=About me=



Hi my name is Heather Hoch. I don't play any sports now, though i played softball in the past. I love to hang out with friends at the home football games in Punxsy. I live out of town. My favorite football team is Philadelphia Eagles. I used to live in Brookville till i was like 4 and a half years old.

__**Starfish:**__

< Starfish

< Starfish Muscle =Witch Hazel= 2. Hamamelis Virginiana 3. 4. Provides food for birds, beavers, white-tailed deer, Eastern chipmunks, squirrels, and Eastern cottontails. 5. They grow in the forest. 6. It was used to reduce swelling and inflammation. Can also be used for facial care, soothing aching feet, and many medical uses. 7. Its long and the color of the twig is tan. 8. Witch Hazel is found in Nova Scotia, Ontario, Canada, and south to Florida and Texas. You can also find it in Pennsylvania. 9.


 * Quinoa**

1. Its originated in the Andean region of South America. 2. You eat quinoa if you like to eat cereals like corn flakes. 3. What’s interesting about quinoa is that if you didn’t want to use white rice you could use quinoa for cooking things like pudding, and with veggies.


 * Diffusion or Osmosis**

1.

2. The salt water potato and the regular water potato changed. The change the salt water potato took was the size made it smaller and the change the regular water potato took was that the color changed into a yellowish color. The salt water obsorbed the potato making it look smaller and the regular water made the potato change color. 3. The salt water potato experiment showed diffusion, while the regular water potato experiment showed osmosis.



=__DNA Replication__=


 * Step One: In this step, the DNA strand will stay the same.**


 * Step Two: This shows the helicase breaking apart the DNA strand at the end.**


 * Step Three: The DNA strand will then start to rebuilt the broken part.**


 * Step Four: There is now two strands of DNA that had gotten finished by the sugars and the phosphate bonds**

Telomeres- is an enzyme that adds telomene repeat to the 3’ and of DNA strands

Okazaki Fragments- the second type of DNA polymerase binds to the other template strand as the double helix opens, this molecule must synthesize discontinuous segments of polynucleotides called Okazaki fragments

DNA Ligase- found in non-dividing cells-used to help combine the fragments bad together

Telomerase- is an enzyme that adds telomere repeat to the 3' and of DNA strands

Cancer- cells that always have an abnormal karyotype- cancer cells can usually grow on much simpler culture medium- cells have no contact inhibition

Transplanted Cells- cells are removed from an animal and a person-they then look for what the cells are lacking and then replace the cells with new ones that will multiply and begin to heal the person/animal-the major problem with this is that the cells die after each use of the process

Cloning- replicating an exact copy of a DNA strand

Aging- is the progressive loss of physiological functions that increases the probability of death
