The use of the on line network has really enhanced our learning. This network didn’t just give us a place to answer questions, but a place to discuss. The amazing thing is that we get to voice our own opinion on many matters discussed in class. We...
When I first started learning about evolution I heard mostly about Charles Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection, but I wanted to learn if there is any more theories of evolution. Then I was taught of Lamarkes theory of use and disuse, where traits...
This wed site consists of Parallel vs. Convergent evolution and then more info on Parallel evolution. Parallel evolution is the independent evolution closely related lineages, where several species respond to similar challenges in a similar way. C...
Evolution, the changes of something over time to better adapt. You mostly realize this in animals, but it can occur in other things like viruses. Wile reading “10 Genes, Furiously Evolving” I saw that viruses can transfer to different species. Als...
First of all I missed most of the class period, so I missed the discussion.
Evolution… I believe that evolution is the change of genetics to better adapt to the environment. I have heard of the big bang theory and of that God created everything, b...
If I ever had a child one day I would most likely change his genetic makeup. This is because I would like him to be brighter and good looking so he will have a better chance to succeed in life.
In GATTACA, determining genetic traits would make the...
I watch Animal Planet all the time and I had a thought in the back of my mind that it doesn’t exist. But I was afraid to say anything just in case I was wrong.
At first I had problems believing that an octopus can also live on land, but now I believe.
One of the things I learned was that this species has the greatest brain-to-body ratio. I thought that since the octopus lived on land it would be a more s...

Taxonomy, Naming of Life
Taxonomy is the branch of biology concerned with identifying, naming, and classifying species. Before you can write a scientific name you need to know Linnaeus’s system. Linnaeus’s system assigns to each species a two-part Latinized name, or binomial. The first part is the species genus and then the second part refers to the specific species within the genus. If you have ever seen a… Continue

When you take species out of the environment you also take away more then just that, each speacies contributes to each other. For example if you take a spider away you become over populated with species such as flies, therefor yo...
During this class periods (that I mostly missed) my personal goal was to learn how i can make my diet better then it is now. I figured out what specific parts of the ingredients are good, bad or which one you should look at according to your bodie...
The food that I brought was apples and Wheat Thins. The apple slices were healthy. I know this because it was 100% Carbohydrates and nothing else. I think that the carbohydrates came from fructose mainly.
The Wheat Thins, then, were obviously the...
In the discussion i choose raisins and ho-ho's. I choose the raisins as the healthy food because it is a dried fruit so i figured it didn't have very much fat. I choose the snack cake as the unhealthy food because it had a large amount of calories...
Well my healthy food that I chose was an apple, because I usually eat around 2 a week so I figured that would be the perfect healthy food for me to look up. I figured it was healthy because for one it's a fruit, it's natural, and it doesn't have a...
I learned quite a bit today about "healthy" and "unhealthy" foods. From previously looking into this topic I learned that marketing plays a huge role on what foods we believe to be "healthy." My "healthy choice" is the perfect example. My healthy ...
I really didn't pay any attention as to how much i ate or what i ate. Being active i really didn't care it was food so i ate it I'm sure a lot of us do the same thing. I hear all kinds of diet ads saying the fast easy way to loose weight just do t...
According to the little BMR thing, I need 2041 calories per day.
This opened my eyes because not everything you eat is healthy, or at least the stuff that you think is healthy really is not, and I like the fact that we learned how to calculate th...
My "good" food was Nacho Cheese Doritos the reduces fat ones we get in the cafeteria. Sometimes for lunch when i get a sandwich at school. Well compared to my unhealthy one it was closer then what i thought it would be. I was comparing the labels ...
My healthy food wasn't really a food, it was a small bottle of Gatorade. It was healthy compared to my other choice which was Kelloggs Pop Tarts. The pop tarts weren't necessarily unhealthy but they are as good for you as the Gatorade. Right now i...
So, I'm gonna start with my "healthy" food. It was a banana! I don't eat bananas too often, but my dad buy's them a lot. They're always sitting on my counter. And honestly when I do eat them, the main reason is because it's my healthy choice over ...
My healthy food was a Quaker Granela Bar(chocolate chunk). I will sometimes eat this food between school and cheer practice. This food was not as healthy as the food label says it is. The food label said there was 90 calories but there was acctual...
Today when we analyzed 'healthy' & 'non-healthy' foods I brought in Apple Sauce & Nutty Bars.
My 'healthy' food was apple sauce, I didn't eat it because it was hot, so yeah..I think this food is actually healthy because it has 100% carbs, and not...
My healthy food that I chose was raw shrimp with some spices. It turned out to only have four calories: zero calories from carbs or fat, and the four came from protein. It obviously turned out to be extremely healthy. I don't eat shrimp often, but...
Today, you analyzed a "healthy" food, as well as a food that you thought was not "healthy"
In your post today, talk about when you learned when analyzing your food. Here is what I want you to consider:
Tell us a little about your healthy food - ...
Everything we take in is good for you. Some things we cant have to much of or it is not good for you. As long as you have it in the moderation your suppose to have it in its alright.
I would not draw the line between any of these. If we took out some of these species our world would be over populated. All of these are here for a reason.
When we first had to draw the line I drew it between the poisonous snakes and the sharks. S...
First, I had no idea that the South Beach Diet Plan wasn't a good thing to use! I was really surprised when we read that!
Beside that, when it comes to the image shown above, I like when it's drawn out rather than what's shown in the prompt. To m...
I don't think I would take out any species, no matter how annoying or "gross" they are. They're probably all useful in some way, and I wouldn't want to be the one to mess the food chain up. Poisonous snakes, I do understand, pose a threat to human...
