Plant cells vs. Animal cells

Article posted December 12, 2012 at 01:16 PM GMT-8 • comment • Reads 662

Which organelles do both plant and animal cells have in common? What things do both plant and animal cells do? : They both keep things living. They both have cell membrane, ribosomes, nucleus, vacuole, cytoplasm, rough ER, smooth ER, Golgi body, centrosome and micro tubules.


Which organelles do plant and animal cells have that the other doesn't? What things do plant and animal cells do that the other can't? :
they actually look alot alike besides the plant cell is more square and angular, and the animal cell is more free formed and round. The animal cell does not have a cell wall, and the plant cell does. A Plant cell has a chloroplast and a animal cell does not, the plant cell needs it for photosynthesis. Animal cell doesn't need a cell wall, plant cells do because it's there structure!

Microscopic life!!!!

Article posted November 19, 2012 at 01:09 PM GMT-8 • comment • Reads 533

I think that the 2nd kid is right because usually the person who is going against what the first person says is right, and gives you something to go against! Plus I read what the 2nd person wrote. And it makes more sense than the first one!

Microscope!!!!

Article posted October 31, 2012 at 12:56 PM GMT-8 • comment • Reads 610

One thing I learned about the microscope was that, just like a mirror, the picture is flipped when it goes through the lens. There are also three different magnifications, there is 4x,10x,and 40x. Plus the lens itself is 10x. Also we all learned how to properly hold a microscope, you use two hands and hold the neck of the microscope, and the base.

How are we like a Battey?

Article posted October 19, 2012 at 12:58 PM GMT-8 • comment • Reads 662

We store energy in our fat, and muscles. So we store energy, just like a battery. We transfer energy by hitting something (or kicking a soccer ball) you are transferring energy by motion energy. We get our energy from eating food, and we store all the energy in our fat and muscles.

Twin Stuff(:

Article posted September 12, 2012 at 01:17 PM GMT-8 • comment • Reads 1651

You may be wondering, what Is the difference between Identical & Fraternal Twins? Well this Is what I would tell you If you asked me.
Identical Twins share an egg sac, and an umbilical cord, and Fraternal twins have separate egg sacs and their own Umbilical cord.
This weird but true fact about me and my twin Sister Is that we shared a sac and had our own umbilical cords. But there was some sort of wall that separated my sister and I.
If that wall wasn't there then we could have been formed together like those siamese Twins. The doctors said that they had never seen anything like it before! I can tell you this, my mom loves "buy one get one free" sales!

6.3

Article posted June 1, 2011 at 08:33 AM GMT-8 • comment (2) • Reads 1406

1: I think that the narrow side will get greater, because it is small, And thinner.

2: Friction on waxed paper
SA 1 2 3 4 AVERAGES

FRONT 1.0 .8 .9 .7 .35

SIDE .6 .9 .7 .7 .275

BOTTOM .7 .6 .8 .5 .65

3: How did the prediction compare with the results? Our prediction was, that if the surface area was smaller, then the friction would be smaller too. and thats what our prediction was.

4: which variables did we keep? The things that we kept were:
The block, spring scale,and the waxed paper.

5: I have learned that when you make a surface area smaller, then the friction is smaller. And you don't have to take all of the variables to make a different experiment.

Lesson 4

Article posted April 26, 2011 at 08:33 AM GMT-8 • comment (1) • Reads 1220

A: It is better to use the average because your own data could be faulty.

B: The graphs line steadly increases, this tells us that the longer the bulb stays lit. It stayed lit longer, when the batteries were on the charger longer.

C: I found the spot between 120 and the 240 seconds.

D: I think we had faulty data, but according to others ours was around correct.

E: I personally could not have done it w/o a graph, with the graph i just found the middle between 120 and 240.

F: yes, my hypothesis was that the longer the battery is charged the longer the bulb will stay lit. The battery time increased and so did the bulb time.

Lesson 3

Article posted April 13, 2011 at 08:35 AM GMT-8 • comment (1) • Reads 1398

A: yes we built a battery, because
the lightbulb lit up.

B: electrolyte, electrodes. Exterior,
carbon rod, porous, zinc.

C: the battery didn't work without
the copper sulfate. The zinc turned a
rusty color,

D: when I took the battery out of the copper
sulfate, the zinc was a rusty brown color. When
you put the battery back into the copper sulfate,
the light bulb turns back on. Itlostits charge because the
Paper towel dried up the copper sulfate when I took it out.

E: the bulb needs to be bigger, and the
battery needs to be more powerful. Attach the zinc to more zincs and copper to more copper.
