Leaves and Photosynthesis

Leaves and Photosynthesis

1) These leaves are from the flame tree. The tree is about 8 feet and doesn't get all the sunlight, some of its parts are covered by a taller tree. The leaves are about 1-2 centimeters. The leaves are rectangular with circular ends. Being tiny helps them get sunlight and they would need less sunlight and carbon dioxide for photosynthesis to occur. They are also spread out which would help them get sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water easier. I estimate that there are about 250,000 leaves in this tree.







2) These leaves are from the coconut tree. The tree is about 16 feet and it gets a lot of sunlight. There are no other trees blocking it from getting sunlight. The leaves are about 3-4 feet. The leaves are rectangular with a sharp end. The tree's size helps it get a lot more sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water for photosynthesis. Unlike the leaves in flame trees, these leaves would need more to feed the whole leaf. They are also spread out for which makes it easier for them to do photosynthesis. I estimate that there are about 600 leaves in this tree.

Adaptations

Adaptations Organism #1 : This animal is a type of bird with dark-like features in its body. This animal's dark like feature helps it survive in its environment by helping it be like the color of its surroundings. This animal kept going out and in of its habitat, and we wouldn't have any idea where it went because it was so dark inside the tree. I believe that this animal was hunting for worms because it landed on the ground and looked like it started stomping its feet on the ground like what birds do to find worms. Organism #2 : This is another bird, unlike organism #1 this bird has light-like feature. This light-like feature I believe helps it hide from predators because they mostly hunt in the sand. Upon my examination, this creature seems to be a seagull. This bird kept going in the ocean in search of marine food such as fish. I reckon this bird was in a group, hunting for food as I saw this bird tail other birds, creating a murmuration. Organism #3 : This

Site Description

Site Description The site that I have chosen is in Memorial Park in Garapan. Memorial Park is an environment with a lot of biotic and abiotic factors. Some abiotic factors in the environment are the blue ocean, the hard soil, rocks, sand, shells, benches, the slide, and swings. Some biotic factors in the park are animals such as seagulls, kingfishers, doves, hermit crabs, and fish. There are also trees, and plants like coconut trees, pine trees, flame trees,  plumeria flowers, and hibiscus.

Cellular Respiration

Cellular Respiration 4.4 Overview of Cellular Respiration      When there's oxyen, cellular respiration lets out chemical energy from sugar and other carbonbased molecules to make ATP. This respiration occurs in mitochondria. Mitochondrion cannot make ATP from food. Glycolysis breaks down glucose to two three-carbon molecules and makes two molecules of ATP, this process doesn't need oxygen. Two parts of the mitochondrion are involved in cellular respiration. Krebs cycle make molecules that brings energy to the next part of cellular respiration. This cycle takes place in the matrix of the mitochondrion. 38 ATP molecules are created from one glucose molecule. I learned more about the cellular respiration. All I knew back then was that photosynthesis and cellular respiration were opposites. I didn't know about the glycolysis and the krebs cycle. I also never learned where photosynthesis and cellular respiration occur.   4.5 Cellular Respiration Detail (A)
