SBI 4U - First Post!


Hello future Biochemists!


Welcome to your first blog post! All you have to do is to respond to the blog by clicking on comment. Please make sure to include your (English) name in your comment. You are only marked on completion..there is no right or wrong!!

As I walked around outside this weekend I couldn't help but notice all of the beautiful changes that happen during Canadian autumn. To you eye there are many macroscopic (big) changes! Leaves are falling, animals are hiding, and some of us (yes, even other than humans) are covering up, and flying away to escape the cold.

What about the microscopic changes? What type of biochemical changes do you think are out there during the fall? Let me tell you, there are thousands!!!!

Post one biochemical change you think may occur during the fall. Please do not repost the same idea as another student.

This blog post is due on Monday November 22!!

Enjoy
Ms.S.

  7. most of the virus does not tolerate high temperatures, that means that viruses can spread more easily with low temperature. Every day people are exposed to millions of bacterias and viruses because they are in wherever we go, even in the air we breathe. In auntum, the air flow is stronger, and it transports bacterias and viruses from one place to another causing that the skin of people tend to dehydrate. The changes of the weather affect people in different way, as dryness of the skin, mouth, nose and throat, colds, cough and sore throat, and more. The lack of sunlight causes humans to be depressed, change their eating habits, feeling tired and sleepy.

  8. In autumn,people is very easy to get fat. Because in human's body, it very actively to get more and more fats . That's because the human's body is getting ready to the winter, the body need more and more fats and energy to make the body, more fats more strong in order to protect the body from cold.So it's very easy to get fat, if you eat too much. To the people who is overweight, it's better to lose weight in autumn.if they get very fat, their body will get in trouble. they can eat less food that with high energy, eat less energy food , like mushroom , carrot ,and so on. In autumn , the weather is very good , fresh air and the sky is very clear, is a good idea to have a travel. go into the forest, contact with the nature, and do more exercise.Have a healthy body and enjoy the autumn.

  10. I've seen that ants moved their food. It reminds me that in autumn, animals will star to store their food to go through the winter.

  11. There are many changes during the fall such as : shorter and less intense periods of sunlight and winter days have an effect on serotonin which is a brain chemical that regulates mood and melatonin which is a hormone that controls sleep, people also eating and sleeping more or excercising less.Under a suddenly change in temp. ,human may getting sick easily ,the skin ,mouth and so on become drier ,loss of interest in previously enjoyd activities because they have lower energy level,can't concentrate easily and anxiety.And the most common change is gaining weight because human need to produce more fat to keep the body warm.

  12. When the fall is coming, the temperature will decrease suddenly. Because of that, when people are speaking, there will be some "smoke" coming out from the mouths.

  17. In spring and summer trees use leafs to transpiration the water in order to don't let the tree over heat. But in autumn. It is not really necessary to do it. Because the weather become cold and autumn is become dryer. So the tree don't want to loose to much water. And they also stored enough nutrient to go through winter, Because of that the leafs are not useful at autumn. So they will build some cell which is in the connect part of the leaf and tree. These cell is weak. They will fall easily in autumn's wind. Then some of the leafs can still be the nutrient to the tree.
