Components of the Blood
White Blood Cells, contain antibodies to fight against antigens and bacteria (Phagocytes and Lymphocytes)
Erythrocytes (Red Blood Cells), allows for the transfer of substances through the body, like Oxygen and Nutrients
Platelets, causes blood to clot easier and patches together wounds to form scabs
Cycles
Carbon Cycle
Carbon in atmosphere is taken in by plants (photosynthesis) which are eaten by animals (carbon is now inside the animals). Animals die and decomposers take in carbon and release it through respiration.
Water Cycle
Water from lakes and puddles evaporates and form clouds. Clouds move and, as water droplets become too heavy, fall as rain, hail, snow, etc (precipitation). Water collects into lakes, rivers and oceans and the cycle repeats.
Nitrogen Cycle
Nitrogen in air becomes Nitrates by Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria, which is absorbed by plants. Animals feeding on plants causes Nitrates to go into the animals. The animals die and Decomposers release Nitrates back into soil. Denitrifying Bacteria turn Nitrates into Nitrogen.
Anaerobic Respiration
-Releases less energy but is quicker, does not require oxygen, causes a buildup of Lactic Acid which causes Muscle Fatigue, can also cause a buildup of CO2
Aerobic Respiration
-Requires oxygen, releases more energy but is slower, removes CO2

Mutualism and Parasitism
Mutualism, where both organisms benefit from the relationship (shark and cleaner fish, birds and crocodiles)
Parasitism, where one organism benefits and causes harm to the other (tapeworms, mosquitoes)
Systematic Sampling
Measure distance from one spot to another using belt transect, then place quadrats at measured intervals. Measure amount of organisms in each Quadrat and record results. Repeat and calculate a mean.
Random Sampling
Make coordinates of an area, then use RNG (random number generator) to make coordinates. Go to coordinates and record results using quadrats. Estimate results by scaling up numbers.
