Week 13- Memory and magic

I still want to be surprised! I don't want to know how the magic trick came about! It is amazing to read how much psychology and small details goes into a magic trick..things I never thought about, like watching the eyes, etc...

Week 13- To Live is to Know

Yes, I do agree that to live is to know. Life experience is a biggie. One person may be an amazing student at 20 yrs old, but that is nothing in comparison to a 50 yr old who maybe didn't get much schooling, but has travelled all over the world. I also like h0w bacteria doesn't have a brain, but is able to move through the world towards the things it needs.

Week 12- Cell biology and TCM

Acupuncture keeps the body in a normal state of health so the body may heal itself. It definitely is related to biology by helping the body and cells to regenerate.

Week 12- Extra Credit Environment

Well, I love my household plants, but there are aphids living on 2 of my plants...so sad..I've been trying to kill them with neem oil, but it's not working. There is a little bit of mold growing in two corners of my bathtub..it won't come up with bleach! With all the household plants, I also found a few spiders! I'm sure there is more I cannot see, although the fridge had some mold growing on my celery...oops!

Week 12- Mitosis vs. Meiosis

Holy cow! I had no idea these processes were so similar! So cool how both cells know how to divide..mitosis totally just splits in half and the fibers KNOW what to grab! In meiosis, the fibers know to grab the DNA of the other split to have 23 of the male and 23 of the female, equaling 46...I am even more impressed with nature at this point!

Week 11- Animation

Forgot to put this one in! will edit soon...

Week 11- Chemistry of Life

It is confusing because biochemistry seems to encompass everything. I guess there needs to be a gap between biology and chemistry, such as the pathomechanism to how a plant takes in carbon dioxide to live...I believe that is a part of biochemistry.
