Today in class we talked about the homework, and which graph it is. Also it was c because someone said that they were performing at a low rate when it was cold but didn't die. Mr. Finley gave this example how dogs during the summer they crave wate all the time, and led to why our body needs oxygen to perfore celluar resperation. the yellow ballon was in hot water. the green ballon was in room tempurture and the blue one was cold water. So if tempurture is colder then the organism is going to shut down, so it has to be active.The respiration in the cold water reacted slowly and in the warm tempurture it reacts very fast. For the other nights homework we talked about what the difference about anaerobic and aerobic, and so anaerobic means bascically living or activ in the absense of free oxygen. Pros of anaerobic: Releases energy, good for some of the aquatic orginism, can last longer, Cons of anaerobic: Build up of acid that can be deadly, our by poducts Co2 and Lactic acid, relases energy much slower, less energy, and uses other items in your body and the cells. Realtic acid build up are cramps, occurs when your body doesn;t get enough energy.

Conclusion: If you had a cramp in order to get rid of it, take deeper breaths cause your taking in more oxygen. Slow down a little bit because you won't need as much energy, your cells get a chance to catch up.
