Structure and Function of Cells

Part 1 Milk

The milk started to curdle and had a film on the top after two days. It would have been more advanced except that my apartment is usually cool and finding a warm place is difficult. I think that if left longer that the fat would totally separate from the H2O. If I placed it in the windowsill in the sun the process would be much faster.   

The milk right after I poured it.

The milk day two starting to curdle

Part 2 Juice

When I added the juice to the room temperature water it fully mixed immediately.

 

  

The boiling water mixed fully mixed as well but not as fast.

 The ice water took the longest and only mixed at the bottom where the ice wasn’t.  

I think that when I added the juice to the room temperature water in mixed faster because it was basically the same temperature. This resulted in the molecules not having to adjust to the change in temperature. When I added the juice to the ice water it mixed rather slowly. It mixed faster at the bottom away from the ice because the cold slowed the slowed the molecules down. The process was altered because of the lethargy. The process was only slightly delayed in the boiling water because of the initial shock of the heat, after the shock though it mixed as quickly as the room temperature.

Part 3 Carrot

                                                                   Length in cm                                                   Width in cm

Carrot before putting in salt water:	1 inch	1inch
Carrot before putting in fresh water:	1 inch	1 inch
Carrot after time in salt water:	1 ¼ inch	1 inch
Carrot after time in fresh water:	6/8 inch	1 inch

The carrot in the salt water was soft and the string was loose enough that the carrot fell out of it. The carrot in the fresh water was hard and the string was very tight.

Salt water is a hypertonic solution and it diffused the water out of the carrot. The fresh water was simply a solvent and a hypotonic solution thus the water enters the cells and causes them to swell.

 

Thor has salt and Iron man is fresh water

                                                                                  

Organelles and Illness

-It seems that patient one is experiencing malfunctioning centrioles. I came to this conclusion because the cell division is abnormal and that would explain his symptoms because cell division releases energy.

-It seems that patient two is experiencing malfunctioning Mitochondrion due to lower ATP levels and it is the organelle that produced ATP.

-It seems that patient three is experiencing malfunctioning Peroxisome. I came to this conclusion because of the high levels of hydrogen peroxide, fat and amino acids in cell. High levels of toxicity would cause the liver to become enlarged and the jaundiced skin.

-It seems that patient four is experiencing malfunctioning rough endoplasmic reticulum. It would explain the low testosterone because proteins produce hormones.
