Egg Jelly

Creatine (2022)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I picked the article regarding the jelly coat on oocytes mainly because it is something I've never heard before throughout my biology courses. The article does not provide a profound understanding of the topic and I do not believe that it provides information that is easily comprehensible to a person who is unaware of what it is. I found myself looking at other sites to find more information on what egg jelly is.

This article was chosen because it is something that I've seen become increasingly more popular on social media. Creatine is an ingredient in pre-work out (there are supplements that are advertised as just creatine). I've noticed many people raving about the wonders of creatine and pre-work out for exercise; however, people often make jokes about it causing itchiness, jitters, and other symptoms similar to those of withdrawal. I think the article seems pretty well updates about creatine.

Although the article seems to have a sufficient amount of information about the jelly coat on egg, it does not present the information in a way that readers can easily digest. Despite this and some grammatical errors, the article flows well between each description of the topic. The article is well cited with what seems to be academic journals for every claim that is made. However, there are only three sources. All of which are from 2007or earlier. No media is embedded with in the article to assist the reader in understanding the topic. There have not been any revisions to the article since the page was created in 2014. The only edits made were to the citations.

The article contains sufficient information about creatine. It gives background on when creatine was first identified, the metabolic role in the body, and how it is synthesized. The article needs some updated sources as the most recent one listed is from 2019.
