Protien Lab



Primary 

Secondary

Tertiary

Quaternary






Questions
1) Peptide bond is found between the ammino acids in the primary structure.

2) In the secondary structure polar peptide is formed between the amino acid, which 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 would look different than everyone else because of the different letters.

4) Two or more polypeptides stick together.

5) Yes the shape structure would change if I changed the primary structure because there would be different amino acids meaning different interactions and different types of bonds.\

Colon Cancer Post

After watching the Colon Cancer surgery videos and seeing the pictures I was surprised on how they inflate the patients stomachs by inserting Co2 into it so they can get a better view for surgery.  It was very interesting how they had the video camera inserted through a port so that could see what they were doing on a screen in front of them. What I really found interesting was how the put ink on the tumor to differentiate  it. It was gross when they used a stapler to separate the colon than cut it out. I learned that you don't have to have symptoms to know that you have colon cancer, you can have it growing in you for years and find out after a body scam. 



What is important to me?


In Hk the most interesting thing is learning more about my body and how it works. Learning what is going on when I run or stop to rest. Also the way we are learning is fun and i enjoy coming to class everyday so I am exited to learn new things. 

In bio I have been getting all my blogs done and by doing so i learn more and more everytime i post a blog. My evidence is my quizes as i got 11/11 on one . That shows that I was paying attention in class and also did my blogs which helped me a lot to memorize the terms and structures. My second piece of evidence is my blogs such as the heart disection, the heart structure, diaphram and disection blogs all show how I have gained knowledge on the heart and how the funtions work. There is also labs like the lung (baloon) inflation/ deflation lab which gave me a good understanding on what happens when we inhale and exhale. These are just few of the manh blogs i have completed and they all have helped me get a better idea on what we are learning in bio so far. I need to improve by being more focused at times which will help me get even higher marks on quizes and such. I think i deserve around a  86%, 87% in bio because I have shown that I have been learning but there are still some things that need to be improved.

Im exercise scince i have shown that i have been learning along the way through my blogs. Examples my vo2 max, my body poster both show my understanding of my own body. My fitness goal was slitly achieved but i want to improve a lot for my second semester. I think I deserve around a 86-88 %. 

In superfit I gave it my all in the things i was participating in like the beep test when i beat ms phillips and hill runs. My performance went down for a bit when school soccer was going on, i was faced with knee pain for a bit but after i picked it up again and on a recent hill run I gave it my all. I also went to almost all the field trips and enjoyed them a lot. I think i deserve around 86-90% in superfit.

Lung Inflation and deflation Lab

deflated 

Inflated

The first one is exhalation as you can see the balloon is flat. The diaphragm is relaxed.

The second is inhalation as the balloon can be seen filling up as the diaphram contracts.



Fitness Testing results


Aerobic Fitness: Beep test

Anerobic Glycolysis: Step- Ups

I will perfom each of these streches before and after my workouts to improve my flexibility.

My Skeleton


Bones Missing: Cranium, Patella, Phalanges, Facial bones, Tarsal, Carpal bone, Metacarpal bone and pectoral girdle. 

Respiration Lab

Intro: The process of external gas takes place between air and the lungs. O2 goes into blood from air through the aveoli and CO2 goes into aveoli into air from blood, because of cellular respiration. 


Part A : The result of the aerating of limewater remained the same there were no changes. However, the test tube we breathed jn became cloudy. 


Part B : The beaker that was aerated turned blue/green and beaker with the other distilled water that was breathed into orange/yellow. Therefore, aerated was neutral and the breathed into one was strong acid.


Part C: Breaths taken in one minute were: 28,25 and 18. Breaths taken in 30seconds were: 10,14 and 18. The numbers in 30seconds are basically half the amount of one minute except are kind of higher, for example 18 breaths per 30 seconds. This means we should be taking in more breaths.

Joints

Your ankle bone and the ends of your two lower leg bones make up the ankle joint. Your ligaments, which connect bones to one another, stabilize and support it. Your muscles and tendons move it. The most common ankle problems are sprains and fractures. A sprain is an injury to the ligaments, it is when the ligaments are stretched beyond their normal range of motion. It may take a few weeks to many months to heal completely. A fracture is a break in a bone. You can also injure other parts of the ankle such as tendons, which join muscles to bone, and cartilage, which cushions your joints. Ankle sprains and fractures are common sports injuries. I chose to write about the ankle because I am constantly spraining my ankle so i wanted more information on it.

My interesting post

  1.  Tobacco smoke is harmful to smokers and nonsmokers. Cigarette smoking causes many types of cancer, including cancers of the lung, esophagus, larynx (voice box), mouth, throat, kidney, bladder, pancreas, stomach, and cervix, as well as acute myeloid leukemia. Smoking reduces your lungs' ability to remove germs, dirt and the chemicals you expose yourself to when you smoke. The chemicals that cause cancer get trapped.  The alveoli absorb the oxygen you breathe in and then get rid of the carbon dioxide as you exhale. When the alveoli become damaged, your lungs and heart must work harder to take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide, which leads to chronic lung disease.
     In addition to raising the risk of cancer, smoking also reduced the ability of the lungs to function. In particular, smoking reduces the vital capacity of the lungs, which is the amount of air the lungs can take in. This reduction in vital capacity has several important health effects.

Interim

Hi Mom and Dad!
This is my interim report for the Human Kinetics Coop.

