• Today in class, what we did is we took out our homework. then, mr finley handed out our quizes from moday. he told us that alot did mad and a few did ok. he said we can correct them but you wont get extra point. this weekend, if you did bad, you have to study them! so in the future, you know what the cells part are. to the right, you see a picture of a picture of an image that was on the test. afterwards, a student in a different class, made a problem about the characterist of live. it was living, nonliving, and brother's dog. the students brother dogs died so he doesnt know what catorgy to put it in. so people were making ideas about where should it go. instead of brother's dog, we put dead. then, we talked about limabeans were would it go. we said the limabean would go into dormont catogory which has an arrow od potential to corve alive/living. an arrow to dead is was once living. so brothers dog goes to the dead catorgy and the limabean goes to the dormint catorgy. then we talk about a substance catorgy. we said dog. then under that we said puggle and beagle. after that we talk about the two terms, biotic and abiotic. biotic goes with the living catorgey and the abiotic goes with the nonliving catorgy. abiotic kills certain things alife. then, we talked about how cant an abiotic cant kill a virus? well a virus is alive and an a abitic is alive. after that little group talk, we talked about the homework. i think that the 1st student was right because an organisms are made up of cekks and so can cells. an other student said the 1st student wasnt wrong but wasnt right because depending on the cell area, it cant be made up of an organism. another student said said they do agree with each other. for example, if you take down a tree branch, you dont know if the cells in the tree are alive. a student said that when mr finley said when you scartch yourself, dead cells are coming off. which was right. then we talked about student two on the homework, we said they were on the right track. after we finish talking about the homework, we talked about a sing-cell. we studied a single-cell before which was bacteria and a parasite. are all cells organims. no there not because the red blood cells are not an organims. can a redblood cell survive by itself? yes it can and so can bacteria. thats what we talked/ did in class today! :)
