This week we laerned a lot about respiration. First of all when we repirate we inhale oxygen(o2) and carbohydrates(C6H12O6). When we exhale we breath out comes carbon dioxide(CO2) and water(H2O). What we also learned is that both sides of the equation need to have equal amounts of atoms. Respirations happens all through your cells and lungs. This way all of the cells can carry the oxygen through the rest of your body. Red blood cells drop off nutrients and oxygen to the other cells so they can all respirtate. That we figured out since our lungs and cells pass the oxygen through the other cells, there is not as much oxygen gets exhaled that we inhale. The mitochandria turns the oxygen into carbon dioxide(CO2) when we exhale. After we finished our respiration(for now!) we started to discuss photosynthasis. Plants take in carbon and release oxygen, so we can inhale oxygen and they can can "inhale" carbon when we exhale.

homework of the two day break

This week we started to learn about paramecium cells. A paramecium cell is categorized as an animal cell in class but is really called a protozoa which means not a plant or an animal cell. Also the paramecium cell moves by the unicellular microbe using celia. These are hairlike structures that surround the organism and pulse rhythmically pushing it forward or in any direction. A paramecium is a cell that lives in stagnate water since it is a calm environment unlike running water which has a rough environment.
