Cell presentations

My Favorite presentation was the one done by Trevor and Wynden because they made a very detailed/ professional looking movie. It made it easier to understand what they were saying when they had pictures in the background playing. I also liked how they recourded their voice over the movies so they didn't have any stuttering/errors when speaking. It flowed nicely. The video of how a baby grew was cool too. 

 I learned things about curtain cells during these presentations for example: motor neurons can undergo many action potentials used for one muscle twitch, the egg cell is the biggest cell in the female body and a sperm cell is the smallest cell in the male body, and a red blood cell has very little organelles they have some ribosomes and cytoplasm.

Me and Erika did our project on olfactory cells and neutrophil cells. Olfactory cells are in the nose and they are used to detect smell from the odor molecules and a neutrophil cell is a white blood cell and Its job is to kill bacteria. At first our project was just basic but after we did critical friends they had some good ideas to make our project better that we did not think of before. Some struggles we had in researching our project is finding out what organelles are prominent. They didn't have anything on the internet so we had to use our brains and go through each organelle and think if that cell would need it or not. I think our project turned out really good in the end and I am happy with the outcome. This is how our project turned out.
