Gelatin is a processed version of a structured protein called collagen.

To make gelatin, manufacturers grind up animal bones and pre-treat them with either a strong acid or a strong base to break down cellular structures and release proteins like collagen. After pre-treatment, they boil the mixture.The large collagen protein end up being partially broken down, and the resulting product is called gelatin.

Intro rough draft

Germination is the process in which an embryo or seed begins to sprout or grow and form the first stages of a plant. Roots coming out of the seed is usually the first sign of germination. Various conditions such as the amount of water, sunlight and soil the plant receives effect the germination process.
Barley is a plant that grows best in full sunlight. The temperature of the ground also effects the growth of the plant. Barley is also said to not require a lot of water because an excess amount of water causes the plant to decompose.
It is important to find out how much water is need for barley, so it can best germinate. We are conducting this study in order to find out how much water barley needs to properly germinate. We will study the effects of water on the barley by putting different amounts of water in each cup that contains barley seeds and soil. If the barley seeds are tested in different amounts of water then the barley provided with the least amount of water will germinate faster.
