Mitosis Stop Motion
Interphase: The cell is involved in metabolic activity and preforms it's duty as part of a tissue.
Prophase: Chromatin in the nucleus begin to condense and become visible as chromosomes. The nuclear membrane dissolves marking the beginning of prometaphase.
Metaphase: Spindle fibers aline the chromosomes along the middle of the cells nucleus.
Anaphase: The paired chromosomes separate at kinetochores and move to opposite sides of the cell.
Telophase: New membranes from around the daughter nuclei while the chromosomes disperse and are no longer visible.

What is mitosis and when does it occur? Mitosis is the division and reproduction of cells and it occurs whenevr sothing is growing reproducing.
Mitosis is the process that cells go throught to devide.
What are the stages? Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
How long do they last? You can explain what you learned about onion root mitosis. Interphase is the longest because the cell spends most of its life in that stage and does all of its tasks in interphase.
How does this relate to the current research we are doing with planarians? Planarians use mitosis to regenerate pieces or entirely new planarians.
How does understanding the process of mitosis help us tackle questions about human regeneration? If we understand how it works we can recreate it and begin to understand how it can work for us for medical purposes.

Plant- Mania
Purpose of experiment: We did this lab to find out how photosynthesis works and what different things affect it. I wasn't hear for the lab but from looking at other peoples work it seemed very informational and I would have liked to see it. Photosynthesis works by plants taking in things like water, Co2, and light and converting them to glucose which the plant uses for food.
Overview:Plants produce their energy through photosynthesis which is activated by light. In my project, I am looking into how different kinds of light affect plants growth rate. I want to see how the wavelengths at the far ends of the spectrum affect how plants grow. I will be using red light and UV. I am using red light because it is the farthest we can see on the spectrum of light. I am using UV because it is a little short of the light we can see and it also makes up about 10% of sunlight.
Why it matters:There are many benefits of having plants inside. It has been shown that people who work in offices with plants are more productive and even take less sick days. They also boost the quality of the air. Plants do things like, regulate humidity, take carbon dioxide out of the air, and take out common pollutants. It has been proven they create a more calm and welcoming environment. Another benefit of growing plants indoors is that we can control their condition and turn them to create the results we want. Growing plants under things like UV light can increase things we look for in plants like aromas and colors.
One thing that I would have done differently is been more particular about how I took care of the individual plants. I would have measued each one and been more precise with things like water and tempature. I also would have planted more plants. I feel like if I had more to test I could have more accurately asses how the light truly affected them.
This is my Chi squared data. I used this to process the data of the plants that sprouted and grow above certain benchmarks.
Monocot vs Dicot project
9/20/18
9/21/18
9/24/18
The purpose of this experiment was to learn about monocots and dicots and to see how plants grow.
The mung bean is a dicot because it had two cotoleydons. Corn is a monocot because it only had one cotoleydon.
The mung bean is a dicot because it had two cotoleydons. Corn is a monocot because it only had one cotoleydon.
Predictions
I predicted that the mung bean would be a dicot because I saw it get two cotoleydons. I predicted the Coen would be a mini cot becsuse it appeared to have a net root system.
Observations
I noticed that the root grows before anything. I also learned how hardy plants can be. They can withstand things like chemicals and harsh conditions. Some of the things that I thought plants need to thrive are sometimes not needed. Plants can get nutrients from many different things.
My plants did really well. I put them in the sun and gave them lots of water. I gave them the best conditions I could and it worked well.
