Relations between Anatabolism and catabolism

Today in this blog, I will be explaining the relations between Catabolism and anabolism.

First, let's look at the general definition for catabolism and anabolism.

We first learn about the Anabolism. The general definition for Anabolism is the process of using energy to build large molecules from smaller molecules.

Here are the models we made in calss on friday.

           This one is for the Calvin cycle

This one is for the Cylic cycle.also the never ending one

This one is for the Non-cylic cycle. 

Catbolism means to break down the compound into small molecules while releasing energy.

In this chapter we have studyed for Catabolism, there's the Cyclic and non-cyclic cycle(light dependent), and the Calvin cycle. These are the processes we've learnt about how plants transform the photoms from light energy into glucose, the energy we can use.

Here are the three models for Catabolism

This one is for Glycolysis

This one is fro Kreb's Cycle

This one is for the final Electron Transport Chain.

Biology field trip to ROM

On friday, Mr. chung too us to the ROM museum and we listened to a lot of stories and not I am going to share my favourite story to you.

it is the story of the Mistletoe birds. The mistletoe birds are closely related to the plant mistletoe . It is the form of co evolution. The mistletoe plant can only grow on the top of a tree, and the seed just wont grow on the ground. After all these years, these two species have evolved into a special relationship.

After the mistletoe plant produce the seeds, it will usually be eaten by the mistletoe birds, unlike the other birds, these birds do not have the ogran full with rocks than helps them chew. And the seeds will produce a special chemical that makes the bird have to poop the seeds out with in 30minutes.  It is kind of dirty, but the seed will also produce a second kind of chemical that it is so stickly that it will stick to the butt of the mistletoe bird. It will  be so stickly, that there is no way for the seed to get off the bird by itself.

 The bird will feel unfortable and it will find a place to scrach it down. And that place will always be the top of some trees. After the seed has been scrabed down, it has nothing to do with the bird anymore, and the bird will leave, leaving the seed to grow. And the cycle continutes!
