flat =Cell Size Lab= 1. Although the cubes were all different sizes, there was something that was similar about them, and that is how far that the ring went in. Each of the rings formed at 0.5cm into the cubes, even though they're all different sizes. 2. I personally believe that the smaller cell is the most efficient, because the it allowed the substance to go the whole way through the cell, covering everything. But, in the largest cell, the substance didn't go in as far, and didn't even get close to touching the center of the cell. So therefore, I believe that the cell that is the smallest is the most efficient, because it lets the solution in the //whole// cell. 3. The measurement that I think I observed that explained what we were researching in the cells was the measurement of how far the ring came in, because it shows how larger and smaller cells act. 4. I believe that the larger the cell, the less efficient it is, and the smaller a cell is, the more efficient it is.

=Protist Individual Lab=
 * 1) The group has about 40 different species of their kind.
 * 2) Blepharisma feed on bacteria.
 * 3) Blepharisma become cannibalistic when food supply is short.

[] [] = = =You Are What You Eat=

When I think of ‘you are what you eat’ I take it a bit literally. Whatever you put into your body is basically what you get out. If you put unhealthy food into your body, you’re going to be really unhealthy when you grow up and you’re older. But, if you put healthy foods into your body, your cells with be healthier when you’re older. So really, the healthier you eat, the healthier you’ll be when you’re older.

Questions I have to ask: 1. Why does everyone always freak out about there being too many carbohydrates/cholesterol in foods? 2. Everyone always tells my brother that he doesn't get enough protein because he's a vegetarian, but that's not true, correct?

=Protein Synthesis Review=

The RNA polymerase binds onto the DNA strand. It then separates it and makes an mRNA strand, which then leaves the nucleus out of the nuclear pore, and is now in the cytoplasm. An anti-codon comes into play after the mRNA strand is in a ribosome. It makes a peptide bond and then the peptide bonds all fold up and make a certain protein with a specific function. DNA holds the genetic code, RNA makes proteins, and RNA makes different things that do several different actions that the body needs. mRNA – messenger, tRNA – translator and rRNA – Ribosomes RNA polymerase DNA
 * 1) What are the steps of transcription?
 * 1) What are the steps of translation?
 * 1) List three differences between DNA and RNA
 * 1) List the three types of RNA. And state their function (what they do and where they do it)
 * 1) What enzyme is used to produce a new strand of RNA?
 * 1) Which molecule contains the genetic code?

=Mutation Research= Resources : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragile_X_syndrome
 * 1) It is a chromosomal mutation.
 * 2) It is also called Martin-Bell syndrome or Escalante’s syndrome
 * 3) There are many physical and mental symptoms. It can cause intellectual disabilities. It can also cause an elongated face, large, protruding ears, and large testes.
 * 4) About 5% of people get this, normally they are only boys.
 * 5) It is a genetic disorder. It is a mutation on the X chromosome, and it is normally caused by the increase of the number of CGG repeats.
