Lidya Demissie 5/10/17 Periodo 2 In this unit, we covered a lot of stuff which was very helpful. in the being  of the unit we learned about domains and kingdoms. there are 3 domains which are Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Archaea lives near hydrothermal vents and hot springs, keeps in track with animals digestive system. Bacteria which is bracken down to 3 stages actinomycetes which produce antibiotics, symbiotic bacteria which lives in guts and help with digestion, cyanobacteria which are photosynthetic bacteria. lastly eukary which helps us understand the true life. Eukarya includes the 4 kingdoms which are protists, fungi, plantae, Animalia. Protista is a very diverse unicellular of multicellular, plants like ore animal like. Fungi which is a decomposer, heterotrophic found in all habitats on earth. plantae is a nonvascular( no tissue to transport water and sugar). Animalia is a consumer and also heterotrophs multicellular as protista. We also learned about inverte...

unit 8 reflction

In this unit, we first learned about species, which are a group of individuals that can reproduce. the rise of two or more species from one existing is called speculation, some causes of speculation are behavioural isolation which is caused by changes in courtship mating behaviours or occupying different niches. another cause can be temporal isolation which is when timing prevents reproduction between population. another thing we covered was constant change and we also reviewed genes and alleles. natural selection was a big topic we talked about in class and in our groups. Natural selection is favouring on certain phenotype and those with phenotype survive and reproduce.       After doing the vodcast for that day we also did a lab called the hunger games lab, which was pretty fun and helpful. in that lab, we simulated a real life world population of organisms and we tried to survive. when playing the game we have to go to the upper field and formed a circle ea...
