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.

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.

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 .

Define the different forms of community interaction: competition, commensalism, mutualism, predation, parasitism Give an example and a picture for each. Okay competion is when to diffrent organisms compete for something. Mutalisim is when something affects both of the organism for example a bee feeding off a plant it affects the plant by the chemical the bee leaves in it, The plant is able to carry out the process of photosynthesis. While it affects the bee because it gains energy . commensalism is when an organsim is eating some and it its hurting the envoirment for example when a humming bird or rat makes a nest on a tree. It is helping the animal or bird but it is hurting the tree because they are destroying it little by little. Predation is when an organism is hunting on another organism like for a example a cat is going over and trying to kill a mous.e.
