its a great youtube vidoe but how body works watch it Show how the body works through the body and going through the difference digestive system.

Matter and energy in ecosystems

Its a great wed site because it show us a slideshow of the food and energy.I really liked the slideshow because it show you what food chains are and what the difference of food chains and food wed. Tell you all the different things you need to know about the energy ecosystems and even show you about the energy pyramids.

energy vocabulary

Energy -is the ability to do work or to cause a change. Solar energy - energy created by capturing the light energy of the sun in solar cells. Biomass- Contained in all living organisms compost. Kinetic energy- Something moving quickly through air. Potential energy- Energy that is stored in an object due to its position. Thermal energy- The kinetic and potential energy particles in a material. Chemical energy- Chemical bonds. Radiant energy- Energy carried by light. Electrical energy- Energy that is carried by electrical currents.

food and energy

Food move throw a food chain very little energy is passed from one level to th enext. Food wed are models of several overlapping food chain. Food are the second most important way in which energy is taken into the body. Food contains other nutrients and energy needed for other plants animals. Organisms that take in and use the energy from the sun or some other source to produce food.

Digestive system vocabulary

Small Intestine -Organs that make up the digestive tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine—also called the colon—rectum, and anus. Digestive tract-The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract—a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus—and other organs that help the body break down and absorb foo. Intestine- Organs that make up the digestive tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine—also called the colon—rectum, and anus. rectum - the lower part of the large intestine, where feces are stored before they are excreted. salivary glands - glands located in the mouth that produce saliva. Saliva contains enzymes that break down carbohydrates (starch) into smaller molecules. sigmoid colon - the part of the large intestine between the descending colon and the rectum. stomach - a sack-like, muscular organ that is attached to the esophagus. Both chemical and mechanical digestion takes place in the stomach. When food enters the stomach, it is churned in a bath of acids and enzymes. anus - the opening at the end of the digestive system from which feces (waste) exits the body. appendix - a small sac located on the cecum. ascending colon - the part of the large intestine that run upwards; it is located after the cecum. bile - a digestive chemical that is produced in the liver, stored in the gall bladder, and secreted into the small intestine. cecum - the first part of the large intestine; the appendix is connected to the cecum. chyme - food in the stomach that is partly digested and mixed with stomach acids. Chyme goes on to the small intestine for further digestion. descending colon - the part of the large intestine that run downwards after the transverse colon and before the sigmoid colon.

Anatomy of digestion

Digestion is the process by which food is broken down into smaller pieces so the body can use them to build and nourish cells, and to provide energy. Digestion involves the mixing of food, its movement through the digestive tract (also known as the alimentary canal), and the chemical breakdown of larger molecules into smaller molecules. Every piece of food we eat has to be broken down into smaller nutrients that the body can absorb, which is why it takes hours to fully digest food. The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract. This consists of a long tube of organs that runs from the mouth to the anus and includes the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine, together with the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas, which produce important secretions for digestion that drain into the small intestine. The digestive tract in an adult is about 30 feet long.

Digestive system

The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract - a series of hollow organs joined in a long , twisting tubes from the mouth the anus - and other organs that help the body break down and absorb food. Organs that make up the digestive tract are the mouth , esophagus , stomach, small intestine , large intestine - also called the colon - rectum, and anus. Inside these hollow organs is a lining called the mucosa. In the mouth , stomach , and small intestine , the mucosa contains tiny glands that produce juices to help digest food. The digestive tract also contains a layers of smoth muscles that helps break down and move it along the tract. The digestive system is the most point in your body because it help us digest foods so we dont chock or put things in are bodys that are we can digest right. WE also ways making sure are body is healthy and exercise to keep healthy and get healthy food. Two most point parts in are digestive system is Alimentary tract and accessory organs they work are whole digestive system they start by smelling the foods that and the body react with salivating and digestive process begins in paration for that first bite. Food is our fuel ,and its nutrients give our bodies cells the energy and substances they need to operate. Before food can do that , it must be digested into small pieces the body can absord and used. Take up to 20 hours for your digestive system is doing it job teh food you ate travels through your body.

conservation terminology

Through the discussion between Euro-Mediterranean Chemists, Physicists, Geologists, Metallurgists and Conservators, involved in conservation European projects and having various backgrounds, it appeared interesting to propose a formal framework for the conservation and restoration treatments of ancient metal artefacts, bringing a consensual terminology and a comprehensive schema of treatments. This will certainly contribute to clarify what its intended through conservation-restoration treatments of bronzes or metals, and emphasises the pertinence of the problems treated during the conservation projects and the appreciation of the results that could come from the experimental work.

conservation/regional conservation

Regional conservation-A private non-profit organization, The Institute for Regional Conservation (IRC) is dedicated to the protection, restoration, and long-term management of biodiversity on a regional basis, and to the prevention of regional extinctions of rare plants, animals and ecosystems. Responsible for the water , wildlife and plants within the lake simcole water shed and exparded and up graded its reach and conservation areas several time sin the past Conservation- the act of conserving; prevention of injury, decay, waste, or loss; preservation: conservation of wildlife; conservation of human rights. 2. official supervision of rivers, forests, and other natural resources in order to preserve and protect them through prudent management. 3. a district, river, forest, etc., under such supervision. 4. the careful utilization of a natural resource in order to prevent depletion. 5. the restoration and preservation of works of art.

preservation&Conservation

What is conservation? It is the protection,preservation and carefulmanagement of natural resources. And in physsies case the conservation of momentum is an objects stopping distance, in proportion to its velocity and mess. In other worlds conservation meaning using resources in the environment carefully. How does science help conservation? Environmental science is the branch of science which deals with the study of our environment. It give us information about its danger and how to control it. It suggests what steps to take to control it. How does technology help conservation? Technology is help us in the world everyday like green roofs ,rain water harvesting ,ponds and wetlands energy-efficient building waterpoofing.

vocabulary list

cholesterol-A carbon-based steroid molecule that provides permeability and fluid to plasma membranes. Cholesterol gets a bad rap for clogging and causing heart attacks when present in the body in excessive amounts. vacuole-Fluid-filled,membrane-surrounded cavities inside a cell. The vacuole fills with food being digested and waste material that is on its way out of the cell. Nucleolus- A structure inside the nucleus where RNA is transcribed. chloroplast- an egg shaped body that appears green from all the chlorophyll they contain. This organelle is where photosynthesis take place. cell wall- most made of cellulose,this is the tough and rigid outer layer of plant cells. Histone- Large protein complexes that control the messages sent from the DNA to rest of the cell. protein- A chain, of amino acids specifically folded to take on certain shape,one that determines the protein's function. All enzymes are proteins, but all proteins are enzymes.Tricky how that works. Golgi Body- An organelle in eukaryotic cells containing between three and seven flattened membrane disk called cisternae. The golgi body packages and processes proteins and lipids, and is also called the. Stack of pancakes anyone?

what did you notice about the different types of cells?

I learn a lot about the different cells. Their are so many different cells in the animal and plants like some are shape like snowflakes,balls,cubes,saucers,rectangles,boxes,coils or blobs of jelly. The reason plants and and animal come different size depend on their cell. Size of the cells don't matter it's the told of number of cells that make up the plants or animals.
