  1. ok i read and watched the interactive thng.i didnt really like it,but it did give me a better understanding of aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

  2. This activity shows how the cells use the oxygen that we take in and how some dont use oxygen but can replace it with as nitrate in absence of the oxygen molecule. The anerobic process is the one that does not use oxygen molecules and aerobic process does.

  3. Ok i didnt really understand what was going on and im pretty sure that we all need oxygen. Following the links on the inacteractive site was to confusing and i couldnt follow. well i hope i still get the extra credit.

  4. I think that learning about oxygen and atp,are fun we can learn the proces of the oxygen. and learned that ets carries handle two electrons at a period of time. and about atps.. and about repiration bacteria.

  5. The interactive site was pretty nifty. I'm not going to lie though, the whole concept is a little confusing to me. The main focus of the site was aerobic and anaerobic respiration. They also showed how ATP was formed. I learned the main difference between the two types of respiration: aerobic is when oxygen is present & anaerobic is when no oxygen is needed. That is basically what I got out of it. I would comment on another students' post but I'm not sure if anyone else blogged before me, because it says that no comments are posted. Another website on aerobic and anaerobic respiration: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/aerobic-and-anaerobic-respiration.html

  6. After doing this activity, I learned a lot more about aerobic and anaerobic respiration. I found out that respiration disposes of electrons during the breakdown of energy and that it produces ATP. Also in order for aerobic respiration, oxygen (the terminal electron acceptor) is needed. Anaerobic on the otherhand can use electron acceptors other than oxygen, such as nitrate, carbon dioxide, and Sulfate. I would comment on the others, but none have been posted lol :)

  7. This activity was really interesting.Pictures help me understadn things more and i thought it was kind of cool.I learned that respiration serves as a dispose of electrons produced during breakdown of energy sources which i didnt know. There is a lot to learn in this class and these activities help. I couldn't comment on others post there was none post yet.

  8. All i got out of this was that cells use oxygen witch arobic and some cells don't and replace it with nitrate witch is Anarobic. For the most part i agree with everyone it was kind confusing.

  9. Ok,so, that was a little confusing. But I think I followed it okay. In general, aerobic respiration needs oxygen and anaerobic does not. The moving pictures also helped out a lot though :)
    And pretty much what I just said in general, Haelee did in detail for me. Youre so nice Haelee :) haha. I knew I befriended you for a reason. jk

  10. I have to agree with everybody else, this activity was pretty interesting and interactive in a way. Like Andrea said, it was kind of confusing however,it helped me understand the concepts of aerobic and anaerobic better with pictures and little animations.

  11. The activity was boring. I just went through all of it & read the captions & pushed "go" because I wasn't able to follow along. On how the website explained the steps of anaerobic and aerobic resperiation weren't that easy to follow along with. I did get a few parts here & there but it still managed to confuse me a bit. I didn't like the website that much.
    Reading some of the other comments about how this stuff works does make more sense than the website to me.

  12. i think this activity explains how aerobic and anaerobic work. i agree with everyone else, well its kind of confusing but it does help understand how the process works. also like adriana say reading makes more sense to me too that watching an activity its kind of harder to understand.

  13. So i thought this activity was pretty interesting. Like Victoria and Andrea said it was kind of confusing but helpful. I learned respiration requires a terminal electron acceptor it is most commonly oxygen a process called aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration is bacteria that can use terminal electron acceptors other then oxygen, along with modified respitory systems.

  14. wow this was kind of hard to understand ms. snow. what i learned though is that aerobic uses alot of oxygen or somthing? the interactive activities like sumaiyya brought up were intertaining. i kind of got the idea but i dont think i really understand what they were saying and trying to tell me.

  15. In reality, the whole concept of respiration is rather complex and not taking biology or if your teacher did not cover this well in bio, it would make it more confusing. Just think of the process in steps. Elizabeth, different people learn concepts better different ways, you learn best from reading, I learn best from writing or labs and some learn best from watching/observing, so I try to do them all! Remember, this will be covered in your college classses as well, so getting an understanding now will give you an advantage.
