Homeostasis-Joseph

Homeostasis is when a cell tries to maintain equilibrium in all environments. Some examples are.  A normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees.  Your body can make or release heat to maintain that temperature.  Or when viruses or bacteria get into your system your body fights it off to maintain homeostasis and make sure that you don't get sick.
Reflection: When we went over homeostasis I learned that almost everything does it.  Our bodies do it and I'm pretty sure that it happens to as well.  I thought this was a confusing topic overall but eventually I got it and kew it and did problems about homeostasis.  I eventually knew it and I think it is a useful thing to know.  Overall Homeostasis is something that I know I will remember and know what  it does.

    Had a great picture to help understand the topic. Helped me understand it better. You reflection was good and simple to understand. You had all the information.

    Very good explanation of homeostasis. I learned some stuff I didn't know about homeostasis. Your reflection was very good and in depth. Our bodies go through homeostasis everyday while maintaining body temperature, pH level and our blood sugar levels.

    Picture was very easy to understand. Didn't really give an overall understanding in the reflection. Tell us what the summary of the topic was in the reflection, not just what you thought about it.

    You had a very good picture explaining your topic. You had a good reflection added to your topic, very understanding. Only thing is homeostasis everyday your body maintains the same pH level and blood sugar levels.

    This was the most easiest to understand, the pic explained your topic very well.
    And i also know why they say if your temp. reaches over 103 you should go to the hospitial, or else our bodys could shut down.

Anaerobic Energy Production - MORGAN BANKS

Image
ANAEROBIC ENERGY PRODUCTION  Anaerobic Energy Production is one form of Cellular Respiration  This form requiers no oxygen  Is used for a fast burst of energy Occurs mostly in prokaryotes cells  Fermentation 1- lactic acid (makes muscles sore)  2- Alocholic REFLECTION - Anaerobic Production has no oxygen, therefore many of the things we do, do not involve anaerobic production! It involves the aerobic energy production. This is not only a good review for you but for me as well on how to justify the two.  http://slideplayer.com/slide/9078035/ MORE INFO: http://www.diffen.com/difference/Aerobic_Respiration_vs_Anaerobic_Respiration VIDEO/QUIZ:  http://study.com/academy/lesson/anaerobic-exercise-definition-benefits-examples.html

Genetic Variation: Mutations

Image
What is a mutation? A mutation is any change in the DNA sequence.  There are three types of mutations: * addition: One or more nucleotide base pairs are inserted into a DNA sequence (also called frameshift mutation)  *deletion: The removal of one or more nucleotides in a DNA sequence (also called frameshift mutation) *substitution: A mutation that exchanges one or more bases for another (also called point mutation) How do they occur & why? Mutations for randomly, but different mutations occur different ways.  Most of the time a mutation comes from radiation (so like the sun, X-rays, tanning salons, etc). Some mutations can be genetic though, like autism. Autism is caused when theres an extra chromosome. Another common mutation would be cancer. Cancer occurs when cells uncontrollably grow, and don't die.  Can it be prevented?  Unfortunately, mutations are random. The best way to prevent them is to protect yoursel...
