Plants Don't Go To Coto and NEVER EVER Procrastinate!!!

Hi, people!!! I hope you're (not your) not relaxing and you're studying for NEXT THURSDAY'S TEST!!! I was watching a film called "Across the Universe" full of songs by the beatles and it ended like this:



As we discussed in our last classes, plants don't need to get their food, they can produce it!!! So, The Beatles were wrong when they say "ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE"!!! This is not correct about plants, all they need is SUNLIGHT, CARBON DIOXIDE and WATER (and of course all our caring love!)
Remember that the process by which plants turn INORGANIC substances into ORGANIC ( means that the composition is CHO) ones is called Photosynthesis


 
And here you can see my friend Hank again:


I´m also posting my power point presentations (Thank you, Miss Andrea!!!) because it was not clear on your booklet

Powerpoint 1

Plants don't go to Coto from sdelrioandrea

NUTRITION IN PLANTS  (This is the video in the presentation)

 

Powerpoint 2

Plant structure function and transport from sdelrioandrea

Here you have some more useful videos for you to revise your ideas so far (unit 7)

TRANSPORT in PLANTS

Another video on TRANSPORT




Please, Don't PROCRASTINATE till the night before the test!!!

 (Do you know what PROCRASTINATION is?)

So, don't do this!!!!!

Keep on studying and surprise me on Thursday!!!

Are We Sponges Or Ballerinas??

Here I am again, people,!!! This is the video I told you (and showed people from Fridays) about last class. I hope it can help you understand the relationship between surface area and volume. This is a key concept to understand absorption in every part of our bodies.

So, less talking and more doing!!!
A biologist will show this ratio with an interesting lab experiment



This is the other video we watched in class last Friday.




I'm also including my  powerpoint presentation on transport IN and OUT of the cells for you to use as a review
  
TRANSPORT IN CELLS
 

Transport in cells 3rd from sdelrioandrea

Study a lot for the test on FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2nd (Friday Group) and MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5th please, because I wouldn't like this to happen:

Once There Was A Jack And A Charlie Diffusing In Water

As you can remember, we discussed that poor Leo Dicaprio died in Titanic because of 1) the loss (=perdida) of heat to the water by a diffusion process and because 2) all the water in his cells froze and the enzymes inside the cells stopped working because of the low temperature...


It was sad, wasn't it? and now, off with the watery romantic eyes and in with the funny stuff.

Shame on you, Rose, you selfish cow!!!

and ... do you remember Rose´s last words in the trailer?

The Mythbusters proved James Cameron WRONG!!!



I have a special 10 for the person that can tell me if Jack could have really gone to the bottom of the ocean or could have floated after dead (with a scientific explanation, of course!!!)

And for the girls only... the moment when heat diffuse from Zac's body into Tess's cold body to save her life...



(I was wrong, he wasn't wearing a t-shirt at all from the beginning of the scene...)

and now let's get a bit more serious...


(just the information we discussed in class!!!)

And another one from BBC




Hope you like them!!!
See you next Thursday/Friday
