Antacids Blog
We did a lab where we had four different kinds of antacids, four cups of vinegar, and PH level papers.We crushed the antacids, put them in a cups and then stirred it. This lab was to prove how our acids in our stomach works, and how you never want a lot of acid in your stomach.

Collagen Web Quest
I did "HYDRATION STRUCTURE OF A COLLAGEN PEPTIDE".The primary structure of collagen is triple helix. The major amino acid is acetic acid.Vitamin C plays a role in the collagen formation for hydration.When a person doesn't get enough vitamin C in their diet then they can become dehydrated and get a lot of sickness.The quaternary structure of collagen is carbon,hydrogen, and oxygen.
The main symptom of Osteogenesis Imperfecta is fragile bones that break easily.
Some other symptoms that people have with OI is muscle weakness,hearing loss,fatigue, joint laxity,curved bones,scoliosis,blue sclera,Dentinogenesis imperfecta (brittle teeth),and short stature. TypeI OI differ from the others because it is the mildest and most common form of the disorder. It also is characterized with mild bone fragility, relatively few fractures, and minimal limb deformities. A child may be average or slightly shorter-than-average as compared with unaffected family members, but is still within the normal range for the age.
There is a high incidence of hearing loss,(occurs primarily in young adulthood, but it may occur in early childhood). It is inherited from an affected parent, or in previously unaffected families, it results from a spontaneous mutation. Lastly, issues that arise with OI TypeI are joint and ligament weakness and instability, muscle weakness, the need to prevent fracture cycles, and the necessity of spine protection.
The role of collagen in bones is to make you be stable and strong. Collagen can lead to bone problems by the fibers not being strong and putting out.

Carb ID Lab
The three categories of carbohydrates studied in this investigation are Monosaccharides, Disaccharides , and polysaccharide.
The three elements that are present in all carbohydrates are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Monosaccharides- Glucose, Galactose, and Fructose
Disaccharides- Lactose and Sucrose
Polysaccharides- Starches- amylose,cellulose, and glycogen
Water has 2 hydrogen atoms and it also has 1 oxygen atoms.
carbohydrates has hydrogen 32 atoms and it also has 16 oxygen atoms.
Mono,Di, and Poly are used describing sugars because mono means one sugar molecule, Di means two monosaccharides bound chemical, and Poly means multiple single sugars that go into a more complex molecule
If a sugar is a monosaccharide then it stays the same.
If a sugar is a disaccharide then it turns a dark color.
If a sugar is a polysaccharide then it turns to a cream color.
A certain saccharide has a color changing solution in the Benedict's solution is mono because mono is
the only sugar/saccharide that does any color changing
The saccharide that has a color change in Benedict's solution is disaccharide because it changes the solution a dark color.
Corn syrup, glucose, and galactose are foods that contains monosaccharides. Lactose, sucrose, and table sugar are foods that contains disaccharides. Flour, starch, and cheerios are foods that contains polysaccharides.3
