Photosynthesis converts light energy into sugar for the plants so they can be heart healthy organism. it consist carbon dioxide and water to form sugar. Then after that they release oxygen for us humans to breathe. Basically it use light energy to make the electrons from the water become more energetic. Thus solar energy convert to chemical energy.
Cellular Respiration: It takes place in cells and organisms. They convert energy from the nutrients to release waste products.
1. Calvin Cycle: It is related to photosynthesis because of light independent reaction. Captures carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and form NADPH then release three carbon sugars.
2. Krebs Cycle: It is related to the cellular respiration. When oxygen presents, it produces molecules from the glycolysis. Then the mitochondria goes under aerobic respiration which is the Krebs Cycle.

Blog 11. Hot Zone
Charles Monet was a lonely guy. He was away from everything and he kept things to himself. Basically he was a loner. One day he begins to get sick and keeps getting worse and worse. he threw up black vomit, headaches, and other horrible factors. I think he probably got sick by touching some stuff while he is out there in the rain forest or sexual intercourse from whoever he did it with or in contact with animals. He got sick and got to the hospital. Sadly he did not make it and he died.

Blog 10: Microbes
These little guys are very good guys. They live in our guts, mouths and skin. They are important for good health. You can say microbes help a lot of animals and humans. They provide the support of our body. Whatever we do they do. They can provide us to be healthy or sick. The microbes are the most important things in our body without them we wouldn't eat or breathe and without us they would be fine. Microbes are the air we breathe, the ground we walk, and they are even inside us. There are a lot of microbes than humans in the planet. These microbes are important because they support the earth and every living organisms such as animals, us, and plants. Without them we would all be dead. My opinion on these little guys are that they really do help us and I admire that.

Blog 7: Glycolysis
Glycolysis is the fundamental stage of cellular respiration because it is the most fastest energy maker to every living organism. They are anaerobic and they do not require oxygen which is a good thing so they don't need the need to do their stuff. The first part of cellular respiration is glycolysis. Glycolysis is anaerobic and they occur in the cytoplasm. It breaks down glucose into 3 carbon molecules called pyruvic acid. It produces 2 NADPH and 2 ATP. Why it takes place in the cytoplasm? It takes place in the cytoplasm because is where all the chemical reaction takes place.Blog 6: GMOs
Why is GMO bad for us?
Well, GMO is really bad for us because of what it can do. It is unhealthy. It can leave a certain material and can cause long-term problems. These things are bacteria that can do harmful stuff to us. GMOs can cross pollinate and their seeds can travel forever. It is impossible to clean up and will be contaminated forever. The side effects on the GMO is unpredictable. It can produce new toxins and other such sort of harmful things. GMO can also harm living things and ruin crops. It can harm the environment really badly.
Why is GMO good for us?
They increase the need of food production for the starving countries. They reduce the pesticides and herbicides. The manipulate the foods so they can carry more good nutrients. Lastly they produce no oil at all.

Blog 5: How has DNA fingerprinting changed forensics?
DNA - means deoxyribonucleic acid. It is a molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development of functioning organisms and other viruses.
How has DNA changed forensics?
DNA has changed forensics overtime because of its unique genetic signature. While using that we can read its genetic code and use it to identify the suspect and put him behind bars. The way we can use DNA fingerprinting is if the suspect leaves its DNA around. If we find his/her prints we can identify it. DNA fingerprinting began in the 1980's.
How do we use it?
We can use DNA to pick up the suspect's information. Scientists can pick up the information from the DNA and find the suspect's information. To use this you have to get bodily objects such as blood, skin, or hair.

Blog 4: Three Advantages of PCR
Three Advantages of PCR
PCR is a cloning process that can begin with a tiny amount of DNA and low MW fragments. The three advantages of PCR are:- can amplify STR in an amount needed to be successfully profiled
- it is safe to prepare separate electrophoresis gels for ash process
- can load onto the gel in equal amounts for each probe

Blog 3: Molecules
Molecules
Molecules are special things in life. They can make up a lot of things. They are the smallest unit and they can be created by two or more atoms by a chemical bond. Molecules can be everywhere like plants, animals, non-moving objects, and even us. They help us do many things. So, basically molecules are everywhere but they are small.

Blog 2: Enzymes
Enzymes
Ligases
What are they?
Ligases are responsible for the catalysis of ligation, joining of two substrates. A chemical potential energy is required, so the reaction is together with the hydrolysis of a disphosphate bond in a triphosphate.

DNA Ligases
The most important one is the DNA ligases. It catalysis the ligation between breaks in DNA by a bond. There are different forms of enzymes, and the catalyze different breaks. The DNA ligase can repairs single stranded breaks using complementary strand as a template.
