This molecule is produced during cellular respiration in the processes known as glycolysis, the Krebs (or Citric Acid) Cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. All living organisms produce ATP in their mitochondria.]]> 2017-08-11 23:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/5zsquv4jjdvv/wish/180787847 jakobmakover https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/5zsquv4jjdvv/wish/180787855 The Calvin Cycle is the three step process used to produce sugars inside plants. This cycle contains three parts: carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration. This cycle begins with RuBP and carbon dioxide which is fixed and reduced into molecules of G3P for glucose with the help of ATP and NADPH. Then remaining G3P molecules are regenerated into RuBP once again. The Calvin Cycle takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast. ]]> 2017-08-11 23:42:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/5zsquv4jjdvv/wish/180787855 jakobmakover https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/5zsquv4jjdvv/wish/180787862 An endotherm is a warm-blooded animal, or one that can generate internal heat. These animals, like the bluebird pictured, do not rely on the sun to maintain homeostasis. Most mammals (birds, dogs, and humans) are endotherms while fish, reptiles, and invertebrates are ectothermic and rely on other sources of heat to maintain their own bodies' temperature.]]> 2017-08-11 23:42:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/5zsquv4jjdvv/wish/180787862 jakobmakover https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/5zsquv4jjdvv/wish/180787866 Epithelial tissue is one of the four basic types of animal tissue and is a sheet to cover or line open cavities in our body. This tissue is used to protect our bodies from harmful substances in the outside world and also protect our internal organs. The outer layer of an animals’ skin and their glands are made up of epithelial tissue. The epithelial tissue of the gopher below prevents dirt from entering its body while burrowing.]]> 2017-08-11 23:42:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/5zsquv4jjdvv/wish/180787866 jakobmakover https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/5zsquv4jjdvv/wish/180787869 A hermaphrodite is an organism that contains both the male and female reproductive organs. For flowers, like the one below, the reproductive organs are the stamen and the pistil located in the center of the blooming flower. These hermaphrodites are able to be fertilized by the pollen produced in the same flower, or the pollen from others through pollinators like wind or bees.]]> 2017-08-11 23:42:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/5zsquv4jjdvv/wish/180787869 jakobmakover https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/5zsquv4jjdvv/wish/180787872 To be hydrophobic is to be afraid of water. All cell membranes are made of a lipid bilayer containing which contain hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic heads. This combination allows for cells to control the molecules which enter the cell. This allows for the lily pads below to survive without being flooded by the surrounding lake water. ]]> 2017-08-11 23:42:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/5zsquv4jjdvv/wish/180787872 jakobmakover https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/5zsquv4jjdvv/wish/180787874 The Krebs Cycle, or Citric Acid Cycle, uses the pyruvate produced in glycolysis and acetyl CoA to start a cycle to convert NAD+ into NADH, FAD into FADH, and ADP into the energy carrying molecule ATP. This process is undergone by all organisms inside of the mitochondria. ]]> 2017-08-11 23:42:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/5zsquv4jjdvv/wish/180787874 jakobmakover https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/5zsquv4jjdvv/wish/180787876 Mycelium is a part of a fungus found underneath the stem of the fungus. It is made up of thin, white filaments known as hyphae which branch out from the bottom. In this picture, the mycelium portion of these mushrooms would be found just below the surface of the ground. ]]> 2017-08-11 23:42:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/5zsquv4jjdvv/wish/180787876 jakobmakover https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/5zsquv4jjdvv/wish/180787878 A pheromone is a chemical substance that can be given off bu animals or instincts to trigger a behavior or response by other animals of the same species. Ants are famous for their pheromone production because it allows for them to communicate. Ants use pheromones to indicated if they’ve found food and to lead other ants. The picture below depicts a tiny ant t near the center.]]> 2017-08-11 23:43:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/5zsquv4jjdvv/wish/180787878 jakobmakover https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/5zsquv4jjdvv/wish/180787887 The stigma and style of the carpel, along with the ovary, make up the female reproductive organ of a flower. The stigma is very small located in the center of the flower and receives pollen from pollinators like wind. The style brings the pollen down to the base of the flower to the ovule where it can be fertilized.]]> 2017-08-11 23:43:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/5zsquv4jjdvv/wish/180787887
