Gelatin is just a processed version of a structural protein called collagen that is found in many animals, including humans.Collagen actually makes up almost a third of all the protein in the human body. It is a big, fibrous molecule that makes skin, bones, and tendons both strong and somewhat elastic. As you get older, your body makes less collagen, and individual collagen fibers become crosslinked with each other. You might experience this as stiff joints or wrinkles.
i got this info from TLC cooking :)

trimester 1 reflection

this trimester i learned the difference between benign tumors and malignant tumors.  a benign tumor is an abnormal mass of essentialy normal cells. this can easily be removed by surgery.  benign tumors are not anywhere as severe as a  malignant tumor is.  a malignant tumor is a mass of cells as a result of cancer cells.  this is a very serious thing and cannot be removed by surgery.  there are two types of treatment, chemotherapy, where a patient is given antibiotics that disrupt cell divison.  another type of treatment is radiation therapy, this is where the cancer area is directly exposed to high radiation disrupting cell division.  cancer is a disease caused by disruption of mechanisms usually in charge of the cell cycle.
 what i found difficult is differentiating between the different types of bonds polar, hydrogen, ionic, covalent and the other ones.
