Enzymes Article

Leah Poapst

1.  I have learnt that the following groups are three major classifications of enzymes: metabolic enzymes, digestive enzymes, and food enzymes. Now I also know that enzymes help maintain the immune system and much more. In addition, by reading this article I have learned that the enzyme cannot function without a molecule of a trace mineral (such as copper, iron or zinc).

2.  I would change my eating habits, for the most part I do eat healthy but sometimes I don't. I'd also try not to eat so much cooked food, which would help not to strain my pancreas.

1. I learned that enzmyes were first recognised in the 1930's and there was over 80 recognized. Also all enzymes deactivate or shut down at 118 degrees farenheit in water and 150 degrees farenhiet in a dry area. Enzymes also help maintaine the immune system.

2. I probably won't because I allready eat well and don't do anything different.

Enzymes article

Francisca Fazzio
  1. I found out that over 5,000 enzymes have been discovered since 1930, enzymes fall into 3 categories; metabolic, digestive, and food enzymes, and finally, they can only function in presice settings.
  2. No, I already eat healthy and understand these processes.(I'm going to major in food nutrition and I want to be a personal trainer)

1. By reading this article I learned that if humans and animals have a diet of largely cooked foods their 

organs and glands will shrink compared to their Pancreas organs which will increase in size.

2. I also learned that many enzymes are included in raw foods, which in many cultures are eat as is and 

not cooked.

Autobiography Leah Poapst


I’m Leah Poapst, I was born in Alberta, Canada. My father is also Canadian and my mother is Mexican. These last two years I was living in Aguascalientes, Mexico to learn more about its people, language, history, and culture. As a result, I became fluent in speaking, reading, and writing in Spanish. Now I currently live in San Jose, California and I am attending at Willow Glen High School.

During most of my summer vacations, my sister and I would go visit our grandma and grandpa. My aunt, who lived next door to them, grew a large garden in her backyard. Therefore, we had to help her water it and pick weeds etc. She was growing a variety of vegetables and fruit, such as tomatoes, carrots, strawberries, green beans, peas, along with many others. It was quite a lot of hard work, especially with so many crops to take care of. Thanks to the knowledge of both my grandma and aunt about horticulture, we successfully grew all of the vegetables and fruit.

Louis Pelletiers Bio

Autobiography Louis Pelletier



           Hi my name is Louis Pelletier. I am 13 years old at Willow Glen High school. I have family in Idaho France and south California. Most of my family comes from Germany.            Some of my favorite pastimes include biking, snowboarding, and video games. I liked this experiment because it had a lot of different components to deal with. For instance I was the blog manager so i got to use the computer for a useful thing.
