Cow:    http://youtu.be/svw5KA8YlAA
Human:   http://youtu.be/eWPKEZAzP3M



1.  Why did you choose this topic? A few years ago i watched a movie called food inc and they showed a little bit about a cow's digestive system and i wanted to learn more
2.  How does it relate to what we have learned about the digestive system?this shows us that not every creature in the world has the same type of digestive system
3.  What questions do you NOW have about this topic/digestion? why do some creatures have different ways to digest things than others

Protein Activity

1. WHAT TYPE OF BOND IS FOUND IN THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE?(BETWEEN AMINO ACIDS) - The type of bond found is polypeptides
2. WHY DOES THE SECONDARY STRUCTURE FORM(ALPHA HELIX)? - The secondary structure forms an alpha helix because the negatives and positives of the bond attract to each other in a way that causes it to spiral
3. WHAT CREATED THE TERTIARY STRUCTURE? WHY DID YOUR PROTEIN LOOK DIFFERENT THAN EVERYONE ELSES? - The tertiary structure is created because the different 'R' groups react differently to each other. Everyone's proteins looked different because everyone had different combinations of 'R' groups acids.
4. HOW WAS THE 4TH STRUCTURE CREATED? - The fourth structure was created by 2 or more structures combining to create the bigger macromolecules
5. WOULD YOUR PROTEIN HAVE THE SAME SHAPE IF YOU CHANGED THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE? EXPLAIN. - yes the shape would change if you change the structure of the primary. All the structures rely on the primary structure!

Colon Cancer Surgery Post

What were you surprised by? -  i was surprised at how big the tumor was in size. i didnt realize that tumors can be that large

What was the most amazing part? -  the most amazing part was when the surgeon was pulling out the colon tumor from the patient

Could you relate the parts they are working on to the colouring sheet, diagrams, or notes we have taken? -  the colon is in the large intestine and we have been doing things like colouring sheet about the intestines and such!

What was the most interesting part? - it was probably when the surgeon was pointing out what part was actually the tumor.

 What did you learn from this that you didnt know before? - i didnt know anything about this before so i learnt everything, like how a tumor is removed and such things like that.
here is a link to the colon being removed!

Effects of Gymnastics on Joints and the Body

 Gymnastics:

Each year over 100,000 gymnastics-related injuries are treated in hospitals, clinics, emergency rooms, and doctors' surgeries in the US alone. On average gymnasts begin at age 4 or 5 and the retire around age 18 or 22. Girls retire earlier then guys because of how bodies are effected by the sport.


Gymnastics stunts growth - it is a sport the compresses the spine due to the pressures of tumbling and such. Most injuries caused by gymnastics that occur in early childhood usually last all through adulthood. Whether it be a fractured ankle, a hyperextended knee, or any other injury, a gymnast will feel the affects of the injuries for their whole lives.  http://youtu.be/k2zMeS5S7Cc  gymnastics injuries

Hyperextensions:

A hyperextension is the movement of joints/tendons/and, or muscles beyond their normal limits.

Hyperextensions can cause major injuries such as: torn ACL, or MCL in the knee, or torn cartilage/ or ligaments in elbows.

Some can cause bone fractures. These types of injuries can end careers. http://youtu.be/rtT3hZSETkE link to below hyperextension viewer discretion is advised you can not unsee this.
