Final blog Reflect on your semester and year in biology What were your successes? What were your failures? What did you learn that you will never forget?

Biology was perhaps my second if not my favorite class of my sophomore year. It was very fun and we went through a lot of diverse topics i liked when we learn about illnesses and germs and how fast they spread. Like when we saw that movie of the monkeys and how the disease lead to the quarantee of a whole city i taught it was great. I also enjoyed dissecting a lot of the animals. most of them had a lot  of similarties it was gross and eeverything but i had fun and I enjoyed this class a lot this year. What I didnt like was how lazy I would be to do my projects, quizzes, and sometimes be to lazy to work on my notebook this class was hard at all. All i had to do was do my work and pay attention in class and im pretty sure i would get a solid B.

Blog 15 Compare two of the organisms that we have dissected Discuss at least 2 similarities and 3 differences

This year in my biology class i had a lot of fun , we disected a lot of animals and a lot of them were similar to each other for example the frog and the squid had a lot of similarities. also the worm was some how similar to them too. I would like to compare the frog to the worm in this blog of mine. The frog had a lot of internal organs also it had a closed circulation system unlike the worm. The worm only had a few organs it wasn't as diverse as the frog. The worm was also long and it was like a tube while the frog had four legs .The worm had a lot of legs, the worm is smooth and this enables it to move under ground while the frog has certain limbs inside it that allow it to jump extremely high. However both of them have small and lungs and they must use there skin in order of them to breath correctly.

Blog 14 Compare two of the organisms that we have dissected Discuss at least 2 similarities and 3 differences

In the last few weeks we have disected a lot of animals from all diffrent kingdoms and a lot of them are the complete opposite from each other. For example the frog which had like 3 hearts and the fish that has two chambers, Two hearts. It is very wierd how this animals have multiple hearts but at the same time have many weaknesses. I believe that this animals have alot of complexe organs and systems inside them. But i still dont understand how even though they are from diffrent kingdom and like a diffrent species they still have similarities. Maybe the idea that they are living organsims can back it up as a reasonable supporting idea. I dont know but like a lot of these animals had gills which helped the animals breath and also some of this animals didnt have big lungs so they had to breath through its skin.

Blog 13 What was most interesting about this week's dissections?

What i taught was the most intresting about this weeks disections was that i learned that each insect or animal had a diffrent kind of system. Some had 5 hearts like the worm and others were like the cricket that had its repsiration system under its body. Also i learned that each animal had its digestive system located somehwere special in its body. LIke some digested from its head. Also i learned that some animals like the worm were two genders and later through out the course of there life they can decide what they what to boy a male or female. Also animals and insects each belong to a certian kingdom all of them are divided.

Blog#12 What surprised you from the worm's dissection?

The worm discetion lab was a very fun and intresting experiment i was shocked every 5 minutes due to the things i observed and the facts that Ms. Malonek told us. Like i was absolutely shocked when she told us that a worm had 5 hearts.I really didnt know that was possible, and espically when with a worm which is smaller than most instects out there. Also another feature that i found out was very intresting about the worms was that they are both a female and a male. The are hermis. I didnt know that and also that they have small male areas.

blog 11


Alternation of generations is like a cycle that involves plants for example plants go through the process if meiosis and fertlization are areas that are needed in order for a species or plant to alternate. For example mitosis can resemble the birth of an animal and in photosynthesis that is the beginning of the cycle it is when the plant starts to involve so at the end some how alternation of generations and lthe phoosynthesis cycle somehow relate to each other it is not a big mystery or anything.

blog 10

Discetion in very important in biology when you disect an animal you are able to discover what makes up that animal. The veins and everything else that composes it. for example when you disect a frog it is not like the typical human body. Bones are difffrent alot of things are the diffrent. Species have diffrent characteristics from other spices so like everything is diffrent somehow from there oipposing speicies. I believe some animals that we should start disceting are turtle , bird , and make even some fishes. I would like to see the materials that make up this animals. Many of them have difftrent features form the other ones so it should be fun and enjoyable to see what materials make up the animal .
