Protein Lab

Questions
1) The bond Found between amino acid is Peptide bond.

2) The secondary structure is formed between the amino acid, this causes the chain to twist.

3)  It is due to the interactions between R groups, convalent bonds, it bonds, repulsion. It depends on primary structure in the a.a sequence. My protein was different because of the letters.

4) Two or more polypeptides stick together.

5) the bonds between amino acids would be the same, but the interactions  between R groups / side chains would be different because of different placement of amino acids.

Colon Cancer

The Sunnybrook colon cancer was great, and a horrifying experience. I couldn't watch the video for to long because it go very disturbing, for instance, I wouldn't have believed that they used staples and sewing string for surgery. I was shocked at how surgeons are able to withstand the terror and be so precise and accurate in there surgeries. The worst part for me was when they finally removed the colon, it was so large and to only imagine that the small intestine is several times larger is mind blowing! Overall this was a great learning tool and really helped me understand what we've been going over in class due to all the questions they answered on there twitter.

Lab




The two test tubes of lemon lime before addind CO2 and aerating the control tube on the left. Both liquids are clear, like water.


This is after exhaling co2 and thebone with the straw looked salty and white an the other test tube was still clear



After blowing co2 into one for 5 mins changed yellow after ph identification liq andthe other one turned green

The Respiratory System

COOL FACT:
You lose a lot of water just by breathing.Breathing allows you to take in the oxygen your cells need and expel carbon-dioxide waste. But when you exhale, you also breathe out a lot of water.




How much water do you lose from breathing? When at rest, humans exhale up to 17.5 milliliters (0.59 fluid ounces) of water per hour, according to a 2012 article in the journal Polish Pneumonology and Allergology. But you lose about four times that amount when you exercise, the study said.

Dislocated Shoulder

Dislocated shoulder. This is when a fall or blow causes the bone to pop out of the shoulder socket. Unlike a lot of joints in your body -- your elbow, for instance -- the shoulder is incredibly mobile.You might get a separated shoulder or a dislocated shoulder by:
  • Falling onto your shoulder, especially on a hard surface
  • Being hit in the shoulder
  • Trying to break a fall with your hand
Dislocated shoulders can also result from a sharp twisting of the arm. Sports that pose a higher risk of these two injuries are:
  • Football
  • Hockey
  • Rock climbing
  • Rugby
  • Soccer
  • Skiing
  • Volleyball
I chose to pick this specific joint because I workout and play a lot of sports and this would be very scary to happen to me.
