flat =Cell Size Lab= 1. The three cubes were similar because the solution went only 1 cm towards the middle of the cell. The three cubes were different because in the largest cube the solution did not go the whole way through to the center but in the smallest it went pretty much the whole way through. 2.I think the most efficient cell was the smallest one because the solution went the whole way through and the least efficient one was the largest one because it did not go the whole way through. 3.The calculation that I choose to show the to explain what I observed in the cell model is the largest one. The calculations are that is it 3x3, the area is 54 cm2, the volume is 27 cm3, the surface area is 2.1 cm, the distance of diffusion is 0.5 cm, and the rate of diffusion is 0.05 cm. The reason I choose this one is because you could see that the solution did not go the whole way through and you could tell where it stopped. 4. The relationship between cell size and efficiency is that the larger the cell size the least it will be effected. If the cell is larger then the solution will not be able to go completely in the cell or it will not effect the cell very much.

=Protist= This is a spirostomum. Spirostomum reproduce both sexually and asexually. (http://www.microscopyu.com/moviegallery/pondscum/index.html)

Spirostomum might be unicellular but they can still grow to be about 4 mm. (http://www.ask.com/wiki/Spirostomum&adt=0)

Spirostomum have the fastest body contractions of any living cell. The can go to about 25% of their body size in 6 to 8 milliseconds. (http://www.microscopyu.com/moviegallery/pondscum/spirostomum/)

=You Are What You Eat= I think the saying"You are what you eat" is very accurate because I believe that what you ear kind of describe what you eat. If you eat all junk food then it will probably show, such as they might be bigger because of all of the junk they eat. The people who eat healthy just seem happier and look better because they eat healthy. So I think that the people who eat healthy look better and have be tter attitudes. So here were my reasons that I think the saying "You are what you eat" is very accurate.

1. Is the food I eat considered healthy? 2. What foods do you consider healthy?

=Biomolecules in Food Lab= Testing for simple sugars in gatorade was negative. Testing for starch in gatorade was positive. Testing for proteins in gatorade was positive. Testing for fats in gatorade was negative. I found out that simple sugars are found in gatorade. I also found out that gatorade has starch in it. Gatorade does not have proteins in it. Gatorade does not have fats. I choose to compare gatorade to apple juice. Apple juice does have simple sugars but it lacks starches, proteins, and fats. So they both do not have proteins and fats. They also both have simple sugars.
 * || Simple Sugars || Starch || Proteins || Fats ||
 * Gatorade || No || Yes || Yes || No ||

=Biomolecules Extra Credit= 1. Is the food I eat considered healthy? The foods I eat are not considered very healthy because I usually eat to much food that are in the fats and oils group but I don't eat enough fruits and vegetables. I think now that I know how to eat and how much to eat of eat group I will try to eat healthier and better stuff. 2. What foods do you consider healthy? The foods that I would considered healthy are fruits and vegetables. The foods that I think are not healthy are foods such as Doritos and other types of chips.

=Phenylkentonuria= 1. **Single** **Gene** or Chromosomal Mutation. 2. Other name(s)? Deficiency Disease, Phenylalanine Hydroxylase, folling disease, PKU, and PAH deficiency. 3. Symptoms?Mental retardation, behavioral or social problems, seizures, tremors or jerking movements in the arms and legs hyperactivity, stunted growth, and small head size. 4.Prevalence ? A very rare condition. 5.Cause? A infected gene contains the instructions for making an enzyme needed to process the amino acid phenylalanine.
