Compare and contrast proteins and carbohydrates. Consider how they are formed and their purpose/function inside a cell. 150-250 words.

Proteins and Carbohydrates each play their own important role in the body in our cells, as does each piece of our system plays a role in how we function and a making up a living being.  One way a protein acts is in insulin! Insulin is a tiny protein, you often hear of lack of insulin in diabetes patients, it’s captured on cell surfaces and delivers a message the amount of sugar available in the blood. Insulin is actually one of the most important proteins! (Info from rcsb.org) Proteins as Enzymes break polymers apart, which makes a chemical reaction. Proteins as hormones and receptors help with the communication of cells and the metabolism of glucose. That is just the surface out of all the things proteins do! There are defense proteins, you can assume what they do, and Storage Proteins like the white part of an egg hard-boiled. Proteins are made from polymers of amino acids these are called polypeptides. Folding and combining polypeptides gives rise to four different levels of protein structure. Carbohydrates or CH2O they are compounds of carbon, and carbon is the backbone of organic molecules! Carbon has four valence electrons. Unlike Proteins, carbon makes up the sugars. Some common ones are glucose “blood sugar, GA lactose in milk, and fructose in honey. Science can be found where you aren’t looking for it and in people there is a process behind how we are alive.  Starches are the polymers of glucose. A polymer is a chain of smaller molecules Glycogen is what animals use to store extra glucose by turning it into glycogen. One thing connects to another. Cellulose it is very common and has glucose in it. You can find almost pure Cellulose in wood, wool, and cotton. Carbohydrates are used for fuel! We breathe in carbon it’s in the air. Proteins and Carbohydrates are both very different, opposites, but we have to have both of them Proteins act as a messenger to the body, and a communicator and carbohydrates/carbon are used to power and fuel the body and many other things; through food, and air those are the primary actions of the two.

Write 500 words on this topic: "Discuss the element of hierarchy in Genesis 1-3." Consider such things as Adam's relation to God, Eve's relation to Adam and God, and the serpent's relation to Adam, Eve, and God.

After god’s creation was done God said “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over livestock and all the wild animals and over and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God was going to create man in his image, male and female. They were going to take care of the animals and the creatures that crawl along the dirt and tend to the herbs, flowers, seeds, and so on. God told them to increase in number and he told them to rule over all animals the hierarchy was established partially at this point even before Adam and Eve were there because God was going to create them and he would rule over them and they would rule over the animals, sea creatures and overall the earth. And most everything on the earth, every green plant with life was their food. God saw this was all good and on the seventh day he rested. This marked the end of his creation and was blessed as the Sabbath day. That made a full week. He created Adam from dust and breathed life into him. This was unique to people because no other animal was created from earth, then he gave Adam a task. Adam’s task was to name all the animals in pairs. After his first task was done, God put Adam to sleep and took a rib from Adam and made woman. She was not yet named, and she was a extension of man. God blessed them and they were created in God’s image. In the middle of the garden was the tree of good and evil, or it could be called the tree of knowledge. // God was lawmaker and ruler over man as man was of the animals and there was an ethical bond between Eve, Adam, and God. God said they couldn’t eat from this tree, every other tree they could eat from, except this one. They couldn’t eat from the tree of good and evil because that would break the ethical bond.  God trusted them. There was no physical barrier but a law to be followed. The tree of life was open to them. // The sanction from eating from the evil tree was death. And so the two lived happily in the Garden of Eden. That was until one day, A serpent slithered to Eve, he was a clever animal, but he was not good. The serpent inquired why she didn’t eat from the particular tree of good and evil. This was to make Eve doubt God's goodness. Eve said to the serpant that God told them if they touch or eat fruit from the tree they will die.  The serpant lied "you will not surely die". This made Eve doubt God's word. The serpent said God lied to you he doesn’t want you do be like him, this tree is a shortcut. This, the nail on the coffin, lead Eve to doubt God's motives.  Eve thought about all this and decided the serpent was right. So she ate the fruit. /// This was a betrayal of God in the hierarchy they did not obey his one law. Adam saw that Eve didn’t die immediately and ate the fruit too. He was more in the wrong than Eve, he was supposed to protect her and he wasn't decieved by the serpent like Eve was, he just decided maybe to put Eve before God. God came and questioned them about eating from the tree. The woman (Eve) blamed the serpent and the man blamed the woman. So they didn’t take responsibility for their actions and blamed a flaw in the creation. They tried to hide from their sin. But there was no flaw that was the beginning of sin and death.The Fall. So go cursed the three of them and God sadly had to banished them from the garden of Eden but still gave them grace. Because there was still path to eternal life and they would not die immediately (see it wasn't a lie). "from dust you came, and to dust you will return." (Genesis 3:19) although there was punishment for what they had don because now they couldn’t simply eat from the tree of life and have eternal life. The serpent was going to bite man. And man, as in mankind, was going to kill the serpent and that was the snake's curse that he would stay in the dirt and eat dust. God’s relationship to man was anger but forgiveness and grace to them. They did not immediately die. Adam and Eve believed the serpent over God so they had done wrong and betrayed God in the hierarchy. God punished the serpent, man, and woman, for what they had done. The earth would now fight to give up it's crops the creation that was in their being would now cause pain and toil to bring it's food up. And that was the beginning of earth and Gods relation to the people and the snake and them to him. Genesis 1-3

