Its physical characteristics would consist of the body of a dog and two different types of legs, the cat and the dog leg. It has two heads, one of the dog and the other of the cat. The mental aspect is that the dog likes bones and enjoys chasing cars, the cat side loves fish and they both love taking naps. This creature would roam the farm lands or be in a comfortable home with a loving and patient family. The binomial nomenclature name for my creature is the CANUS Famestarca.

=//Catalase//=






 * 1) //Discuss your results from the activity, discuss your analysis of the activity from the spreadsheet (what did you learn, what was surprising, what connections can you make between temperature and enzyme activity and the presence of catalase in certain foods?)//
 * 2) //Show the chart that you created.//
 * 3) //Develop a question about the catalase activity. Create a quality question about enzymes or enzyme action, etc. Either research to find the answer or use available materials to experiment to find the answer. If you research, list your sources. If you experiment, outline your experiment and explain your results.//

//1. I learned that hydrogen peroxide reacts to certain foods more than others. It was surprising how much the stuff bubbled up. The cold hydro peroxide had the highest average of enzyme action. The warm temp of the apple had the lowest rating like the room temp of the onion. However the onions data shows that the onion is affected almost the same way in all temps.

3.What exactly is a catalse? It is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms which are exposed to oxygen. wikipedia.... What influence enzyme activity ? Temperature pH Enzyme concentration Substrate concentration Ionic strength of solution The presence and concentration of any inhibitors or activators Cofactors and Chemical substances Wikianswers...


 * Biomolecules**//

1.The onion had no fat but it had starches and simple sugars. The apple had sugar and fat. It lacked starch in my data

2.Certain biomolecules will have the same catalase reactions. This is because, regardless of the food, what matters is the biomolecules in it.

3.The results that can be used to make a statement are that not all foods have the same biomolecules and that some could be put into groups that have similar biomolecules. It also shows that everything must be tested more than once to find the truth.

Light lab

Tested for 20 seconds

Chart-
 * light intensity || wavelength || Atp % || #atp at 20sec ||
 * 20 || 575 || 1.2 || 1 ||
 * 40 || 600 || 4 || 1 ||
 * 60 || 650 || 25.5 || 3 ||
 * 80 || 675 || 11 || 1 ||
 * 100 || 700 || 2.5 || 1 ||
 * 200 || 425 || 100 || 5 ||

I discovered that the light intensity level makes the ATP and the speed of the molecules go up and move faster when it Is at its lightest form. I found out that the atp level is at its fullest when the light intensity is set to 200 and the wavelength is at 425.
 * Summary:**


 * Light intensity**-Several measures of light in a row
 * Pigment colors**-Is a material that changes the color of reflected or transmitted light for the wavelength.
 * Light intensity and photosynthesis**- Is the amount of light the organism receives. Photosynthesis is based on light so there relationship is photosynthesis needs light intensity to work.
 * Wavelength and photosynthesis**- Photosynthesis also needs energy to work and wavelength is the amount of energy given out for photosynthesis to occur.
 * Wavelength**- The distance between successive crests of a wave.

Wavelength and light intensity are needed forphotosynthesis due to the fact that they create ATp and atp is a energy source for plants to follow through with the step of photosynthesis.

Pigments are important because they capture sunlight which provides energy.

1.5% solution was the best because it had an even amount of sugar. 3% and 10% were kind of outcasts because they are to little or to much concentration. 2.The dependant variable was the fermintation and the independent variable was the amount of sugar in each beaker. 3.A warm environment and not to warm and not to cold. A 5% sugar solution was best preferred because it was moist environment and a good sugar concentration. 4. 3% had risen the least. 5% seemed to rise the most and 10% was a little more than 3% but less than 5%. 5.Anaerobic respiration because yeast undergo alcohol fermentation which does not require oxygen.

DNA Electrophoresis
Cindy Kaiser, age 24, was found stabbed to death in the bedroom of her second floor apartment. Police detectives discovered skin under one of her fingernails and reasoned that she might have scratched her attacker before she was killed. No motive for the killing has been determined.
 * __ The Crime Scene: __**

Two suspects were discovered to have fresh scratches: __Suspect X: Martin Jones__ – Was the victim’s boyfriend. Martin had a scratch on his forearm, which he said happened while he was hunting grouse. Martin’s alibi cannot be supported. __Suspect Y: Harold Kaiser__ – Was the victim’s ex-husband. Harold had a scratch on his face. According to Harold, he cut himself while shaving. Harold said that he was asleep at home by himself at the time of the murder. The DNA from the skin found under Ms Kaiser’s fingernails was cut with two different restriction enzymes and amplified using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. Identical treatment was carried out on DNA from cells taken from the two suspects. In a normal crime lab, these procedures would be collected and processed using sterile technique. After PCR was completed, the police lab placed DNA samples into the following containers: DNA Samples: 1. Suspect X DNA fragments cut with enzyme #1 digest 2. Suspect X DNA fragment cut with enzyme #2 digest 3. Crime Scene DNA (taken from skin underneath victim’s fingernails) fragments cut with enzyme #1 digest. 4. Crime Scene DNA (taken from skin underneath victim’s fingernails) fragments cut with enzyme #2 digest. 5. Suspect Y DNA fragments cut with enzyme #1 digest. 6. Suspect Y DNA fragments cut with enzyme #2 digest.
 * __ Forensic Procedures __** :

Your lab group will use police lab electrophoresis techniques to separate DNA fragments in an agar gel. You will then compare DNA fingerprints to see if Crime Scene DNA evidence supports the guilt or innocence of one, both, or neither suspect.


