Final Post


The main concept I learnt in biology 11 was that the fit organisms in a population will survive by outcompeting the others so they will reproduce and they will pass on their genes.  Therefore, the next generation will consist of stronger organisms and this will continue.  This process was known as Natural Selection.  Charles Darwin came up with this theory when he studied finches of the Galapagos Island.  Change occurs everywhere, even in organisms such as bacteria where it is too hard for us to see with the naked eye. 

In Biology 11 I would have tried to study more for some quizzes.  I had studied a lot for those quizzes already but never got the mark I wanted.  Also, I would have studied more for the microbiology test because I think I could have done better on it.  I would have asked more questions, I didn’t ask that many questions this year.
The most interesting parts of biology 11 were all the dissections we did in groups such as the squid, flower, annelid, frog, sponge.  In my opinion dissection was one of the most interesting parts in Biology 11 because it gave me a chance to try something new also, I got to see as well really understand the different organs each organism had and why they need it in order to survive.  Another interesting part of biology 11 was when we went on the aquarium and I got to see the variety of animals.  When I went to the aquarium before I knew anything about the animals but when I went this year with my class I knew a lot about the organisms such as their circulatory system, how they breathed, excreted

Aquarium Field Trip



This is a picture of a jellyfish from the aquarium.  The phylum is Cnidaria and the subphylum is Medusozoa.  Distinguishing character that jellyfishes have which are similar to others in it class are that they have radial symmetry, they are open bag, soft bodied with tentacles
