=About Me=

Hello, my name is Shaylyn. I'm a sophomore at Punxsutawney Area High School. My birthday is September twelfth. I live with my mom and her husband. I have a younger brother, but I don't get to see him very much. My favorite color are lime green, turquoise, and hot pink. I can be very stubborn at times. I like to go on walks and take in everything around me and just think about life. I am really into photography, I plan on going to school at the Art Institute in Pittsburgh and pursuing a career in it. Photography has been a big part of my life for the past three years. I used to want to be a forensic scientist, however, I don't think I would be very good at that. I don't have the patience for it. Another thing I enjoy doing is drawing, I'm not the greatest ever. I'm getting better in time though. When I'm completely out of school, I want to move to a suburb just outside of a big city.

= = =Classification of Marine Bacteria= You are Methanococcus jannischii. Similar to you, this microbe is a bit messy. Its cell contents aren't neatly organized in much the same way that your socks never manage to find their way into a drawer! Like you, this microbe likes to lay low and is found on the "bottom bunk" of the ocean, near the sea floor. In fact, the individual in the image was sampled from a hydrothermal vent at a depth of 2,600 m (8,500 ft)! 1. The key is organized by opposites. Such as one choice may be narrow and the other may be wide. 2. The purpose of the dichotomous key is to identify and classify organisms. 3. Prokaryotes and eukaryotes, prochlorococcus and synechococcus, bacteria and archea, solitary and colonial cynobacyris. 4. Halobacterium

=Biomolecules in Food= I tested the cannelini bean for simple sugars, proteins, starches, and fat. The results for a banana, potato, egg white, carrot, onion, and apple are also on this chart;

1. What kinds of biomolecules are in each of the food substances you tested? Banana -contains fat and starch. Potato -contains starch. Cannelini Bean - contains protein and fat. Egg White - contains protein and starch. Carrots - contains fat and simple sugars. Onion - contains protein and fat. Apple - contains fat and simple sugars.

2. Do certain biomolecules have the same catalase reactions? Explain. I think they have similar reactions, not the same. Some reactions in the catalase testing were way different than the others taken for the same thing in the experiment.

3. What other results did you observe in the class that can be used to make a statement of what you have learned? Using the hydrogen peroxide to test, way a good way to help differentiate their reactions to it. Doing that, the objects tested gave a very clear result in it.

= =

2. How does hydrogen peroxide show that there is catalase? Hydrogen peroxide interacts with the amino acids in a substance that makes protons transfer oxygen atoms. Catalase is what turns the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, therefore adding more would make a reaction occur quickly to get rid of it if it were present. The bubbling shown after it is added tells if there is bacteria or not. Hydrogen peroxide also breaks down harmful toxins in the body. [|Resource.] [|Resource 2]
 * 1) I was surprised that some of the foods had pretty much no reaction at all. I was also surprised that a cannelini bean had about the highest reactions. Most of the results of the temperatures stay about the same, except for the banana.

=Chromatography Lab Report= The conclusion from the results that I have determined, is every plant has a different chlorophyll or pigmentation. Even in the plants that were labeled the same had different results. Some of the plants that were tested, did not turn out as they should have. In the results, plants b and c had similar results the whole way through, but others such as plants d and e had completely different pigments.

=Light Intensity Activity=

Different energy comes from different wavelengths, which results in how photosynthesis occurs. Depending on the light Intensity and the wavelength it is given at, will determine how quickly the process of photosynthesis will happen from the ATP. Having a lower wavelength and medium level of light intensity, gives the highest amounts of ATP.

=Yeast Respiration Lab=



1. My first conclusion was; if not enough sugar solution was added, nothing happened to the balloon. The second conclusion was; adding too much sugar solution was added, less happened that what it did with the two middle amounts of solution. 2. Independent Variable; The independent variable for this experiment was the amount of sugar put into it. Dependent Variables; The dependent variable was that there was the same amount of yeast in each of the tubes used. 3. Yeast prefers a warm environment. Yeast prefers a medium amount of sugar. If too little is put in, nothing happens. If too much is put in, something happens, but does not inflate as much as it would with the medium amount a solution placed into it. 4. As more sugar solution was put into the tube, the inflation of the balloon went up. Once the amount of solution got too high, the balloons radius, volume, and circumference started to go down. 5. No oxygen was let into the tube or the balloon while this was taking place, so I think type of respiration the yeast carried out for this was anaerobic.

=Class Traits Analysis=

1. I'm focusing on ear lobs and dimples. Having dimples is dominant, as well as having free ear lobes. Attached ear lobes and no dimples, are both recessive. 5 out of 11 girls had dimples, and 9 out of 13 boys had dimples. The trait being dominant showed in males, but not the females. 4 out of 11 girls had free ear lobes, and 11 out of 13 boys had free ear lobes. Again, the trait is dominant in the boys.

2. 9 out of 13 girls in first period have dimples compared to the 5 out of 11 in third. 4 out of 11 girls have free ear lobes in third period. , compared to 11 out of 13 in first. 9 out of 13 boys have dimples in third period, compared to 1 out of 5 in first period. 11 out of 13 boys have free ear lobes in third period, and 4 out of 5 in first period. Free ear lobes is mostly dominant in boys more so than girls. Dimples are about even with which gender they are dominant in but it doesn't really show through that they are dominant.

3. I'm going to look at no color blindness and brown pigmented iris. Out of 13 girls and 5 boys in first period, none had color blindness. Out of 11 girls and 13 boys in third period, none had color blindness. No color blindness is a dominant trait. There were 12 out of 13 girls in first period with a brown pigmented iris and 3 out of 5 boys. In third period, there were 6 out of 11 girls and 9 out of 13 boys with the brown pigmented iris. Adding the girls and boys of the traits together from both classes, there are 18 out of 24 girls with the brown pigmented iris, and 12 out of 18 boys with it. The trait is dominant, and the results show it.

4. I'm going to use the brown pigmented iris for myself and my parents. Brown eyes are dominant, blue eyes are recessive. My mom has brown eyes, so she could be BB or Bb. My dad has blue eyes, therefore he has to be bb. There could have been a one hundred percent chance that i got the brown or a fifty percent chance depending on how my mother got them. I have the brown pigmented iris trait, so I would be Bb.