 * __ Crime Scene Lab Analysis: __**

Make a sketch of your gel showing the bands of DNA fragments that appeared during the procedure you just completed. Make sure to label each lane with the appropriate DNA sample loaded into the well.
 * __Data__**:

1. Why do a series of bands appear in the gel? What is true of the DNA fragment band(s) closest to the positive end of the gel (the end opposite the wells)? Because some DNA molecules drag behind. The fragment bands closest to the positive end of the gel are the smaller DNA molecules. The larger DNA molecules drag behind and it takes them longer to move throughout the gel. 2. What caused the DNA to migrate through the gel? Since the net charge of the DNA chains are negative, they are pulled toward the positive potential my an electric field.

3. Would you expect your personal DNA fingerprint to be identical to any of the persons tested in this lab? Explain. No because no two people can have the same DNA. DNA varies in sizes. 4. Based on the results of your gel, what evidence do you have to present to the court concerning this murder case? Suspect two was the culprit because his DNA matched the evidence DNA. 5. Could these DNA samples have been distinguished from on another if only enzyme #1 had been used? Why or why not? No because there wouldn’t have been enough evidence to compare to.

DNA Spooling with Strawberries Discussion and Questions
1. Where is DNA found? Be specific. DNA is found in the nucleus of a cell and in the mitochondria

2. Is it possible to see and touch DNA? Explain your answer. Yes it is possible to see and touch DNA. We touched and saw DNA in our expirament

3. What did the DNA look like? Be specific. It was clumped and gooey looking. And It was pink

4. How did you break down the cell walls within the strawberry? Smashing it up 5. Explain how you were able to break down the cell membranes and nuclear membranes within the strawberry. Cold ethanol

6. Explain how the DNA became visible. It became visible because of the pigments in the strawberries.

7. Is DNA the same in all living organisms? Explain your answer. No only about 90% is the same. The other varies for each species

8. If you wanted to extract DNA from a living person, which cells would you use and why? You would want it to use muscle cells because they have a lot of mitochondria in the cells and from what we learned before mitochondria contains DNA. Including the DNA in the nucleus would be a great amount of DNA in muscles cells instead of non-muscle cells.


 * DNA Replication**

In the first step there is a single DNA. The dna is unwound by DNA helicase.



Now that it splits the left side gets a new side and so does the right side.



The DNA then bonds together. This is able to be done because of polymerase.



This is the end two strands of DNA.

Summary- It begins with one DNA strand and then the DNA is unwound. After that step the split DNA gain another side to make a whole.Then the old base reunites with the new bond to make two new strands of DNA. This is possible because of polymerase.


 * Cell portfolio**



It supports, provides, supports, and prevents.


 * Genetics**

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?)
 * The mechanisms that keep the cell growth in a orderly fasion stop working which allows the cells to divide out of control which produces tumors. The tumors are considered canceris.**

2. How is it diagnosed? > > 3. Who gets this disorder? Discuss percentages, subgroups of people, etc. Is the disorder genetic in nature or is it caused by something environmental? > **Both men and women can get breast cancer. If a child has the cells Br1. or Br2. They have a fifty percent of getting the mutation. By age 70 80 out of 100 women will get breast cancer, only if they have one of the two cells. Cancer is somewhat genetic if you are passed down one of the two cells you have a good chance of getting the cancer.**
 * **Nipple discharge exam, Ductogram, breast ultrasound, Magnetic resonance imaging of the breast, digital mammograms and computer- aided detection and diagnosis. (CAD),** **hormonal therapy, chemotherapy, and palliative radiation therapy.**

4. What are the symptoms of this disorder?
 * Swelling of all or part of a breast **
 * Skin irritation or dimpling **
 * Breast or nipple pain **
 * Nipple retraction **
 * Redness, scaliness, or thickening of the nipple or breast skin **
 * A discharge other than breast milk **

5.Summarize other information that is important. 6. What level is your disorder?
 * Cells BRCA1 and BRCA2 are usually associated with cancer. Cancer is a very dangerous thing and if you don’t find it in the early satage there is a good chance you might not survive.**
 * Breast cancer has many levels. Level one is when there is simply a lump on your breast. A level four is when the cancer spreads to other organs or even bones.**
