These are our measurements.

This is our work as to how we found all of our measurements.

This is before we soaked it in the solution for 10 minutes.

This is what it looked like after we soaked it in solution for 10 minutes.

=Protist Lab=

Eldoea is widely used as vegetation in aquarium.

(http://ead.hemocentro.fmrp.usp.br/english/index.php/publication/science-in-focus/210-elodea-algae-no-aquatic-plant-)

Eldoea is because a harmful plant in Europe, Australia, Africa, Asia, and New Zealand.

Eldoea has translucent leaves.

If you cut a hydra in half, it will make two separate hydras that can both live and function on their own due to regeneration.

[]

To move, a hydra either pulls itself with it’s tentacles or do somersaults.

[]

To attach themselves to objects in the water, they secrete an adhensive substance.

5. Cilia are short and there are hundreds of cilia per cell while flagella are long and a cell has 1-8 of them. They are both hair like structures that are used to help the cell move around. A flagellum is made of nine fused microtubules doublets. Inside both the flagellum and cilium is a microtubule cytoskeleton. They are also used as sensory organs to find prey for the cells and to catch particles and fluids like the epithelial lining around the lungs. 6. The elodea cell that doesn’t have salt added to it was in an isotonic solution so the water went in and out in equal concentration. The elodea cell that was in salt water was in a hypertonic solution so it went through plasmolysis or the shrinking of the protoplast because the water inside the cell went outside of the cell to equal out the concentration of salt. The cell membrane in turn shrunk which caused the chloroplasts to be squished together and went faster inside of the cell. = = =Biomolecules In Food Lab=



The biomolecules that we tested for are simple sugars, starches, proteins, fats, and oils. We were really surprised that there weren't any sugars in gatorade, since it seems as though it would be very sugary. We were surprised that there were not proteins in apples and apple juice, because they're good for you, and we just generalized that there would be proteins in it. Apples and apple juice were extremely similar in results, which we estimated was going to happen, because apple juice is made with apples, obviously.

Our chart was a bit different than others, but we got almost the same thing that the other chart got. I believe that the results that we got were different because we may have not let some of them sit long enough, or we may have not heated the materials the same way that the others did. =Enzymes Lab=









=Light Intensity Activity=

The highest ATP that we could make was 85%. This was with 200 light intensity, with a wavelength of 65, while our lowest ATP production was 1.2%. The light intensity was 80, and the wavelength was 750. This plant would clearly not survive long.

Questions

Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Phosphorus are the 5 elements of DNA. DNA helps us to go through respiration and replace dead cells. It also helps with our body functions and everything that we do. They condense and coil together to make them extremely small so that they can fit into the nucleus It disrupts the cell membrane, so that the DNA can go free. DNA is insoluble in a cold alcohol solution and precipitates out of solution. There is so much DNA, that with all of it being together, you could see it. It’s basically just like strands of hair, you can see it when there’s a lot of it, but you cannot see much when there’s only a few. No one’s DNA is exactly the same, just like someone’s thumb print. Some functions of DNA every day are that they help us to do respiration, copy DNA, and replace the cells that we lose during the day.
 * 1) What are the 5 elements that make up DNA?
 * 1) What is the function of DNA from day to day?
 * 1) Describe how long strands of double-helical DNA fit into the nucleus of a single cheek cell.
 * 1) What was the purpose of using the detergent as a cell lysis solution?
 * 1) Why does the DNA become visible once the alcohol is added?
 * 1) If DNA is so thin, how is it that we are able to see it during this simple lab exercise?
 * 1) Why is DNA referred to as your genetic fingerprint?
 * 1) Give some examples of how DNA is used everyday.

This is our best picture of the DNA that we got.
