 * My name is Emily. I enjoy gymnastics and shopping. My favorite colors are orange and pink. My favorite animals are zebras. The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Ruby and the Rockits, and Make it or Break it are the t.v. shows i like to watch best. When i graduate high school I would like to attend Clarion University and major in elementary education. After college I would like to start a family.**

toc =Create and Organism=

Once upon a time there was a very unusual caterpillar. His name was Larrie Peterson. The reason he was so different is because he wasn't just a caterpillar. Larrie had the body of a caterpillar but he had fangs and a cape. The cape was so he could fly, it acted as wings. He was also part mosquito as well, which is what the fangs were for. He would crawl up on someone or something then suck their blood. Which is how he would eat. Larry lives wherever you can find a whole bunch of leaves, preferably maple leaves, also you can find him where the weather is cool. This odd creature would be classified in the insecta group, or arthropoda. Nice as he is, if you trample his leaves he might be tempted to crawl up and suck your blood. Not to worry though, because it will only be a little itchy. He will cause no harm to you. So if you ever see Larrie just strolling about give him a shout out!

=Catalase Activity= 1. I tested liver and it had Fats and Oils, proteins. 2. Simple sugars have a catalase reaction. This is because almost every food contained the simple sugars. The others did not have catalase reactions. 3. The ground beef and the liver had bigger reactions. The raw meat had blood in it. And with it being raw that is probably why it did that.

Some information i found out about the liver is that it did not have as much reaction to the cold peroxide as it did to the hot peroxide. There was definitely a lot of enzyme action with the liver. There were huge reactions for each so therefore they were present.

1.It is the first step to the food chain. It helps the suns energy

2. Plants, algae, bacteria

6 molecules of water plus six molecules of carbon dioxide produce one molecule of sugar plus six molecules of oxygen
 * 3.6-H2O+6-CO2=C6H12O6+6-O2**

A water and carbon dioxide b. Sugar and oxygen c. The sun or ATP

5.. a. The leaves b. Mesophyll cells c. Chloroplast 6. they get water through the roots and the gas exchange through the stomata 7. it is a pore in the leaf stem. it is the part used for gas exchange during the process of photosynthesis. 8. Chloroplast- it makes food for plants and every other living thing on earth. 9.Light reactions. It takes place in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast. 10. Energy is made into ATP and NADPH. A water molecule will get split and release oxygen. 11. The calvin cycle(dark reactions) it happens in the stroma of the chloroplast 12. Carbon dioxide is captured and modified with hydrogen that helps form carbs. 13. They are connected because of the calvin cycle. This cycle uses atp and nadph that get sent over from the light reactions. 14. No. it doesn’t need to show what kinds of energy are needed to complete those processes of photosynthesis.

=DNA Replication Model=

the bases combine

=Cell Portfolio=

piece of meat ribosomes: make protein; convert into energy

=Genetic Variation=

1. What causes this condition? (There are two ways to look at this one - In terms of DNA, what causes the irregularity, and also, what can trigger this genetic change?) 2. How is it diagnosed? It can be diagnosed by an ultrasound before the baby was born. It can also be determined by a blood test
 * It is caused by a mutation in the DHCR7 gene in chromosome 11. **

3. Who gets this disorder? Discuss percentages, subgroups of people, etc. Is the disorder genetic in nature or is it caused by something environmental? the child gets it from both parents. If both parents have it there is a 25% chance the child will have it. 4. What are the symptoms of this disorder? The symptoms vary all depending on the cholesterol they can produce a mental illness, poor growth, clef palettes, malformed genitals, heart defects, sight and hearing problems, and problems feeding.

5.Summarize other information that is important. This disease occurs when a mutation causes the protein product of a single gene to be missing. Many physical problems can result from this.

6. What level is your disorder? Use this [|chart]. level one.
