The cell organelles

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_viruses




Cytoplasm
  • The Cytoplasm keeps the Cell together.
  • It also is like a jelly blob.
  • The cytoplasm is in every type of cell even prokaryote and eukaryote.
Cell wall

  • The cell wall keeps plants alive that keep us alive because they give us oxygen.
  • The cell wall helps the cell grow.
  • It keeps the plant cell safe because it lets things go in and out of the cell it is like a gate.
  • It helps the plant cell keep it's structure.
  • It is on the out side of the cell.
Lysosome


  • The lysosome's j ob is to help get rid of the waste inside the cell and break it down.
  • Lysosome digest excess or worn out organelles and food particles. 
  • Lysosome sometimes kills other cells when it is there time, meaning they are not needed anymore or are doing harm to your body
  • Lysosome equals pacman, this is because pacman eats the little dots and lysosome eats the bad cells.
Golgi bodies

  • Golgi bodies job it to give out all of the proteins to the organelles \
  • It is like the supermarket of the cell. In that the supermarket cells and gives out foods well the Golgi bodies package and give out protein or the cell organelles "food".
Chloroplasts

  • Chloroplasts job is to keep plants green.
  • Chloroplasts that are found in plant cells only.
  • Also the chloroplasts turn the suns rays into energy in photosynthisis.
Cell membrane
  • The cell membrane protects the structure of the cell from inside the cell
  • Only certain things can pass through the cell membrane.
  • Cell membranes also give shape to the cell and support its structure.
Vacuole

  • The vacuole holds all of the food and water and waste in the plant cell.
Mitochondria

  • The Mitochondria gives you energy so that you can do what you love to do.

Backwards-looking
I have done a similar kind of work in the past. It was in science last year when we had the wanted organ project. This was when we had to study the organs cells and organelles  and choose one organ system then we had to research it and make a presentation about it.

Inward-looking
What I found frustrating about this project was that it went by so fast and before I knew it we only had a week to do it.then on Wednesday we finished our video and we would have had time to edit it but when we finished it was time to leave so we didn't have time to upload it. then they next day the day before it was due we went to go get our camera with the videos on it and they weren't their so we had to film the whole video on the computer then when we were uploading it we had to leave so i had to do it at home. That meant that we did not have time to edit the video.

Outward-Looking
I want people to notice all the hard work that we put into the video and their was no weird unneeded material like raping and commercials and shooting hoops. We had lots of information and it was well structured and we had comparisons like pacman = Lysosome.

Forward-looking
If I did this project again I would do lots of the research and make the poster in the first week and then make the video and try to make it better and edit it so that it had much better graphics. Also I think that I would have done the poster on a google draw instead of a google doc.

What are Prokaryote and Eukaryotes

Eukaryote cells have cell membrane enclosed organelles like the nucleus and the lysosome. Prokaryote cells on the other hand have organelles like the cell wall and ribosomes. Also Prokaryote cells have a flagellum to help them move around. But they both have DNA in their structure. Also Prokaryote Cells were the first cells ever on earth. While Eukaryote cells evolved from the Prokaryote cells. The Prokaryote cells are way smaller but they have a simple structure so they reproduce faster. Well the Eukaryote cells are way bigger but they have a way more complex structure to it so it reproduces slower. These days you can find Prokaryote cells in bacteria and Eukaryote cells in  every living thing.

I explained Prokaryote and Eukaryote cells through my quiz and note in class. I did this well because I watched a video on Prokaryote and Eukaryote cells and answered all of the questions correctly that asked about the Prokaryote and Eukaryote cells.

The Cell Organelle Lysososme

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrophage



The Cell Organelle the lysosome has an important job in our bodies. The lysosome’s job is to help get rid of the waste inside the cell and break it down. Lysosome organelles involved in digest and waste removal. Lysosome digest excess or worn out organelles and food particles. Lysosome sometimes kills other cells when it is there time meaning they are not needed anymore an organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane
Lysosomes are the organelles of a cell that contain digestive enzymes that can digest the entire cell and kill it. Sometimes cells need to die, and to do this lysosomes rupture to release their enzymes. As far as I know, they're randomly dispersed inside the cytoplasm. They're called suicide bags of the cell for this very reason. Lysosomes Float around the cells until they are needed. Also the Lysosomes hold nutritions inside of them. Lysosomes are connected by only one membrane. Sometimes the membrane of the lysosome opens and the molecule is moved into the lysosome. The lysosome has gases and liquids inside that help brake down the waste. It also has a sphere looking appearance.

I carried out an investigation when me and my group researched the organelle Lysosome for a group project of cell wars. I Researched lots of things like the function and what it does. I answered my question of what does the Lysosome do and what is the lysosome. I now know that the lysosome is a cell organelle that gets rid of waste and bad cells. It is kind of like the police of the cell.

Magnets and paper




http://www.stanford-magnets.com/f                                        https://www.dreamstime.com/royalty-free-   errite-bar-magnets.html                                                   stock-photos-blank-paper-stack-image11730078                                                                                  

What type of magnet can connect through more amounts of paper? This is a question that I had a couple days ago. So I made a hypothesis and a conclusion to find out. My experiment contained of Bar Magnets, Brick Magnet, and Black Circle Magnets. My hypothesis was that: I believe that out of Bar magnets, Brick magnets, and Black circle magnets, that Brick Magnets will hold the most amount of paper. Then I did my experiment. What you need to do this experiment is Bar magnets, Brick magnets, and Black Circle magnets. You will also have to have lots of pieces of paper and a flat surface. 

First you put a magnet on a the flat surface then you put a couple pieces of paper on top of it then you put the matcher of that magnet on top of the paper then lift the paper and see if the magnets go with it. If the magnets connect and the magnet on the bottom is lifted then take the magnet of the top of the stack and add more paper. Do this untill the magnets no longer connects and the bottom of magnet is not lifted. If the bottom magnet is not lifted up then take the magnet of the top of the paper and take away one piece of paper away from the top of the stack then try again. Do this untill the bottom magnet is not lifted. Then count the amount of paper that was in between the magnets that is the amount of paper that those magnets can connect through. Then repeat these steps with the other magnets.

I planned and carried out an investagation in class when I made an experiment to test what type of magnet can connect through more amounts of paper. I found that my hypothesis was correct and that brick magnets can connect through the most amounts of paper. Brick magnets can connect through 250 pieces of paper. Bar magnets can connect through 27 pieces of paper. Black Circle magnets can connect through 168 pieces of paper.

The scientififc method.


                          https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Scientific_Method_(simple).png


The scientific method is different for everyone. This is because you can be analysing your data and then redo your hypothesis. Though the Scientific Method that everyone is taught goes like this. First you observe with all your senses, (smell, sight, taste, touch, hear). An example is the piano is hard and black, or the piano is 2 1/2 feet long and 2 feet tall. Then come up with a "testable" question. Like is the piano paint able or how many pieces of paper can magnets go through. Then you make a hypothesis. Like I believe the piano was originally black, or I believe that magnets can connect through 20 pieces of paper. Then you make an experiment. Like removing the paint on the piano to see if your hypothesis is true. Then you gather your data and analyse it. Then you make a conclusion ( is your hypothesis is correct or not). Then you share your learnings or change your hypothesis depending on your results.

I asked the question of how many pieces of paper can magnets connect to. My hypothesis is that they can connect through 15-20 pieces of paper.  I think this because normal magnets aren't really strong and paper can sometimes get thick also if one magnet is covered then it might get weaker then the other so that they don't connect. It is like if you were covered with a blanket and it is hard to breath you might get weaker because you don't get enough air.
