If you are eating health foods like fruits and vegetables and you have a well balanced diet, you will be health. When you eat health, you will have less of a risk of getting diseases. On the other hand though, if you are eating things like fast foods everyday and you don’t have a well balanced diet, you wont be health. When you eat like this, you will have a greater chance of getting diseases like heart disease. Last, the saying “you are what you eat” explains itself.

 * Processed Oatmeal**

Simple Sugar- negative

Starches-Positive

Proteins-Negative

Fats and Oils-Positive


 * Egg Yolk**

Simple Sugars-Negative

Starch- Negative

Proteins-Positive

Fats and Oils- Positive


 * 2% Milk**

Simple Sugars-Negative

Starch-Negative

Proteins-Positive

Fats and Oils- Positive

All of these contain Fats and Oils. Fats and oils are important for our bodies. Our bodies use fats and oils to protect our organs, benefit in the production of hormones, and they help move nutrients around. There are many different types of fats but some of them are good and some of them are bad for us.

=**Biomolecule extra credit**= Why do they still serve fast food if it is so bad for us? [] They still serve fast food to us even though its not good for us because it is cheep for them to make and serve. The foods taste good to us to so people keep buying it. The organizations that sell the food don’t care that It is not good for us, they just want to make money.

 * Protein Synthesis Review Questions **
 * 1)  What are the steps of transcription? First the DNA unwinds and the hydrogen bonds are broken, then the RNA bases pair up with the DNA bases, then the sugar phosphate backbone of the RNA is formed
 * 2) What are the steps of translation? MRNA COMES INTO THE RIBOSOMES. After this the ribosomes split into a large and small one. Then the ribosomes read the mRNA and the ribosomes translate into amino acids to from one protein.
 * 3)  List three differences between DNA and RNA- DNA is double stranded and RNA is single stranded; DNA has deoxyribose sugar, RNA has ribose sugar; DNA is made up of adenine and guanine,cytosine, and thymine; RNA is made up of adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil which replaces thymine.
 * 4)  List the three types of RNA. And state their function (what they do and where they do it) tRNA- transports things like amino acids; rRNA-part of ribosomes and mRNA- this is known as the messenger
 * 5) What enzyme is used to produce a new strand of RNA? RNA Polymerase
 * 6) Which molecule contains the genetic code? CHROMOSOMES
 * 7) Be sure you can transcribe a gene and determine the complementary amino acids.
 * 8) Be sure you can identify all the parts (see flip book requirement list) of both transcription and translation

= Cry-du-chat syndrome =

1. This is a chromosomal mutation

2. Some of the other names for Cri-du-chat syndrome are 5p-,

3. The symptoms of cri-du-chat syndrome- infants with this condition have a cry that sounds like a cat

4. This is not likely to happen to your child. 1 in every 200,00 newborns are affected by this

5. This syndrome is caused by the deletion of the end of a short armed chromosome 5.

=Intro activity to fuel economy= 1. The relationship between the fuel economy and taxes is that the taxes are half of what is paid at gas stations. 2.Below is a list of countries and there most often used transportations USA-cars and planes Netherlands-trains France-trains Germany-Bikes, trains, and buses United Kingdom-Cars and buses, trains Spain-planes and trains Canada-Cars, buses 3. When countries use transportation's that involve carrying a lot of people, they have higher taxes then countries that use transportation that involves little people.
