The Hunger Games is Awesome discussion

Here we can talk about anything.

Hey

so what's up?

School

same. well, hw actually. im doing my bio lab! we r fermenting fruit! which means making alchohol! how stupid is that! now all the guys are gonna wanna make it outside of school. :/ and actually drink it *makes distugested face*

IKR

TERRIBLE

It is like do you have to do that here

ik... :/

So...WHY are they teaching you that?

i just had a math midterm today. so stressfull!!!

GARY ROSS IS GOING TO BE THE DIRECTOR OF THE HUNGER GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are teaching us that because we need to learn about fermenation. im in Biology 1 and we are learning about how bakers yeast can fermentate fruit.

That is so cool

I THINK IT IS AT LEAST???

Idk what ur saying.

ya it is actually cool but its kinda stu[id to be teaching our ninth grade boys how to make beer and wine. :/

ya. haha im not looking forward to it...
but bio is so hard right now! im gonna post soemthing i had to memorize.... one sec...

Light Reactions: (carried out in the Thylakoids)
• Chlorophyll absorbs light energy
• The light energy excites electrons which are added to NADP+ to make NADPH
• In photo system one, NADPH is created to be used in the Calvin cycle
• The electrons in photo system two move along a transport chain (like they did in number one) but make Hydrogen go down their concentration gradient from the stroma to the thylakoid compartments.
• Then, the electrons replace the ones that were used in photo system one
• Photo system two gets its new electrons from splitting a water molecule.
• Hydrogen and oxygen are released into the thylakoid compartment (this is where the oxygen gas generated from photosynthesis comes from)
• Hydrogen buildup in the thylakoid stores potential energy
• The enzyme (ATP synthase) takes the Hydrogen’s down their concentration gradient and forms energy
• ATP is formed
• ATP and NADHP are used in the sugar making process CALVIN CYCLE


Calvin Cycle (Sugar making cycle): (carried out in the stroma and called the DARK reactions [independent light stage])
• *Stored energy created from the light reactions are used here*
o NADPH
o ATP
• CO2 is first added to the cycle (3 molecules)
• It is added to three five carbon sugars
• Rearranges itself to make six 3 carbon sugars
• Next, the products from the light reactions are used here. (NADPH and ATP)
• 6 ATP molecules are added, creating an additional phosphate group (ATP becomes ADP)
• 6 molecules of NADPH are oxidized, and take one phosphate away from the 6 carbon chain (NADPH becomes NADP+) and creates 6 high energy ones.
• The product of this cycle is glycerol (tri phosphate) a type of sugar.
• SUMMARY: The Calvin cycle has used the energy from the light reactions to reduce three molecules of carbon dioxide and produce three sugars (or glycerol

EWWWWWWWW

Sorry I zoned out when u went to chlorophyll.

hahaha ikr??? its so confusing sometimes.
and ridiculously boring!

IM SO UPSET!!! guess what?! i sprained my wrist!!!! during basketball!!

I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO MISSED ME???????????

lol i was in ur cabin aerodriguez. HI!! missed u all. there were a lot less posts then i thought though. i know, i no. its because its so boring without me, the life of the party.

hahahahhaa

lol. how was it?

good! but we only got two two minute showers. *shudder* i took a half hour one when i got home.

Ya i had to take three min ones on my 6th grade catalina one.

Same here! Except both times we were rushed major so it was more like 1.2

ya and the water was FREEZING COLD!

Really? It was actually hot when we went.

Really? what was the temp? where i live it gets up to like, a 121 degrees.

WOW that is hot over there it was pretty cold

where i live it cold usually

It got to be about fifty-seventy degrees there, so warm.

I live where is pretty hot

thats warm our warm is 70 our cold is -8

our hot is 100

our cold is 50 and 100

at my camp the guy cabin beside ours contorlled our heat so they turned it off. the water was freezzzzzzzzzzzzzing!!!

wow I hate boys in my grade

wow! thats sucks :( sorry Gillian
and it FREEZING HERE!!!!!!!!! im not kidding its like 60 degrees!!!!!! :o
WOW

Right now where I live it is 38 degrees

u guys go by the farenheight system right? 'cause i go by celcius

O I go by farenheight

oh, my phone has an app to convernt that. but it doesn't have a sim card...so i think i lost it.

I just made a bunch of you moderators!! (but I'm still the head moderator, k?))
