flat =Cell Size Lab=
 * 1) Compare and Contrast the three cubes after they were sliced in half. The cubes were all similar because the substance penetrated half a centimeter in each however the first two cubes were not fully pink because they were bigger than the last cube that was only 1cm tall, wide, and long.
 * 2) Which “cell” seemed to be most and least efficient at getting outside substances into the cell? Explain. All of the cells seemed to have the same efficiency in getting outside substances into the cell because, the substance penetrated equal distance in all “cells”.
 * 3) Which of your calculations seems to explain what you observed in your cell models? Why do you think so? The volume of the cube seems to explain what I observed in the cell model because; the volume is what determines how far the substance can penetrate.
 * 4) Speculate on a relationship between cell size and efficiency. Your statement should resemble a hypothesis. If a cell is bigger its efficiency will go up because it has more area to perform its functions and its organelles can grow larger than normal meaning it could make more products in the same amount of time.

=You Are What You Eat=

You Are What You Eat I think that the saying “you are what you eat” is saying that what you eat affects your health. If you eat food with high salt content or high sugar content will make you obese, possibly give you health problems, and if it doesn’t do this high salt will coat your cells which is bad for your health. If you eat vegetables and foods that aren’t processed a lot your health will be good as these things have the vitamins you need to stay healthy and they don’t have the high sugar and salt content that is bad for you. Also, highly processed foods are bad for you and will give you health problems because of the preservatives and chemicals added to it in processing. In conclusion, I believe the saying “you are what you eat” means that what you eat affects your health.

If you have a diet of fruits, vegetables, and unprocessed meats all your life can you still get diabetes?

If you have a balanced diet of fast food and healthy food which will affect your health more? =Biomolecules in Foods Results= Egg Whites Simple Sugars- No   Starch- No    Proteins- Yes Fats and Oils- Yes Of the biomolecules that were tested for presence in the egg whites two were present and two were not. Proteins make up about 10% of the egg whites and were present in the test. Fats and oils also make up egg whites and were present in the tests. The other two molecules were not present and are not part of the make up of an egg white.

Ingenhousz- Jan Ingenhousz was a Dutch biologist, psychologist, and most importantly chemist. He is important because he discovered light is essential for photosynthesis thus discovering photosynthesis. He also discovered that plants use cell respiration like animals. =DNA Replication= media type="custom" key="25079308"

=Mutations= Down Syndrome
 * 1) Chromosomal Mutation
 * 2) Trisomy 21, Down’s Syndrome
 * 3) Low Intelligence, Low Motor Skills Ability
 * 4) 1 in a 1,000
 * 5) The presence of half or all of a third copy of chromosome 21.
