The Hot Zone Part Four:

This section wasnt really thrilling or interesting to me. Also that in this section it shows how aids consiste=s of multiple strains inside an effected human which makes it difficult to find a cure for. I learned Ebola like aids can be sexually tranmitted. That elephants teach their young to scrape salt off the cave walls. Viruses like cold, dark, dusty polaces to live in. Viruses could possibly be a way for nature to control the large population of the human parasite. If the sciencetists did find something iin Kitum cave exactly what would they have done with the thing they found?

The Hot Zone Part Three:

 I thought this specific section was very interesting because when they all thought that the man who cut himself with the scalpal would be effected didnt really have any effect by the cut. I learned that the bricks inside the effected cells is the filovirus. Also that there was only one way to know if Ebola died in the building by the fryers killing the other bacteria. What id really like to know is just how does a virus survive through the air?

The Hot Zone Part two:

It was very interesting but i felt really bad when Dalgard killed the uneffected monkeys. Also a bit disgusted by the strange things C.J Peters has eaten when he went abroad. That viruses have "offspring" that are like crystals. They pack into a cell. Also for testing you can make the bacteria glow in the tubes by uv lights. If any filovirus were to "attack" the U.S would this plan be the guidelines of how the army and rest of the country would handle the situation?

The Hot Zone Part one:

 I thought the book right away was a very interesting book. The first part is very captivating it explains the threats of ebola in a very amusing way. I learned that ebola has many different names from where they came from also that it is similar to Marburg. Also that there are three spaces you can bleed through which was very interesting to me. What is a biosaftery level and exactly what determines the level? How is it that a virus cal travel through the air to another host?

Hydrophilic

Hydrophilic substances dissolve in water, such as salt and sugar.
Hydrophobic substances, such as sand, do not dissolve in water.

Amniotic Egg

Amniotic eggs are laid by Reptiles, birds, and mammals. They consist of a protective outer shell, with small holes for oxygen, with air and waste filtration structures inside, along with yolk for nutrients for the organism.

C3 Plant

C3 Plants transform Carbon Dioxide into a compound with three Carbon atoms to be used in photosynthesis. C3 plants are generally found in areas with temperate climates.

Wheat, which was used to make these breads, is a C3 plant.

Basidiomycete

The Basidiomycetes are a Phylum of Fungi, which includes Puffballs, Stinkhorns, and these Mushrooms.

Lipid used for Energy Storage

Lipids are the strongest source of energy, although not processed as quickly by the body as carbohydrates. They are generally stored as fat in animals, and oil in plants.

These sticks of butter are lipids.

Bilateral Symmetry

Bilateral Symmetry is found in an organism that mirrors itself down the middle, mirror images on both sides, such as with these Sand Dollars.

Lipid used for Energy Storage : structural components of cell membranes in an aqueous environment.

Autotroph : an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide.

Xylem : compound tissue in vascular plants that helps provide support andconducts water and nutrients upward from the roots. It is made of tracheids, vessels, parenchyma cells, and woody fibers.

 

Cambium : a cellular plant tissue from which pphloem, xylem, or cork grows by division resulting in secondary thickening.

Population

A population is a group of animals of the same species. This picture shows a population of birds.

Territorial behavior

Territorial behavior is when an animal protects is territory. My cat is shows territorial behavior when she sees birds fly past our door.

Niche

A niche is an animals home. This hole is home to many ants.

Homologous structures

Homologous structures are structures in different species that are similar. My hand and my cat's paw are similar structures.

Exoskeleton

An exoskeleton is the hard covering on an animal that provides protection and points of attachment of muscles. Ants are animals that have an exoskeleton.

Connective tissue

Connective tissue is the tissue that connects cells in an animals body. The webbed part of my hand is an example of connective tissue.

Hot Zone Part Three

I am not sure why but this was the most interesting part to me. It was sad but understanding how they had to kill the more little evil monkeys. I wish they could figure if the virus really spread through the air and where it came from. Also found it intersting when the four takers caught Ebola. No questions.

Hot Zone Part Four

This part was way more confusing than the other parts but less gruesome. It was creepy how the auther says it will be back but if it comes to America, we may be ready for it. I Still wish there was a cure for this virus. Overall, the book kept me interested and I enjoyed it.

Ovary

This apple is an example of an ovary because this fruit protects the seeds inside.
(PS-All uploads will be late. Talked to Ms. Ferrar. Posting as many as I can.

Basidiomycete : Fungus whose spores develop usually at the tip of s of slender projections.

Frond : Leaf or leaflike part of a palm, fern, or similar plant.
