What I learned from the symbiosis video is that,symbiosis is a term used to describe partnership between two different species. It goes on to give examples of symbiosis such as; bees and flowers or little bird Clarks nutcracker and a big tree WhiteBark pine. Additionally i learned that Whitebark trees grow near the mountains in Montana, Wyoming and other western states. They have huge canopies and needles, which provide cover and shelter for other animals as well as feed the forest with their cones. However Symbiosis isnt just one species feeding another. Its also about giving back, the clarks bird does this by replanting Whitebark pine trees using its powerful beak to releasing the seeds , then dropping them in to holes in the ground. This video helped me to understand that ultimately symbiosis is two species cooperating to help each other for the benefit of all

How Did The Cassowary Evolve? According to The Queensland Department of Environment and Science, Cassowaries are thought to have evolved about sixty million years ago and that they share some characteristics with dinosaurs. These characteristics include their three-taloned feet and their respiratory systems. Additionally, According to Rainforest Rescue The sub-species in Australia is known as Australian Southern Cassowary. Their closest relative is another Australian bird, the emu. Which in the Emu is flightless bird, That probably diverged from a common ancestor of ratites. twenty-five to thirty million years ago. This particular Bird first appeared in the Jurassic period (about 150 million years ago). Which after research I was led to the results that Birds are the only survivig dinosaurs.

Below is a list of sources I used to find this information:

Maya Wall's padlet is very pleasing to the eye but was also extremely well written. Maya has written a ton of educated information about her species, the axolotl, and cited her sources as a bonus. Her padlet is easy to navigate and is overall aesthetically pleasing to look at.

I selected the cassowary because it is not only my favorite bird but because is the most dangerous bird. This beautiful multicolored bird like humans has another side.
Unfortunately, Climate change can have some serious negative effects on the cassowary. Since the cassowary are only found in warm tropical climates; this is mostly because their diet heavily consists of fruits. According to the Washington Post “unless breeders can produce more climate-resilient varieties, fruit-growing regions of the United States will be seriously disrupted by future warming scenarios”. As well as climate change patterns such as an increase in Tropical cyclones may cause considerable widespread disturbance to cassowary habitat, causing short-term food loss. And If the frequency of such events continues to increase, there may be impacts on the cassowary population size.

An enzyme inhibitor is a molecule that binds to an enzyme and blocks its activity. Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions necessary for life, in which substrate molecules are converted into products There are two types of inhibitors; competitive and noncompetitive inhibitors.

Osmosis is s the spontaneous net movement or diffusion of solvent molecules through a selectively-permeable membrane from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides. In simpler terms it is osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a solution with a high concentration of water molecules to a solution with a lower concentration of water molecules, through a cell's partially permeable membrane.

What caught my attention in this termite mini-lecture is the lifespan of a termite. According to this video The queen termite can live up to  20-50 years. Which is quite impressive seeing that they are relatively small insects. There have been many different times when  scientist have found termites that have surpassed their estimated lifespan.

Something that caught my attention from video is what is a feedback loop and how it works. I found this intersting because its not as simple as its name would let on. It is much more complex, A feedback loop is a a biological occurrence wherein the output of a system amplifies the system (positive feedback) or inhibits the system (negative feedback).

My species is the Cassowary, scientifically known as Casuarius. This particular bird is native to new guinea, Australia, primarily found in rainforests, uses woodlands, melaleuca swamps, mangroves, and even beaches. They also use other forests such as eucalypt, mangrove, and tea trees. These areas are ideal for cassowaries because they provide intermittent food sources that thrive off of wild fruits. As well as its tropical climate makes it well suited for the cassowary. Having a tropical climate means these areas have a monthly average temperature of 18 °C (64.4 °F) or higher in the coolest month, and feature hot temperatures all year-round. This is why they are commonly found foraging along beaches.

The cassowary plays a vital role in the ecology and habitat of Queensland’s rainforests. Known as the rainforest gardener, cassowaries disperse seeds.

Why is it so hard to cure the common cold?

# data[].attributes.body
What stuck out to me most in the video about the common cold is what causes it. It is caused by a group of viruses called Rhinovirus. This virus enters the body by getting into the cell lining of your nose and starts multiplying. This virus is also easily transmissible, it spreads through the touch of one persons hand (bodily fluid contact) . This is made possible because of droplets from the infected person that can be anywhere that person went.

Hello, My name is Atavya Fowler born and raised in Nassau, The Bahamas. To be more specific, I grew up in the Sea Breeze community.  In 2019 I recieved a scholarship to attend a International Boarding High School here in The United States of America. Where I then recieved an athletic scholarship to Miami Dade College Kendall Campus. This is something that I am most proud about, because I beat the odds for softball players from my country. It has always been a goal of mine to play college softball and to be the first of my siblings to go to college, which I was thankfully given the opportunity to do. Something that is unique about me is that, I created my own sneaker customization business (Kicksane Kustoms) and have customized cleats for Major League and Minor League Baseball Players. So, far as my work experience goes, im my own boss. I turned one of my absolute favorite hobbies, painting into a successful business, where I not only get to make money but provide smiles and confidence through my work.

Cassowaries (Casuarius)

Cassowaries are listed as one of the most dangerous birds in the world. They are flightless birds that serve a violent kick, strong enough break bones and kill. Not only are they listed as one of the most dangerous but they are listed as on of the largest birds on the planet reaching a weight up to 167 lbs and a height of 5.8 feet tall. You would think that such a large bird cannot move swiftly, but cassowaries are not on fast on land they are fast swimmers reaching up to 31 miles per hour.

How can 'claim, evidence, and reasoning' be used in everyday life when dealing with friends? Well, it's quite simple, and let me tell you how. Firstly this method is used to find explanations, which in my personal experience has always been the way I prefer to approach problems. In a way that seeks an explanation rather than just accusing but to get to that explanation 'C.E.R' comes into play. Starting with the 'Claim', this would be the question or the problem. Then we would move on to the 'Evidence', this would be the proof that this "claim" or the "problem" occurred. Lastly, Reasoning, would be how y evidence is related to the claim but it would also help us understand 'Why?' this problem occurred in the first place. Which I think is very beneficial in any relationship rather than arguing back and forth, C.E.R. provides a productive way to get an explanation.
