Interesting fact about digestion (Horse's digestive system)

I always wondered how a horse can sprint for such long periods of time without getting tired. They were used as the main type of transportation for centuries. I wanted to research this particular topic because I was curious to how a horse can dash so efficiently. Today I found out that their digestive system plays a huge part in a horse's ability to run. Like humans they have a esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. The difference with their digestion system is that their large intestine contribute much more to their digestive tract. Their large intestine contains bacteria that break down the food very efficiently including plants. the large intestine is usually referred to as the hindgut where symbiotic bacteria break down plant fibres and undigested starches. Fatty acids can be absorbed through the gut wall. With all this energy as well as horses eating plants, horses become very fast as runners.

Protein lab Questions' Answers

1. Peptide bonds are found in the primary structure.

2. The secondary structure forms due to peptide bonds between amino acids.

3. Interactions between R groups, covalent bonds, H bonds, and repulsion caused the 3D structure. The reason why my protein looks different from others because I have different R groups and different bonds and interactions between my amino acids compared to everyone else's.

4. The fourth structure was created by 2 or more polypeptides stuck together.

5. No my protein would not have the same shape if I changed the primary structure because that means I would have different R groups and different amino acids meaning different types of interactions and bonds. 

Exercise Science Fitness Assignment

9My personal fitness goal is to increase my strength which probably fits under muscular endurance. It does count as some muscular strength as well. My plan is to go to the ymca in the mornings and work on bench press, squats, overhead press, deadlifts, pull ups, and barbell rolls. I plan to do a daily rotation routine. I will do squats and deadlifts one day, chinups and shoulder press the next day, and bench press and barbell rows the third day. I plan to go three times a week to complete each exercise.

This is where I get my idea from.

Schedule

Tuesday, November 18: squats with weights on bar, and deadlifts.

Wednesday, Nobember 19: shoulder press.

Monday, November 24: bench press

Wednesday, November 26: bench press, squats, and deadlifts

Friday, November 28: barbell rows, overhead press, and chinups

Monday, December 1: bench press, squats, and deadlifts

Wednesday, December 3: overhead press, barbell row and chinups

Friday, December 5: bench press, squats, barbell rows, and chinups

Wednesday, December 10: overhead press, deadlifts, and chinups

Before these weeks, my initial testing was pushups for which I first did 20.

After these weeks, I was able to go up to 33 pushups.

Colon Cancer

It is pretty interesting to be able to see live tweets during a surgery because it is not very common. A surgery for colon cancer is something I have never seen before so I was definitely amazed as I have never seen any kind of surgery being done before. I was surprised by the amount of Carbon Dioxide that fitted into the stomach without the stomach bursting. Honestly, the most amazing part was they inflated the stomach with carbon dioxide to make it look like a balloon. I never thought something like that was even possible. I could not relate the surgery to what we learned in class comparing it to the colouring sheets, or notes we took in class but I could say I could relate it to the one digestive system video we watched in class. Taking out the colon itself was very surprising for me as I thought that was dangerous but very interesting. When talking about the removal of colon, I didn't know they literally pull it out, which is one new thing I learned from this.

Common Soccer knee injuries

    Soccer is definitely a fun sport to play, but it  does not mean it is entirely safe to play; no sport is. Common injuries that occur in soccer usually or mostly involves the leg area which majority of the game requires to be used. Some of these injuries include fractured knees, broken or fractured tibia or fibula, fractured or dislocated patella, or a broken femur. However one of the most serious injuries to occur is tearing the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Your ACL is located deep within your patella connecting the tibia (shinbone) to the femur. the main function of it is to prevent the tibia moving to far forward or stretching too wide, and providing stability to the knee.

     Typical ways to injure in soccer is to land awkwardly from jumping, being kicked by the cleat on the patella, stretching the leg to far, or an awkward movement the body was stretched awkwardly or bent in some way. This truely is a serious injury as it takes from 8 months to a year to recover and it does require surgery as it does not recover on its own.

Respiration Lab

Both test tubes with limewater are ready for testing.

The limewater that came in contact with carbon dioxide that came from our lungs turned white. The water in the contact with the general air remained neutral.

Part B is about to begin where the distilled water shown on the left will come in contact with air from our lungs while the water on the right will come in contact with general air. We will see the difference in pH level after.

The distilled water that came in contact with air from our lungs on the left has become more acidic in pH level while the water that came in contact with general air remained neutral.
