The organism to be pictured resides in the Durfee Conservatory, chich is located between University Health Services and Morill II. The exact address is 210 Stockbridge Road and it is open to the public 10am to 4pm, Monday through Friday. The entranced used was the one closest to Morill II and it had a wooden sign outside of it that read "Durfee Conservatory Visitors Welcome". Once inside the organism to be pictured is directly to the left in a square pot. The name of the plant is Camellia Japonica Jarvis Red, once the plant is located return to the door and place your left hip on the shelves grounded to the wall then take a picture at eye level or approximately five and a half feet of the ground, being sure to capture the as much of the plant as possible and being sure that the two blooming flowers are visible. Then square your shoulders to the side of the plant facing Morill II and locate the lower of the two flowers on the plant. Clear away the branches in order to see the flower head on and take your second picture. Make sure that the flower takes up the majority of the screen and that individual structures of the flowers can be identifiable. 

It is well known that the first few weeks of an infants life is crucial to their overall development and health. A recent study decided to be more specific and discover what type of effects their nutrient intake has on them. The study found that increased lipid intake within the first two weekd of birth increased total braing and basal nuclei volumes. This initial growth in the first two weeks proves to be beneficial in the long term growth over the course of the infants birth. In certain cases of premature babies the energy and nutrient intake in the first two weeks is specifically important to promote long term health and brain development. The study even went further to conclude that the nutrient take in the first two weeks could possibly correct any lack in development premature babies may experience as early as 18months. This possibility of correction is truly fascinating considering the complexity of the human bosy and the growth process required in infant development.

The characteristic of agility is a complex one that is influenced by multiple genes and enviromental factors. These degrees of freedom and the fact that it is influenced by multiple traits makes the trait very hard to trace through evolution. In larger species greater muscle capacity allows for greater maneuverability. Meanwhile in smaller species the morphology of their limbs and other body structures allows them to turn and rotate at a greater rate. Varying species rely on the specific characteristics depending on their proportional size. One specific species of animal in which this fact is shown across multiple breeds is hummingbirds. Larger hummingbirds have proportionally larger muscle capacity compared to smaller hummingbirds. In contrast, smaller hummingbirds have specific wing morphology that imporves turning and rotation. These two facts show that agility is attributed to both biomechanical traits, structure and overall strength. 

Ephrin receptor tyrosine kinases divereged from other tyrosine kinases throughout the course of evolution. The divergence came from the response to specific activation and regulatory signals that require pairing kinase catlytics and regulatory functions. The similarities between the two receptors include everything from structure, organization, function and the types of pathway they activate. Juxtamembrane and sterile a motif were both found to be linker regions to the respective kinase domain. These linker regions are responsible for increasing kinase activity and regulating the pathways functionality. These kinase proteins are responisble for everything from protein synthesis and activation to hormonal regulation and secretion. 

It might be pretty common info that without sleep buildiung strength and muscle can be that much harder. A new study takes it a step further to explain the phenomenom and the specific explanations. Multiple exercises found that during resistance exercises strength was not sacrificed due to lack of sleep. But when there are multiple straight where sleep is restricted the maximum amount of force output is reduced during multi-joint exercises. But the force output for single joint exercises is not reduced. In the end researchers concluded that sleep is a vital part of building strength through exercise, specifically in multi-joint exercise programs. The researchers also included multiple strategies in order to prevent sleep loss, including no caffiene intake or trainging before long periods of being awake.

Water is one the most presen organic molecules on the planet. It is a foundation of organic life, without it humans are unable to survive. Water is a required reactant for various metabolic reactions, so one would be safe to assume that it moves from cell to cell with ease. And this is true most of the time water simply diffuses across the a membrane via a process of simple diffussion , called osmosis. This process though the most well know form of water movement is not the only way water moves through cells. Other processes include bulk flow, which is the movement of water and solutes due to pressure potential. This occurs in the xylem and phloem of plants. This transport as stated previously is primarily used to move large amounts of water throughout  system.  There is also the process of active transport, which normally occur when transporting over a membrane with very low permeability. In general water moves throughout the body and from cell to cell in various ways and without these processes life as we know it would cesae to exist.

In my plant physiology class we are discussing the properties of water and how exactly the hydrogen bond properties allow water to interact the world around us and its truly fascinating. Waters hydrogen bonds are easily broken, but they are also very easily remade, meaning it requires alot of energy and heat in order to permenatley excite the molecules and raise the temperature of the water. This phenomenom of raising a substances temperature is called specific heat and in the realm of organic molecules waters​ specific heat is extremely. Another fascinating property of water cohesion, whihc is its ability to stick to itself via the hydrogen bond network. But its binding partners arent limited to other water molecules. It also has a property of cohesion, which is the ability to bind to other organic molecueles using the same hydrogen bond network. Lastly water is a superb solvent, this is mostly attributed to its polarity and charged complex, the polarity of water means its able to interact and dissolve other polar compounds, which is extremely useful in a lab setting. Overall I've found this weeks in class discussion fascinating, I never knew that water was such a unique compound. 

The figure I chose was from an article on the PLOS website titled "Mitochondria are physiologically maintained t close to 50C", and although the figure doesnt meet the goals I layed out in the previous draft, I find it very benficial as a template for what how I should set up my multi panel figure. I specifically liked the evolution of the pictures each one grew in complexity and specificity, which really enhance my understanding of the topic being presented. It was also color coded, which made the trends of specific circumstance very easy to follow. Considering the topic of my figure will most likely be less experimental and more observational I think the coloring and the evolution of figures will enhance my readers ability to replicate my procedure and enhance the likelihood that we end up with similar figure at the end.
