Get a picture of alternation of generations put it in your blog and explain how it relates to plants

The alternation of generations relates to plants because it is a term that is used in describing the life cycle of plants. This treats the alternation of multicellular diploid forms of plants with a multicellular haploid form as the defining characteristic.

Why is dissection an important part of a biology curriculum? Which animals and/or plants should be included in biological studies?

Dissection is important because it lets the people who want to learn about what the animal has in the inside of it or something they can't see and really want an answer about it.  I don't know if these animals/ plants are already being studied as we speak but, the animals that I think are interesting and that should be studied should be wild animals that nobody ever sees.  They should be studied since no one really knows what they inside their bodies and would be really interesting to see what they have inside their bodies. Some plants as the ones in the forest.  Their are beautiful flowers and plants in the Forest that no one has ever seen before and no one might not even know their characteristics.  They should really studied to see what they have or even if they can cure an illness.

Define the different forms of community interaction: competition, commensalism, mutualism, predation, parasitism Give an example and a picture for each

Competition:
In ecology, the interaction between two or more organisms, or groups of organisms, that use a common resource in short supply. 

Sea Anenomes compete for the territory in tide pools


Commensalism- In ecology, commensalism is a class of relationship between two organisms where one organism benefits but the other is neutral (there is no harm or benefit).

Barnacles attaching to scallops, not harming them. 


Mutualism- Mutualism is the way two organisms biologically interact where each individual derives a fitness benefit

A hummingbird benefitting from a flower, however the flower also benefits from it by getting pollinated.


Mutualism- In ecology, predation describes a biological interaction where a predator (an organism that is hunting) feeds on its prey (the organism that is attacked).

Praying mantis eating a bee. 


Parasitism- A type of symbiotic relationship between organisms of different species where one organism, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other, the host.

Brood parasitism, on the egg. 

Your choice talk about something you learned or ask a question about something that is confusing you

I learned about fossils and how to measure their heads. And what type of fossils they are and what type of head they have. It was very confusing but now I get it.

Compare and contrast two biomes describe them in detail include pictures of plants and animals you are liklely to see

Tropical Rain Forest

In the Western Hemisphere, the tropical rain forest reaches its fullest development in the jungles of Central and South America.

• The trees are very tall and of a great variety of species.
• One rarely finds two trees of the same species growing close to one another.
• The vegetation is so dense that little light reaches the forest floor.
• Most of the plants are evergreen, not deciduous.
• The branches of the trees are festooned with vines and epiphytes (see the photo taken in the Luquillo National Forest of Puerto Rico).

Taiga

The taiga is named after the biome in Russia.

• It is a land dominated by conifers, especially spruces and firs.
• It is dotted with lakes, bogs, and marshes.
• It is populated by an even more limited variety of plants and animals than is the temperate deciduous forest.
• In North America, the moose is such a typical member that it has led to the name: "spruce-moose" biome.
• Before the long, snowy winter sets in, many of the mammals hibernate, and many of the birds migrate south.
• Although the long days of summer permit plants to grow luxuriantly, net productivity is low.

The two biomes have different weathers, animals, and plants.  In the taiga biome their is bears, moose, fox. In the tropical rain forest their is leopards, toucans, monkeys. What the biomes have in common is that they both have animals and plants.

Blog #6 Which level of a food pyramid is the most important? Support your answer

What is most important on the food pyramid is the fruits vegetables and milk. Because fruit and vegetables are good for you and healthy. Milk helps your bones grow and get stronger.

There have been 5 major extinction events throughout history, are humans impacting the 6th? Why or why not?

I think humans could be instinct because every living organism can. And also we have found fossils of humans, like teeth, the head, an arm. So humans could be instinct cause they are a living organism.
