Gattaca essay
“Jerome was engineered with everything needed to get into gattaca...except for the desire to do so”. I think this quote means that he was made up with every single talent to go to gattaca and go to space, but he never really wanted to. This makes sense because throughout the whole movie(or since we met him) he always had signs of depression. In the beginning it wasn’t that bad and we couldn’t really tell, but more and more throughout the story he started showing it little by little. Also, we learned that he didn’t jump out in front of the car because he was drunk, he said he was never more sober in his life. That just makes it obvious that he was going through depression with his life. This shows that he did not have the desire to do so and he just wanted to stay at home and get drunk all day.
Glass/Water as invisible obstacles Vincent must overcome. This makes sense because he had to overcome both of these obstacles in the movie and he did. The first one was when he was cleaning the glass. the custodian told him not to clean the glass to well so he couldn’t see the spaceships going off but he overcame that and at the end he actually made it in on. The other one was the water. He played the game of chicken with his brother and everytime he never won. But later on he played him again and he actually beat him. That shows that he overcame the obstacle of water.
Perfection vs happiness. I would not want my child to be perfect because i want him to be different from other people because then there is no purpose of having a kid because everyone is the same. It is devoided of happiness because they are all the same and they want to all do the sames thing so there is nothing fun about what they are doing.
who wants to live a million years
1. In who wants to live a million years it took me about 5 to win a game. I think it took this long because i was picking all the wrong types of versions of the animal. It means the way that the species look or the genes that it has affects how they will survive in certain weather conditions.
2. I selected all different types of phenotypes so i can survive in all the weather conditions. The ones that made me survive the longest was short and puffy, tall and skinny, and camo. i think i survived with these because each one was able to survive in each weather conditions.
3. yes they would get very affected if there was a genetic drift because they would all die off. i saw that it caused them to all die off.
4. i think the tall and fat ones were the most dominant because they can stand the cold and they can run from predators, but the short and fat ones can stand the cold but they will die off if any predators come because they can't run away
5. a.short and fat
b.tall and skinny
c.tall and skinny
d.tall and skinny
6. I would add more verities of species because it will make it more challenging and fun. another thing i would change is different animals like tigers or bears. The last thing that i would change would be maybe a little more information on the species.

closing up our blogs- interview- Matt's seed story
What have you learned?- That making plants is a fun and cool experience
What surprised or amazed you?-That my plant actually survived all these months
What made you laugh?-That my plant actually survived all these months. haha!
What made you pause and think a little deeper?- A lot of the blog posts were hard and I had to think a lot during some of them

Cell division is characterised by the segregation of genetic material and the redistribution of cellular contents facilitated by the cytoskeleton. Plant cells derive from divisions in the meristems of developing organs. However, plant cells are enclosed in rigid cell walls, unable to migrate and change their location within tissues. plants have developed unique cytoskeletal arrays and molecular mechanism to determine the division plane very early in mitosis and to facilitate the synthesis and insertion of the partitioning cell plate at the end of cell division
Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the sun.Although photosynthesis is performed differently by different species, the process always begins when energy from light is absorbed by protiens called reaction centres that contain green chlorophyll pigments.
Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water.
The process occurs in two phases:

Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water.
The process occurs in two phases:
- glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid
- the complete oxidation of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and water
In eukaryotes, glycolysis occurs in the cytosol.The remaining processes take place in mitochondria.

Living or not?
Hello guys, my plants are doing really good right now at the moment. It feels so good that I am growing good healthy food and it is going to be so fun to eat them later:)
so today I am really here to convince some people that plants are really living the main argument I would have if someone told me that plants are not alive is simply that they grow. Any living thing will grow maybe they grow 2 feet or they grow 5 feet, no matter what if they grow they will be considered a living thing.

Biogeochemical cycles and our plants
Overall the plants have changed quite a bit over the time we started the project. You can totally tell the difference from when we first started to now. The overall height has changed and a little bit of the width has changed since we have started this.
The water cycle has been affecting the plants by plants put down roots to draw water and nutrients up to the stems and the leaves, some of the water is returned to the air by transportation. during dry period, transportation can contribute to the loss of moisture in the upper soil zone.
The carbon cycle relates to the overall changes in the plants by the carbon from the atmosphere going to our plants through the soil and right back out back to the atmosphere, the cool thing is it does that same process through animal and the ocean but the most fastest biological cycle depends mostly on plants.
The Nitrogen cycle relates to the overall changes in the plants because the plants need the nitrogen to produce the Amino acids, DNA, and the proteins.