So far, the highlights for me have been: the beep test, the rock climbing trip 


I am the most proud of: my beep test score


The most interesting things I have learned about are: the heart, my respiratory system and how it works. 


An example of when I really pushed myself in SuperFit is: When I did my first beep test, I had to really push myself to beat Ms.Phillips. 


I could make improvements in: class by working harder at times and push my self a little more in super fit. 


I am really looking forward to: Learning more about the human body in biology. 


The Basics - WORK HABITS:

Attendance (classes missed and why) - Missed some classes due to soccer.

Participation in field trips (woo kim, grouse grind, rock climbing) - I went to all except the grouse grind. 

Lates (how many & reasons) - Sometimes because i take long eating at lunch.

Preparedness for class (gym strip &/or supplies) - always

Class time management (are you using your class time to complete your work?  engaged in class discussion? participating? following along? doing your best? or talking too much? ) - I complete all my work, I sometimes get distracted but I try to engage in class discussions. 

Blog assignment completion - (out of 8 assignments) Comments?

Vo2 Max

My vo2 level according to my beep test which was 13 is 57.5 which is excellent for a person my age. I plan to get a higher score on my beep test next time to improve my vo2 max.

Grouse Grind

During the grouse grind i went past my zone 4. I was breathing hard, my body temperature was rising. As I past the half way mark my legs started to feel fatigue and it became much harder to go up. After passing the last quarter my heart was at it highest and my muscles were starting to give up. Also after half i went from a,light jog to walking up the hill. I believe the energy system used during the grind was Aerobic because it was high endurance and my heart rate was increasing. My fat was used as fuel to give my body energy, so I could keep going and than was burnt off as sweat
 and cellular respiration.

Heart Disection





external observation:

The heart was a lot bloodier than i thought it would be. It made me sick looking at the heart and how real it was. It was bigger than i expected and didn't really look like a heart but more like a piece of meat.


internal observation:
I didnt see the heart in person but looking at the pictures i can see that the inside is a lot bloodier and lighter than it is on the outside. The heart looks like it will be soft and mushy from the inside.

 QUESTIONS:
1) The most surprising thing for me was how bloody and real the heart was, i felt sick everytime i would look at it. I was suprised because i didnt expect to feel that way. 
2) the atria only has one job to collect and squeeze blood into the ventricles. The ventricles are larger because they need to contract the blood.
3) The left ventricle pumps blood to the entire body while the right only pumps blood to the lungs. 
4) The left AV Valves (mitral) function is to close when the left ventricle contracts to prevent back flow of the blood from the left atrium and right AV valves(tricuspid) function is to close when the right ventricle contracts. Then the blood from the ventricles can go out of the heart and into the blood vessels. Mitral and tricuspid valves open when the ventricles relax and let blood enter the ventricles from the atria.

Heart Anotomy


-Coronary arteries and veins are the blood vessels that supply blood and carry blood away from the heart muscle. The left coronary arteries supply blood mainly to the left side of the heart and vice versa.  


STRUCTURE
FUNCTION
DEOXY/OXY BLOOD
LEFT ATRIUM
*collects returning oxygen rich blood
*Forces blood into mitral valve into left ventricle.
Oxy
LEFT VENTRICLE
* Largest and strongest chamber in heart.
* Ventricle wall only half inch thick but still forces blood through aortic valve.
Oxy
RIGHT ATRIUM
* Collets oxygen poor blood.
* Forces it through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle.  
Deoxy
RIGHT VENTRICLE
* Collects oxygen poor blood from right atrium.
* Forces it into pulmonary valve and into lungs.
Deoxy
PULMONARY ARTERY
* Carries blood from heart to lungs to pick up oxygen. 
Deoxy
AORTA
* Largest artery
* Carries oxygen rich blood from heart to rest of body
Oxy
PULMONARY VEINS
* Carry oxygen rich blood from lungs back to heart.
Oxy
SUPERIOR VENA CAVA
* Oxygen poor blood returns from upper parts of body to heart.
Deoxy

INFERIOR VENA CAVA
* Oxygen poor blood returns from lower parts of body to heart.
Deoxy
ATRIOVENTRICULAR VALVES (Mitral & Tricuspid)
Tricuspid- controls blood flow from right atrium to right ventricle.
Mitral- Controls blood flow from left atrium to the ventricle.
Deoxy/Oxy
CHORDAE TENDINAE
- bring right ventricular walls closer together during contraction
 -pull the AV Valves open during atriole systole.
Left oxy
Right deoxy
SEMI LUNAR VALVES (Pulmonary & Aortic)
Pulmonary-Controls blood flow from right ventricle into pulmonary arteries.
Aortic- Largest artery, oxygen rich blood from heart goes to rest of body.
deoxy/oxy
SEPTUM
* Separates left and right atria and ventricles.

1st Term Self Assessment

My attendance in the class is pretty good, I have only missed a few classes due to illness and I am always ready with my pe strip on. My performance in fitness days is good, on days like beep tests it is better because I seem to find my self pushing my self more on things like beep tests.
I need to start pushing my self more in all fitness activities such as the insatity workout. I have a positive atitude towards the class but there are times when I don't want to play something but that's when I have to be willing to give new things a chance. That is like when we played lacrosse I did not want to but I chose it over ultimate so I can give it a chance and see if I like it. In the next term I want to try new things and be pushing my self in all fitness activaties.
