Scribe post

Hey guys,

As soon as we came in we got to get a stamp for UP pages for 8.1 section. We then got a diagram of the leaf and we wrote down the functions along with labeling it. Here is some key points:
  • Culticle: keeps the water in (the waxy feeling of a plant)
  • Water comes out as transpiration
  • Stomata: openning that does gas exchange and water
  • Vascular tissue: Xylem and phyloem and transport tissue
  • Palisade: absords light for photosythenis
After this, we went over our plant of the day which was the "Living Stone." The living stone is also a succulent plant and some people believe they look like stones to stop predators from eating them.
After this we got in groups to discuss questions of UP 61 which was about 6 questions asking about energy and what you know about photosythenis. Some of the key points of the UP 61 is listed below:
  • You can't create or destroy energy
  • You use energy for homeostatis and movement
  •  Organisms can get energy by sunlight or food they eat
  • Plants do photosythenis which is a process
  • Photosythenis is where the plant takes in O2 & lets out CO2.
Homework
*UP 67-68
*Read sections 8.2 & 8.3, do UP 81-85 or two page corrnell notes (due Friday)

The next scribe is TANYA[:
