First Mr. finley talked about how ATP is needed by plants and animals to move. The substitute teacher yesterday was wrong about anaerobic respiration creating Beer as a product. It creates Lactic Acid. Glucose can be used for cellular respiration, a part to grow, or stored as fat. In order for a plant to grow it needs to take in xCO2, and releases xO2. This creates another cell. The bigger the plant the more CO2 it needs to create the additional cell. This is how a plant grows. If you were here at the day of Mr. Barret (sub), then just discard an information he gave you. If you use his information you will do badly on quizes, and you will confuse yourself. (In the picture you are looking at a glucose molecule. The red balls, representing oxygen atoms, are in the process of breaking down glucose). However if glucose isnt broken down it can't be turned into ATP. Oxygen is needed to break it down. After the oxygen is used to break down the glucose it is released. Photosynthesis uses light, water and Carbon Dioxide to create the glucose and the Oxygen. This makes them related. The products of photosynthesis are the reactants of Cellular Respiration. We also talked about how temperature is caused by how much we face the sun. In the winter we don't face the sun. At our warmest time of the year we directly face the sun. Some scientists understand advanced science but not basic science like Stephen. He made this argument and was proved wrong. Then we talked about the difference between Breathing and Cellular respiration. We were told that breathing gets the oxygen to the cells, and then cells take the oxygen and the glucose to repirate or to respire. Also blood is red when you bleed because it is mixing with the oxygen in the air. when blood is pumbed to th cells the blood is red because it has oxygen in it. Without the oxygen or when the blood is being pumped away from organs and cells the blood is blue. Next we played a game. However we did not finish the game.
