Photosynthesis Plants use sun to make glucose Photosynthesisers are base of food chain Too much algae? You got problems Need water Sunlight Nutrients Fertilizer runs into water, increases nutrients, too much algae Too much fish food/waste also does this Dead zone - an area in ocean or lace with scant or little oxygen Increased nutrients Increased algae growth Increased O2 from algae photosynthesis during day At night, respiration decreases O2 Uses up nutrients and die Decomposing bacteria consume/decompose algae Bacteria then blooms Oxygen is decreased even further Anoxic conditions - marine life cannot be supported Organic must have carbon AND hydrogen Chloroplasts - organelles consisting of photosynthetic pigments, enzymes, and other molecules grouped together in membranes

Prokaryotes- An organism of the kingdom Monera (or Prokaryotae), comprising the bacteria and cyanobacteria; characterized by the absence of a distinct, membrane-bound nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, and by DNA that is not organized into chromosomes. Spontaneous generation- mistaken idea that life can arise from nonliving materials Biogenesis- Idea that living organisms come only from other living organisms. Protocell- Large, ordered structure, enclosed by a membrane, that carries out some life activities, such as growth and division. Archaebacteria- Chemosynthetic prokaryotes that live in harsh environments, such as deep-sea vents and hot springs The Origin of Life Origins: The Early Ideas Spontaneous generation The idea that nonliving material can produce life

9.4: During oxidative phosphorylation, chemiosmosis couples electron transport to ATP synthesis. The electron transport chain and the electron flow down the chain is coupled to ATP synthesis. The electron transport chain is a collection of molecules embedded in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion in eukaryotic cells. Most components of the chain are proteins. Tightly bound to these proteins are prosthetic groups, nonprotein components essential for the catalytic functions of certain enzymes. During the e- transport along the chain, e- carriers alternate between reduced and oxidized states as they accept and donate e-. Each component of the chain becomes reduced when it accepts e- from its ?uphill? neighbor, which has

9.1: Catabolic pathways yield energy by oxidizing organic fuels. Redox reactions: oxidation and reduction. The stages of cellular respiration. In redox reactions the loss of e- from one substance is called oxidation. The gain to the other is known as reduction. The harvesting of energy from glucose by cellular respiration is a cumulative function of three metabolic stages: Catabolic pathways and production of ATP Organic compounds possess potential energy because of the arrangement of electrons in bonds between atoms. Compounds that participate in exergonic reactions can act as fuel. Enzymes help cells degrade complex organic molecules that are rich in potential energy. This breakdown can provide energy to

The Nervous System Function: The function of the nervous system is to control and coordinate functions throughout the body and respond to external and internal stimuli. The nervous system is divided into 2 parts the PNS (peripheral nervous system) and the CNS (central nervous system), and is in control of both. Nerve signals are transmitted through these systems. Interdependence: The nervous system relies on the muscular system to work properly. Organism Comparison: A flatworm?s nervous system is simpler compared to humans. It has nerve cords that control its actions. The Skeletal System

Reuben Chemmanam K. Medlin English 2 5 September 2013 The Ugly Facts The outline of this author?s article implies that America?s new generation is heading into a discouraging future. Furthermore, she states that only 33 percent of eighth-graders and 24 percent of twelfth-graders were proficient at writing with only a pencil and paper in 2007. The author blames misspelled advertisements, language-poor environments, and schools. Her argument mostly dwells on the lax method of teaching writing in modern education. The article suggests we push every one of our pupils to learn how to write despite their learning styles. Overall she says that teaching the students how to write proficiently makes them successful in life.

Macromolecules Macromolecules The topic of macromolecules lends itself well to illustrate three integral themes woven throughout the text and course: There is a natural hierarchy of structural level in biological organization As one moves up the hierarchy, new properties emerge because of interactions among subunits at the lower levels Form fits function. Most macromolecules are polymers Polymer = (Poly = many; mer = part) Large molecule consisting of many identical or similar subunits connected together. Monomer = Subunit or building block molecule of a polymer. Macromolecule = (Macro large) Large organic polymer. Formation of macromolecules from smaller building block molecules represents another level in the hierarchy of biological organization.

Danielle Carlin February 8, 2012 Mr. Weston Period 6 Color Poem: Tan The color of my skin during the long summer days While lying in the sun on the dock of the bays I sit here and stare at the tides rolling away As I continue to stare, my skin gets darker as I lay In this time of the year The smell of pumpkin pie is clear A smell so sweet that everyone will cheer For everyone now knows fall is near As I run through the fields of barley and wheat I feel them moving under my feet The sun reflects the tan color of those foods we eat As someone picks them to make them into a nice tasty treat The dog next door Ever so loudly barking while sitting on the floor The dog?s tan fur whooshed when he ran outside like it always had before