(edited 2017)

This is the entire summary of important event’s from Abraham to Moses. In Mesopotamian, the city of Ur, Abraham was called by God to leave home. He was to travel west to Canaan. It was his divine promise by God. Abraham became convinced that God wanted the sacrifice of his son (Isaac). Since, back then, you sacrifice the thing most precious to you. He spares his son at the last minute because an angel steps in. So instead of offering Isaac, he offers a lamb. Abraham sets about choosing a wife for Isaac. He goes back to his native land and finds Rebekah. Isaac and Rebekah have an arranged marriage. Abraham, not long after the marriage, dies.

Isaac has two sons, Jacob and Esau. Jacob resented not being the older son that gets the benefits of birthright. Esau was out working on a hot day and he was very thirsty. And so, Jacob decided to trick Esau to sell his birthrights as the oldest son for water. Jacob took this seriously (as a binding agreement) but Esau did not.

Isaac on his deathbed prepares to give his blessing to the oldest son. Rebekah, who favors Jacob, persuades Jacob to deceive his (now half-blind) father. Esau found out this scheme, but too late. Jacob now has the birthright. Esau declares his plan to kill Jacob. Rebekah sends Jacob away. Jacob begins to work for his uncle. He works to take one of the daughters as his wife. He marries both daughters "accidentally" because he must marry the oldest before the youngest gets married, so he ends up with two wives.

  Jacob leaves for his land again. He chooses to follow his better nature, he and his brother make peace and go their separate ways. From then on he is called Israel. Rachel, his favorite wife, dies.

 Jacob has 12 sons. He particularly favored and spoiled one of the youngest sons, Joseph. Joseph even had a "coat of many colors". And unscarred hands because he was spared hard labour. The jealous brothers see this favoritism and sold him to slavery. While in slavery (through a course of "lucky" events) Joseph manages to take a high position. He was a dream interpreter, a prophet.

The pharaoh was having odd dreams, so Joseph caught his attention. Joseph interpreted the pharaoh's dream as a vision of the future.

 There would be a famine coming. 

The grain, supplies, and food were taken care of in preparation of this said famine. The Hebrews, struck by the famine, fled to Egypt. Joseph revealed himself to his brothers (who had also fled with all the other Hebrews). They were suprised at his success, and that he was still alive. Jacob forgave his brothers. They lived happily until Joseph, and the pharaoh that favored him, died. 

Then the Egyptians got nervous. They didn’t like foreigners, so they enslaved all the Hebrews. The new pharaoh wanted all Hebrew boys killed. However, the pharaohs daughter found a Hebrew baby boy by the river and adopted him. That baby was called Moses.

So Moses grew up in the palace, living like an egyptian. When he grew up he saw what was happening to his people. Moses was out one day, and he saw an Egyptian overseer beating a Hebrew slave. Moses then killed the overseer. He fled, now a fugitive to Egypt; from then on he was a real Hebrew and wouldn’t live like an Egyptian. 

Moses thought it was his mission to save his people from slavery. He saw a burning bush and took it as a sign from God. It was time to fulfill this mission. 

Moses went to Egypt. He asked the pharaoh to end the burden on the Hebrews. The pharaoh said no but a plague swept Egypt and the pharaoh saw this as punishment for not listening to Moses. He let the Hebrew slaves go. The Red Sea parted and they crossed. 

At Mount Sinai Moses got the 10 commandments from God, when he came down the people were worshipping a golden calf, which made him angry. He slammed the stone tablets down, these tablets were fixed and kept in the Ark of the Covenant. Moses was going to fufill his mission and lead them to the promise land. The Hebrews were grumbling as they walked the many miles in heat. They complained they were "parched". (not very grateful after being freed from slavery and now led to the promise land) and so God told Moses to hit a particular rock once with his stick and water would flow out. So Moses did as told but he hit the rock twice, this was an act of defiance against God. (even after all God had done for him.)

So he was not allowed in the promise land. Moses hands his leadership away to Joshua. The first period of Hebrew history comes to an end with the death of Moses.
