I was born in Miami but my parents are from nicaragua. I am currently majoring in Atmospheric Science and i attend padron campus and taking all my classes there. My work experience is just starting to build however, I'm working at papa johns as a part time job. I have a lot of hobbies such as on my free time I like to play beach volleyball with my friends. During high school,I was part of the girls varsity volleyball team. I like to say that I spend most of my time going to the gym, It helps me gain confidence and be healthy. I'm starting to play the piano again now but when I was little my mom would take me to pianoclessons and i was surprisingly good at it. My goals in life is being able to succed in life and have a secured career for myself and able to make an impact with major.]]> 2023-02-01 04:50:58 UTC https://padlet.com/javiera2005/vai87wx4pt50fbw2/wish/2464049987 Week 2: The Nature of Science javiera2005 https://padlet.com/javiera2005/vai87wx4pt50fbw2/wish/2464050579

It will usually only be one sentence in length. The claim does not include any explanation, reasoning, or evidence so it should not include any transition words such as “because.”The reasoning is the explanation of “why and how” the evidence supports the claim. It should include an explanation of the underlying science concept that produced the evidence or data. The reasoning is the explanation of “why and how” the evidence supports the claim. It should include an explanation of the underlying science concept that produced the evidence or data. The CER method helps us understand things in many different ways and we can use it on a daily basis. It can be used with dealing with friends and family and having to support and reason with them and there are times when friends and family argue but we hear their clain support them and reason with them.]]> 2023-02-01 04:52:35 UTC https://padlet.com/javiera2005/vai87wx4pt50fbw2/wish/2464051072 Week 4: Species selection javiera2005 https://padlet.com/javiera2005/vai87wx4pt50fbw2/wish/2464059418 The large and brilliantly-colored monarch butterfly is among the most easily recognizable of the butterfly species that call North America home. They have two sets of wings and a wingspan of three to four inches (7 to 10 centimeters). Their wings are a deep orange with black borders and veins, and white spots along the edges. The underside of the wings is pale orange. Male monarchs have two black spots in the center of their hind wings, which females lack. These spots are scent glands that help males attract female mates. Females have thicker wing veins than males. The butterfly’s body is black with white markings.

One thing that stood out to me was how many people put themselves at risk for the common cold by engaging in daily activities. because many people touch their eyes, noses, and mouths without first washing their hands. These things expose you to bacteria within your body and it will cause you to have symptoms which is the common cold.

A system's impact can be changed, either positively or negatively, by a feedback loop. More black ocean is exposed in the Arctic as sea ice melts (lower albedo), which absorbs more heat and encourages the melting of more ice. In this lesson, students will use maps to compute and compare changes in albedo.]]> 2023-02-10 14:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/javiera2005/vai87wx4pt50fbw2/wish/2476482935 The Life Cycle of the Butterfly Discussion javiera2005 https://padlet.com/javiera2005/vai87wx4pt50fbw2/wish/2496391547 https://youtu.be/rcAN4rkTmNU

Even though it undergoes a significant transformation, it may still recall some of the enjoyable experiences it experienced prior to the transformation.

I was shocked to learn that the colonies have specific tasks for particular termites that all cooperate for the colony's existence, such the nasute soldier, and that the queens can live for up to 20 years. This has caused me to pause and consider the existence of termites beyond their role as household pests and instead study about their complex life cycle.]]> 2023-02-27 14:03:41 UTC https://padlet.com/javiera2005/vai87wx4pt50fbw2/wish/2496399656 Ecosystem of My Chosen Species javiera2005 https://padlet.com/javiera2005/vai87wx4pt50fbw2/wish/2496412057 Most of North America's monarch butterflies can be found in prairies, meadows, grasslands, and at the sides of roadways. The adult butterfly uncoils and extends its long proboscis to consume nectar from a variety of flowers. This flexible "tongue" coils back into a spiral when not in use. The majority of monarchs have a short lifespan of a few weeks, but the generation that emerges in the late summer and early fall is unique. These butterflies may survive for eight or nine months to complete their protracted trip since they are born to fly. According to scientists, monarchs utilize the sun's position and the varying weather to choose when to embark on their lengthy migration.]]> 2023-02-27 14:11:13 UTC https://padlet.com/javiera2005/vai87wx4pt50fbw2/wish/2496412057 Monarch Butterfly javiera2005 https://padlet.com/javiera2005/vai87wx4pt50fbw2/wish/2496416326 2023-02-27 14:13:52 UTC https://padlet.com/javiera2005/vai87wx4pt50fbw2/wish/2496416326 Enzyme Inhibitors javiera2005 https://padlet.com/javiera2005/vai87wx4pt50fbw2/wish/2529858573
Enyzyme Inhibitors are molecules that interact temporarily or permanently with enzymes in some way. They reduce the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction or even prevent them from working in a normal matters. There are three important types of inhibitors; competitive, noncompetitive, and uncompetitive inhibitors. There is also a mixed inhibition.

 Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus enclosed within the nuclear membrane and form large and complex organisms. Examples of eukaryotic cells are plants, animals, protists, fungi. Some characteristics that differentiate these cells are the Endoplasmic Reticulum, Golgi Apparatus and Lysosomes. The Function of Eukaryotic cells is to produce food & energy for growth and maintain homeostasis within the body by eliminating waste.

Ribosome's are multi-component molecular machines that build complex proteins by putting building blocks together according to instructions of the messenger, RNAs. All cells need ribosome's to make the necessary life proteins. They are made inside the nucleolus of the nucleus. Some ribosomes are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, others float freely within the cytoplasm.

Thus, changes in temperature due to climate change are expected to influence and potentially disrupt these critical stages of the butterflies’ life cycle. For example, it has been discovered that exposure to cold temperatures at the overwintering sites is the key factor in determining a switch in the direction of the migration from southward to northward in overwintering butterflies. This suggests that warmer temperatures at the overwintering sites could potentially significantly modify or even prevent the return trip north of the butterflies in spring. It also suggests that unseasonal cold episodes during the autumn could have serious consequences on the migration of Monarchs undertaking their southward migration. Temperature also influences the butterflies’ hibernation period. The butterflies need to overwinter in forests where the temperature is reasonably low so that their metabolism is not too demanding, but not so low that they freeze. Therefore, higher temperatures and erratic freezing events due to climate change threaten the butterflies’ ability to survive hibernation.

Millions of individuals that are several generations distant from the migrants from the previous year fly south and westward each autumn from southern Canada and the United States. Researchers investigated the monarch’s evolutionary origins using DNA similarities. They discovered that monarchs descended from a migratory population that probably came from Mexico or the southern United States. The current global dissemination of the monarch appears to be the result of three distinct dispersal processes. Over the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, to Central and South America. The theory that the butterfly descended from a non-migratory tropical species that later developed the monarch butterfly is refuted by the fact that the monarch butterfly is native to North America.the capacity to move. The investigation revealed that the monarch truly crossed the oceans thousands of years ago, contrary to historical sources that claimed its distribution over the Pacific and Atlantic occurred in the 1800s.
