goo.gl/6PW4bh

Summary: Plants need food and waterer to survive. Oxygen and food is what helps animals survive and grow. Animals depend on plants for oxygen and food. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is CO2+H20+sun energy+)2+C6H12O6.The equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6+6O2--> 6CO2+6H2O+energy.

SP6: Constructing Explanations And Designing Solutions: I worked on a 6 page long worksheet. And it was about cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Or either of these can be called the Cell Energy Cycle. Photosynthesis is the process that plant use to make their own food and oxygen. Cellular Respiration involves two parts Anaerobic Respiration and Aerobic Respiration. Anaerobic Respiration happens in the Cytoplasm while the Aerobic Respiration happens in the Mitochondrion.
Structure And Function:  Photosynthesis is used for plants to make their own energy and happens in the chloroplast. While cellular respiration happens in the mitochondria. The chemical formula for Carbon Dioxide is CO2 And the chemical formula for water is H2O.In the chloroplast the chlorophyll converts radiant energy from the sun to chemical energy so the plant can use it

Organic Compound 9/25/16

 Summary:

A organic compound contains carbon. Nucleic Acids contains DNA and RNA. Nucleic acids are made up of Made up of Carbon,oxygen,hydrogen,nitrogen and phosphorus. The monomer is Nucleotide. Carbohydrates are a energy rich compound made up of carbon hydrogen, and oxygen. The monomer is Saccharide. Carbohydrates provide energy for cells. Lipids are energy rich compounds made up of carbon hydrogen and oxygen.lipids act as a energy storage for the cell and makes up most of the cell membrane. The monomer is fatty acids. Proteins are large molecules made up of carbon,hydrogen,oxygen,nitrogen, and sulfur. The monomer is amino acid. Proteins regulate growth and development,transport oxygen and other substances and increase rate of chemical substances.

S&EP Constructing Explanations And Designing Solutions:

I constructed a explanation when saying that some examples of proteins are meat,cheese,beans,bread and nuts. And also stating other examples from Nucleic acids could be DNA and RNA. Lipids would be wax,ice cream and fats. Carbohydrates beans,pasta and grains. I also stated their monomers ,Nucleic acids; Nucleotide. Carbohydrates;Saccharide. Lipids; fatty acids.

Structure And Function:

The structure and function for a Carbohydrate is that it provides energy and components of some cell parts. Proteins form parts of the cell membrane and form most of the organelles. DNA is found in the nucleus and contains all the information that the cell requires to function kind of like the motherboard of a cell. RNA codes for making proteins and can be found in the cytoplasm and the nucleus.

Summary:

The presidential debate for who is going to be the next president of Cell Land is OVER!!  Everyones vote is being cast in. My vote is going to the Ribosomes because from their presentation is the the ribosomes help grow your hair and the proteins they make gives and helps the cell with its structure and the function of the whole cello. The ribosome has both a large sub unit and small sub unit. The ribosomes make all proteins which after get sent to the Golgi Apparatus to be processed modified and sent out.

Backward Looking:

 I knew pretty much all about cells because we learned and had a whole unit on them in 5th grade but I forgot some parts from here and there. I knew the different cells were Vacuole, Ribosomes, Lysosomes, Peroxisome, Cell Wall, Cell Membrane, Cytoplasm, ER (Endoplasmic Reticulum), and the Mitochondria. The only thing I forgot was the structure and function. But this project cleared up my head and reminded me about the cells and organelles.

Inward Looking:

What I found frustrating out this project was that we had to do so many things and my group was scattered here and there.  When we said we were to do the poster we ended up smearing/burning other organelles. And we had a hard time settling on what to do one this day and the other. I mean half way through class we would know what to do but by the next half we would be leaving work half done. That was another problem we would be spending to much time on one thing such as our poster for most of class leaving only 15 minutes to work on our script which is key for our video. But we got over it and gave a pretty decent poster,video,smear/burn and tack board.

Outward Looking:

I would give my group an A- or the lowest a B+ because we put a lot of effort in our video smears/burns and poster. But in my opinion I think we could have put a tad bit more facts in our video. And we could have made our posters a little bit more informative about our organelle. But in my opinion our smears/burns were perfectly fine. Like I said the only thing with flaws was our poster and out video.

Forward Looking:

One goal I want to set for myself is to probably organize out what day I would do this and that. I say this because I feel like my group was kind of rushed. My group was kind of rushed because we would be springing from one place to the other place doing work. But the thing is we would leave our remaining work like 80% done while starting another part of the project. So for future projects I would want to make a calendar to stay on track and to keep myself on task and focus.

Organelle Problems 9/11/16

Achondrogenesis type A and B

Summary:

There are many terrible disease and trouble to a human and a cell when a organelle malfunctions. For example; The Golgi Body. The Golgi Body can cause a disease called Achondrogenesis. Achondrogenesis is a disease that makes a babies bones and cartilage have a hard time developing. This is causes by the malfunction of the Golgi Bodies micro tubules. Its malfunctions when the ER (endoplasmic reticulum) cannot transport proteins to the Golgi Body. And this causes the bones a cartilage to have trouble developing. 

SP7: Engaging in argument from evidence

In out cell wars unit we are arguing about cells malfunctions and which cell would make a fine president. And my cell is The Golgi Body. We are arugining and saying the Golgi Body is the best candidate because The golgi is often considered the distribution and shipping department for the cell's chemical products.The Golgi also is found in both animal and plant cells.And we already work for the cell. 

Structure and Function

Once again we were working on our video so we had to investigate further into other organelles functions and our own as well. We found out that Mitochondria “Malfunctioning mitochondria have been linked to diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and even normal aging.” And If we have too many vacuoles, that can cause serious diseases such as Danon’s Disease, which can affect the whole cell. Actually, it can affect the entire body. Danon’s Disease breaks down muscle cells, leaving a low survival rate. The cell membrane is responsible for letting in water, salt, and nutrients. If the membrane malfunctions, the entire cell suffers because of the imbalanced levels of water, salt, and nutrients. And Achondrogenesis is very rare. Only about 1 in 40-60,000 babies have it.

The Golgi Body

https://media1.britannica.com/eb-media/52/116252-120-E654E669.jpg

• The golgi body modifies many products from the Endoplasmic Reticulum including proteins and phospholipids. The Golgi body packages the proteins that the ribosomes make.

Gathers simple molecules and combines them to create complex moleculesThe golgi is often considered the distribution and shipping department for the cell's chemical products.A Golgi Body was actually one of the first organelles 
to be observed. A italian physician named Camillo Golgi discovered it. It was found when the physician was investigating the nervous system. Some of the many function that the Golgi body does is it gathers simple molecules and combines them to create complex molecules.

SP8: Obtain,evaluate and communicate information
<=My group made a poster to persuade people to vote for the Golgi Body for president of cell land. We are still looking for small facts to insert but this is what we have. We put information such as"We do more than package we also modify and sort things"which means that not only do we package things that the ribosome's make we also modify and sort them.

Structure And Function
The function of my organelle is to package modify and sort things for secretion.We also transport things called lipids around the cell that the ribosomes produce. Were basically the post office of the cell. The golgi body is also part of the ER. The ER is also known as the Endoplasmic Reticulum. We sort and process proteins. The golgi body was discovered long before the scienist actually knew what it did.
