1. The cubes each had the same amount of liquid absorbed despite the size. Each of them stayed the same size despite absorbing liquid.

2. All of the cells had the same amount of liquid absorbed, even though they are different sizes.

3. Calculating the amount of liquid absorbed. It showed that the cubes are proportionate.

4. If three cubes that are proportionate and of the same material absorb liquid, they will absorb the same amount of liquid.

DNA Replication is an important process because it allows cells to create more strands of DNA, which is needed for Mitosis and genetic material. DNA replication occurs during the S phase of mitosis, as extra chromosomes are needed to create two identical cells. Mutations are mistakes made in DNA strands in which two bases that aren't compatible are mixed. In most cases, strands with mutations aren't a problem, as DNA can still function with a small amount of them. Telomeres are structures on chromosomes that prevent chromosomes from harming themselves or merging with one another and lossing information. Okazaki fragments are parts of the lagging strand between DNA primers. DNA Ligase is an enzyme that binds DNA bases (and basicallly DNA itself) together. Telomerase is an enzyme that decides what the sequence of the DNA strand will be. Cancer is a mutation in DNA which tells cells to constantly reproduce, creating tumors in the body. Transplanted cells are cells that have been put into the body to combat cancer using good DNA. Cloning is the process of using an organisms body cells to create an exact copy of the organism. Aging is the process of the body where it becomes exhausted with constant use and eventually begins to shut down, leading to death in organisms.

You are what you eat because the things you eat are turned into the cells that make up your body. It is also because the things you eat is used for energy, which makes the cells in your body work. You are what you eat because when you eat something, you are basically using the food to make yourself grow. Questions: Is food really as healthy/unhealthy as everyone says it is? Does protein really help as much as it says it does? How long does food take to become cells/energy? If food is made into cells and energy, why is it bad to overeat? If you eat to much, can your stomach explode (for scientific purposes only)? Could you technically eat yourself?

Based on research, Simple Sugars SHOULD NOT be found in liver. The other carbohydrates are normally found in liver and meat. Others foods were different than mine because many were fruits, vegetables, or drinks.media type="custom" key="25086154"

DNA Review Question Be sure you can identify
 * 1) What are the steps of transcription? An mRNA strand finding a DNA strand, bonding to it, having RNA polymerase put information down on it, and exiting the nucleus.
 * 2) What are the steps of translation? The mRNA finding a ribosome to translate the information from the DNA strand.
 * 3) List three differences between DNA and RNA RNA has ribose instead of deoxyribose, DNA contains information, and RNA can take multiple forms.
 * 4) List the three types of RNA. And state their function (what they do and where they do it) tRNA, mRNA, and rRNA. tRNA transports anticodons, mRNA holds information from the DNA strand, and rRNA is the finished protein.
 * 5) What enzyme is used to produce a new strand of RNA? RNA polymerase.
 * 6) Which molecule contains the genetic code? Genes
 * 7) Be sure you can transcribe a gene and determine the complementary amino acids.

Fossil Fuels
 * 1) In smaller countries, the taxes are higher because less people need the fuel.
 * 2) In almost every country, automobiles are the most common and popular type of transportation.
 * 3) We can draw the conclusion that we depend too much on a limited resource in our lives and should find alternatives before the fuel runs out.
