The Cove

1. Ric O'Barry
3. He became very involved because he was a dolphin trainer and saw a dolphin commit suicide.
5. Cetacean
7. Because they're receiving financial support from Japan.
9. They're pierced with spears and bleed to death.
11. To uncover what was happening in the cove and revealing it to everyone.
13. It happens when pollutants are introduced into an ecosystem. The consumers consume the plants that have been effected by pollutants. This will effect the food chain,
15. Because they say it's their tradition and they're told by the government that dolphins are eating all the other fish.
17. The cameras were disguised as rocks.
19. Showed him a cruel slaughter of dolphins on his phone.
21. They see a dolphin with lots of wounds swimming towards them escaping from the cove. The dolphin however died of the wounds.
23. Yes, because Marineland needs dolphins. The dolphins come from Taiji. Some of the dolphins are chosen and the ones not chosen will be killed by the fishers.

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Photosynthesis:

• photosynthesis transfers electrons from water to energy-poor carbon dioxide molecules, forming energy rich sugar molecules
• This electron transfer is an example of an oxidation-reduction process: the water is oxidized (loses electrons) and the CO₂ is reduced (gains electrons)
• Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light  energy into chemical energy . During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy  is captured and used to convert  water, Carbon dioxide  and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compound
• In PSII, ( 680nm)  the electrons are removed from water molecules to create oxygen and protons. These protons are then directed through Photosystem I (PSI) to create carbohydrates from carbon dioxide

Cellular Respiration:

• Starting with 6 carbon sugar, glycolysis produces two 3 -carbon pyruvate molecules
• glycolysis does not require oxygen
• All the reactions in glycolysis occurs in the Cytoplasm, each step is catalyzed by a specific enzyme
• Krebs cycle begins after the two molecules of the three carbon sugar produced in glycolysis are converted to acetyl CoA
• ETC (electron transport chain) requires oxygen directly

Fetal Pig Dissection

  

  

We had the pig dissection during class on April 27 and 28. The pig's organs are labeled as followed:

The brain is a major part of the nervous system. It's responsible for controlling and coordinating the body.












The lens refracts incoming light in the eye.

 The heart supplies blood to the organs of the body.

 The lungs give blood oxygen from the air and take away carbon dioxide.

 The liver aids digestion by producing bile which converts glucose to fat.

 The kidneys are behind the liver and the other organs. They filter blood and remove unwanted waste while absorbing important nutrients.

The stomach is connected to the small intestine and it's the location where food is held to be broken down.
