Taking a deeper look into Photosynthesis (10 points)

1. Two hydrogen bond with one oxygen to form water 
2. LEO: Lose Electron Oxidation
3. GER: Gain Electron Reduction
4. PS2 and PS1 must have light to stimulate it so that it can gain electrons
5. Photalysis is when an electron from a water molecule is being taken away
6. PQ takes the electrons away from PS2 and becomes PQH2
7. b6f then takes the electrons which then forms a bridge with PQH2 to allow hydrogen atoms to enter
8. PC then take's b6f's electrons but then is later on taken away by PS1 when it is stimulated by sunlight
9. FD then takes away the electrons then FNR.  NADP breaks up the sister bonds, splitting them into two, only taking one and leaving the other
10. STP synthase is when the spinning is slowed down for the hydrogen to be released 

Pig Dissection Blog

Last week I did the second dissection ever, and hopefully my last.  This Dissection was to be helpful in enriching us about the systems (nervous, endocrine and urinary).  I personally did not enjoy doing the dissection (strange how I am able to watch Hannibal, but not be able to handle a dissection), but being able to see it in three dimensional form and not just on a flat piece of paper, made me have a better understanding of how each system worked.

Day 1: Dissection of lower body

Here we are trying to see if our fetal pig is a boy or girl, but we were not able to; we would need to see if there are ovaries in the fetal pig or not

Let the dissection begin:

We then start taking out it's organs

Small intestine

Kidneys

 Spleen

 We accidentally burst the stomach

Bottom half complete 

Day 2: Dissection of upper body

Cutting through thoracic cavity

Time to take out everything from the top half

Here we have the heart

Lungs

Here we are trying to take out the brain as carefully as possible.

well that didn't go as well as expected

Time to go dissect the eye

Here's the lens the other group's fetal pig

All in all the dissection was alright.  I actually had enough guts to cut open the skull which was a pretty okay experience that I do not ever want to do again.
