DNA Structure: Explain the structure of DNA – use the terms nucleotides, antiparallel strands, and complimentary base pairing. DNA is made up of sugars, phosphates, and nitrogen bases. It is a large, ladder-like polymer made from nucleotide monomers. It has two phosphate-sugar backbones with the nucleotide bases facing inwards from each. The bases attached to each strand form hydrogen bonds…

Metagenomics – Gracyn K
Metagenomics is a big concept and one of the fastest advancing fields in biology. Essentially, it’s a way to learn about microscopic communities by studying the DNA in an environment. They do this by taking a sample from an environment and analyzing its genes and DNA. Because it allows us to see these microscopic ecosystems that we couldn’t before, metagenomics…
Modeling Polynomials
Key: Expanded = Simplified = Explanation = First I expanded the expression. Since = 4×4, then has to equal . Then I simplified the expression using the FOIL method. First – (x)(x) = , outside – (x)(1) = x, inside (x)(1), and then last = 1×1. Then I added them up. Expanded = Simplified = Explanation = For this one, I expanded…

Laundry Detergent Lab
Is something that costs more actually better? That’s what we wanted to test in this lab. We tried 4 different laundry detergents- one that costs $5 more, two popular detergents, and a cheap detergent- to see which one would get a mustard stain out the best. Want to know the answer? Check out my lab by clicking this link: Laundry…
