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:
