this week....

OK im very sorry but there isnt much to say this time around because we mostly did the same thing as last week and i went over that in my last post. im pretty sure i went over all the population stuff but i guess ill just say that for sake of my grade on this entry...
all populations are dynamic, meaning they are always changing.
if it is static it is constant.
and then there is that oh so wonderful max capacity limit. This is when the population cannot go above a certain point

the max capacity is the line we drew above the lines representing the predator and prey population in our notes. I would totally put up a picture but unfortunately the pics that my camera takes take FOREVER to load and then they are massice so i cant.

the max capacity exists for these reasons:
1) when the population gets too high resources run low and organisms die off so guess what? its low again.

2) when they are too many of whatever animal in the species it gets overcrowded and disease spreads and they die down again.

3) preadators.....enough said.

this week we also looked at iguanas, i liked them alot better than the cockroaches so i was happy. we wrote down observations about the iguanas and were ablee to draw conclusions about homolegues structures (animals with similair structures) and it was that there several different kinds of iguanas but they are all iguanas because they shared a common ancestor. so maybe there was a regualr green iguana and from that after generations of evolution we got the land, forest, and marine iguanas. But you cant say that the marine iguana was once a green iguana, but it did share a common ancestor with it. it evolved from the green iguana, but it never was a green iguana, it was always a marine iguana. which brings us back to the idea that evolution occurs for a population, not an individual.
soooooo yeah.

we also had a quiz that i will not talk about until we get it back bcause knowing me i will say its easy and then fail so i dont want to jinx myself.

im sorry but i have nothing to talk about.
enjoy your weekend :)
