Hydra are related to animals such as jellyfish and corals. Hydra eat animals called Daphnia. Secretes a sticky fluid that gives it adhesive or sticky properties. 5.

6. In the elodea with normal water, the cell takes the water in so they look larger and colored lighter. This is because the cell is in a hypotonic solution. Hypotonic means there is less solute outside the cell than inside it. In the Elodea with salt water, the cell is taking the salt in which is causing it to shrink and look smaller and more dense. This is because it is in a hypertonic solution, which is when there is more solute outside the cell than inside it.

the beef was the most bubbly when we added the warm peroxide. The the cold was better than room temperature.



The liver seemed to be the most bubbly when we added the warm and cold peroxide but not as bubbly when we added the room temperature. The corn didn't seem to bubble at all I think it is because there is no parts of and animal in there. The peas didn't bubble at all either because it contained no part of an animal.

=Biomolecules in Food Lab= 1. == 2. In the beef, I am not very surprised in the things that we found, although I am surprised about some things we found in the avocado. I am surprised that the avocado is positive in fats and oil. I am surprised because avocado does not seem like it would have fats and oils in it. It doesn’t seem oily or fatty at all. I always though of an avocado as having a fruity substance. 3. Yes, there were some differences. Some of the reasons that there might be differences is that we did not preform the testing correctly and or they did not complete the testing correctly. Another reason they might be different is because we read the results wrong.

Scientist Research

Questions:
1. The 3 elements that make up DNA are Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, and Nitrogen.

2. The day-to-day function of DNA is to direct the functioning of cells because the DNA holds the genetic instructions for cells.

3. A long strand of DNA can fit into a single cell because the strand will tightly wind, fold, and coil itself up to fit into the cell.

4. The detergent opens the cell by destroying the membranes that protects the cells and releases the DNA.

5. The DNA becomes visible because DNA is not soluble in alcohol.

6. We are able to see the DNA that was extracted because of the amount of DNA that we collected. The DNA that we collected all came together making it look like mucous.

7. DNA is known as the genetic fingerprint because it holds all of your genes and it is like a key telling you about all of your traits.

8. DNA can be used for things like solving a crime scene, identifying people who are at risk for having a genetic disease, identifying a body, make up our personality and body characteristics and trace through someone’s ancestors.
