Porifera

Feeding - sponges are filter feeders and Carnivorous Respiration - Sponges cells absorb oxygen by diffusion from water into cells as water flows through body, into which carbon dioxide and other soluble waste products such as ammonia also diffuse Circulation - sponges do not have distinct circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and excretory systems, instead the water flow system supports all these functions. They filter food particles out of the water flowing through them. Particles larger than 50 micrometers cannot enter the ostia. sponges also Excretion - they extract bacteria and other micro-organisms from water very efficiently Movement - Although adult sponges are fundamentally sessile animals, some marine and freshwater species can move across the sea bed at speeds of 1–4 mm per day, as a result of amoeba-like movements of pinacocytes and other cells. A few species can contract their whole bodies, and many can close their oscula and ostia. Juveniles drift or swim freely, while adults are stationary Reproduction - most sponges are sexually produced but some are asexually born

sponge

Sponges are animals of the phylum Porifera (meaning "pore bearer"). They are multicellular organisms that have bodies full of pores and channels.  Sponges have unspecialized cells that can transform into other types and which often migrate between the main cell layers and the mesohyl in the process

Extreme plants

Corpse Flower

corpse flower is an amazing plant because it not only looks really big and ugly but smells really bad. They say the bad smells prevents it from getting eaten and is also very rare to find. it is found in the forests of Sumatra , it's not actually one big flower it isthousands upon thousands of little male and female flowers. These exert oils, while the center collects heat. The heat of the oils create the smell that attracts beetles that will pollinate it. a mature corpse flower can weigh up to 200  pounds 

acorns and pinecons

What kinds of trees are they each found on? Pinecones come from coniferous pine trees and acorns come from deciduous oak trees. Do they both contain seeds? yes but acorns dissapear there seeds and a female pinecone produces seeds and the male cone produces pollen What are their strategies for dispersal? seeds that are dispersed by wind normally have shapes that help them get carried in air Determine the differences and similarities between acorns and seed cones acorns are smaller and harder than pinecones and pinecones are larger and easily broken. they both fall from different trees, and also squirrals eats acorns.

MIDTERM EVALUATION

classification: classification project -The classification project was my also well done by moeize and me, we had alot of great drawings and put alot of effort and did everything neccessary

Taxonomy:Animals blog post
The animal blog post was one of my favorite pieces of work because I put alot of effort into it showed that I understod the material
http://jaisbio11.blogspot.ca/2013/09/animals.html

Evolution: adaptive radiation and speciation
The adaptive radiation and speciation was another great piece of work the was well organized for Evolution that was done by moeize and me and we also got 5/5 on the questions and i was proud of that

Viruses:virus research questions post
 I think I did allright on this hw because I didnt hand it on time because of soccer but did finish it up after
http://jaisbio11.blogspot.ca/2013/10/virus-research-questions_23.html


Bacteria: Bacteria lab post
This lab was also very good and i liked doing it because we did cool experimennts and learned about bacteria and how they spread and what controls worked better
http://jaisbio11.blogspot.ca/2013/10/bacteria.html

Protists: Bacteria and Protist quiz
This was one of 3 quizes and this quiz was my best one and I thought i actually undertood the stuff and had no problem in the labeling part but overall got 15/21 but im not happy with that mark and need to do better

I have done alot of the assignments but have missed a couple due to school soccer and am planning on finishing them. Even though I have done most of my blogs and am doing pretty good on blogger. My quality of work is usually good when i do the work sometimes dont get finished and my engagement in class is not that good because of after school soccer and missing lots of class.

My most powerful learining happened from notes but im proud of my classification project the most and think i did really good in that section and really understood it.

I think i deserve 73% because I have missed alot and plan on picking it up because school soccer is finally almost over and will make it alot easier for me to achieve much better than 73%

virus research questions

virus research questions
PART 1
1) they always have nucleic acid of either DNA or RNA, and a protein coat. 
2)they can have a single-stranded DNA or double-stranded DNA
3)

4)a example of a animal disease is Coronaviruses and an example of a plant disease is Tobacco mosaic virus

5)They are neither living nor they are non living because when they are inside an organism they are alive and can reproduce but outside the organism they are not alive, because they dont have the ability to reproduce outside the living organism.

6)yes there are! there are viruses that fight cancer.

PART 2 

Norovirus is an RNA virus that has struck in U.K and has sickened a lot of France and New Zealand and has now found its way to America sickening over 267 million people around the world. Racing person-to-person across the country. It's a severe stomach flu that is easy to get, and hard to prevent. It is transmitted by fecally-contaminated food or water, by person-to-person contact, and via aerosolization of the virus and subsequent contamination of surfaces. Many more of us, perhaps 50% more, could become violently ill. There are now flu shots for Norovirus. Norovirus had caused over 200,000 deaths and is very dangerous. Norovirus started in 2009.

Bacteria

The bacteria was pretty big but the one with most was the two; that was ms.spains door knob and that had a lot of bacteria on it and also the stairs railing. 

A (top left) was from the stairs railing

B (top right) was the tap waters button 

C (bottom left) was someone's locker

D (bottom right) was Ms Spain's class rooms doorknob 

We used four kinds of controls on a small piece of paper and the only one that seemed to work was the bleach

Reflecting on my progress

I am proud of my Evolution video because we worked hard on it for our final project of the chapter. My second piece of work is the DNA cut and paste image we made and posted on the board. My third piece of work that i liked was the animal classification blog. i chose those pieces because I put a lot of Time in to it and worked hard on it. My binder shows that i finish most of my work but have some missing things and have all the notes filled in. My binder is very easy for me to access and find things. My blog doesn't really show much because i haven't kept up but i am now going back and finishing them up. Engagement in class means that i am paying attention and learning what is being taught. examples of me being engaged in class is me doing all my notes and interacting with people around me. My goal is to get an A in bio and the only way is if I improve in finishing all hw and doing all the blogs. My hopes are too have a good time and getting a good grade.

The coyote and wolf are similar by even their scientific name because they both have canis and they are also both carnivores, and mamals. They also hunt rabits, have packs and also both have sensitive ears.
