4/23/14 - Organisms
Yeep! I've learned tons of new things about cells AND genetics in just 2 days!! All I have left of biology is organisms, ecology, and evolution. I'm so excited! Let's get started:
"A mushroom walks into a bar, orders a beer.
Bartender says, “We don’t serve your kind here.”
Mushroom says, “Why not? I’m a fungi.”

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants obtain energy. 

            6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Light Energy = C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

During photosynthesis, light passes through the cell all the way to the chloroplast. There, light is converted to chemical energy. After that, a phosphate is added to ATP. CO2 is released and oxygen is absorbed. 

Cellular Respiration is when cells PRODUCE energy to live. Cells use O2 to break down glucose and store their energy in ATP. It requires glucose and oxygen.

6O2 + C6H12O6 --> 6CO2 +6H2O + ATP (energy

Fermentation occurs when cells are dehydrated and in yeast and bacteria and are broken down. Energy is extracted from glucose without the use of oxygen.

Organisms are classified by kingdom, phylum, class, order, genus, and species.
