I saw this site and found it interesting. I mean I never really thought that Hobbits were real. I just thought that it was something that like J.K. Rowling made up for Lord of the Rings. But they found fossils and hobbit bones from way back when o...
I'm just gonna go through my answers that I put on my sheet basically.
My favorite lessons were probably the ones over genetics. I've always kind of liked genetics the best in biology classes, that and when we went over carbohydrates, proteins, mo...
Whoops, forgot to do this. But here is exactly what I had written down on my paper before any instruction.
Some people believe that we evolved from monkeys because we are so closely related or whatever, which is evolution. But I don't believe tha...
There were a lot of hidden genetic items in this movie, I can see why this movie was chosen.
But if I was given the opportunity to do that, to select specific traits and everything, I most likely would not. It kind of takes the fun out of raising ...
I thought by ribbon they meant like a banner for your website, with the little tentacle ribbon and save the tree octopus or something. haha
Wow. that would be pretty interesting.
Take a look at that. creepy. not exactly that real looking but I guess there are some real species that look fake.
I found this creature on a site called Museum of Hoaxes.... nice.
I think that the blood typing was fun, even though it took me so long to actually get it done. It was really funny watching some people. But it was really easy and really fast. It didn't hurt at all. The first time I kinda missed though and I frea...

There are a lot more to carbohydrates than you would think. There are many different types of carbs and I don't think a lot of people realize that. There are monosaccharides that includes: glucose, fructose, and galactose. Monosaccharides give you high en… Continue

Cell Structures and Functions
Prokaryotic Cells:
Prokaryotic cells have no nucleus unlike eukaryotic cells. There are two kinds of prokaryotic cells: bacteria and archaea. The plasma membrane separates the interior of the cell from it's environment and serves as a filter and communication beacon
Most prokaryotic cells have a cell wall. The wall acts as an additional barrier against exterio… Continue

So its save to say I didnt know a lot, well actually i guess i just dont remember things that i have learned in the past very well . when we did the silient chalk talk all i really knew about was carbohydrates. I knew that runners needed to eat ca...
We should be worried about extinction with some species because it may cause a lot of other species to follow them in there extinction or wipe out a lot of them. Any animal dieing out would effect another animal.
Okay so i agree with most on the fact of varying your food intake on such carbohydrates and proteins and fats and sugars. Its the saame with say a workout routine, if you do the squat everyday along with bench press your muscles will get used to t...
Biologically, at what moment did your life begin?
I think this topic is HUGE because this is where abortion comes in. does it begin at conception? Or when you hear the first heart beat? Or what about when you are born? Is it murder to have an abo...
Carbohydrates….
I learned a lot about carbohydrates that I didn’t no or understand before…I basically slacked off the 1st semester of my freshmen biology class (sorry Mr. Myers.)
I learned that carbohydrates are compounds that have carbon, hydro...
In a quest to get everyone enrolled and on board with our class network... today we will have a "mini-debate." The class has been divided into two groups. These two groups were given different sets of information regarding the efficacy of shark ca...
This is Mrs. Corey posting as Benton Library again. :)
There's a great amount of evidence, both within peer-reviewed academic journals and in other sources, surrounding crows and their use of tools. One of the great examples is the observation ...
It makes a big difference to me because i am an athlete and its pretty interesting to know what is going on in your body when you are exercising. the diet plans are dumb because if you leave out something you have to eat more of something else to ...
Thing topic that stood out the most to me was of course the discussion on the "low-carb" dieting and how many misconceptions we have about it. Everybody thinks that carbohydrates are bad for you and make you fat...but in reality if you were to be ...
I really thought that everything we talked about was important. I most likely learned this stuff in 9th grade Biology, but if I did I don't remember any of it. I also never realized how glucose, fructose, galactose, sucrose and lactose affect a lo...
From the chalk talk i discoverd that i had a lot of misconceptions about what is actually good for you as far as what to eat and what not to eat diet. I guess to say that everything is good in moderation. Who knew you actually needed them to survi...
My learning process through this specific unit of study is actually rather ironic because in a round-about I'm learning about or discussing these topics in three different classes. In DC Biology I'm being taught all of these new concepts step by s...
I don't know. It's hard to stop those who do wrong. Sometimes it's better to not make an arguement, the less drama the better. Not that we shouldn't change what is going on. But, everyone has their different looks because this topic is very big. S...
I agree with taking dieting pills and doing crazy diets, they don't seem healthy! How can a pill give you everything you need? It doesn't seem right, when you can eat food that has flavor and you don't have to swallow it down in one gulp with wate...
"Honestly, I could sit here and type for another hour, but it's really not necessary because everyone would just be reading not only my opinion, but what I truly do believe."
You need to be behind the wheel of your own blog. Period.
When you are ...
Where to begin? I'm not sure what kind of approach I want to take on this topic, or what order I want to mention things. The obvious start would be abortion, but I'm not sure by just giving an opinion I can take this discussion where I think it sh...
Like my other classmates our discussion over diets stuck out to me most. I think the reason this really stood out is because its an issue that gets discussed everywhere. Think about it, you can't flip through the channels without seeing a new and ...
We learned that fat and carbs are actually a vital part of the human diet, but it is important to get just the right amount of all of these and not excess. Also you have to get an equal amount of the other stuff too. Diets like the atkins and sout...
I find the dietary plans very interesting because there are plans out there that are very unhealthy for you. Some have too much fat or too many carbohydrates in their diet. I think the right diet should be a balanced variation of foods. You should...
