In this video, I answer the question " What are adaptations? " Adaptations are traits that increase or decrease the fitness of an organism. In other words, adaptations either help or hinder the ability of an organism to survive. Adaptations are genetically controlled and therefore can be passed on to successive generations.
Let’s take a look at some examples of adaptations from different types of organisms.

What is Carrying Capacity? The carrying capacity is the maximum number of a species that an environment can support.

The maximum number of individuals in a species that an environment can support for the long term is the carrying capacity. Carrying capacity is limited by the limiting factors. These factors may include food, water, shelter, appropriate space, as well as disease, predation, and climatic conditions
If a population nears the carrying capacity. resources become limited and if a population exceeds the carrying capacity deaths began to outnumber births

Steps of cellular respiration
All organisms use respiration in order to produce energy.
In this video I review the basics of cellular respiration.
Welcome to MooMooMath
All living organisms practice cellular respiration.
This includes bacteria,fungi,plants, and animals
Why is cellular respiration important?
Because living organisms generate energy with cellular respiration
In plants and animals cellular respiration takes place at the mitochondria.

Think of the mitochondria as the power plant of the cell because the energy of the cell is generated at the mitochondria
Just like these powerplants and turbines generate power for their city.

Cells that need more energy have more mitochondria like muscles

At the mitochondria sugar combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide plus water and energy in the energy in the form of atp

If you live in the united states,canada, or Australia, you use a 12 hour system for telling time.
If you look at this clock it is 7 oclock. However is this 7 oclock in the morning or 7 oclock at night. This is where am and pm help
.The 12-hour system divides the 24 hours of a day into two periods lasting 12 hours each. The first 12-hour period is designated as am. It runs from midnight to noon. The second period, marked pm, covers the 12 hours from noon to midnight.
AM comes from the latin phrase ante meridiem, which translates to, before midday)
and p.m. from the Latin phrase post meridiem which translates to, past midday
There are 24 hours in a day, this requires the hour hand to pass the 12 twice.

Learn how to read a dichotomous key which is used in classification in order to help identify objects.
In this example, I classify 3 monsters. The first thing to remember is to always start at 1A with each new object that you are classifying. Because each question has two parts you should always start at the A question and then the question will tell you where to go next.

Why do animals like insects, fish, zebras, and even Zooplankton migrate?
Animal migration is the periodic journey of an animal from one place to another and then back again. There are many examples of animals that migrate. Geese are one example. Geese migrate in search of favorable weather, a place to breed, and a food supply. In just 24 hours, these birds can travel 2,214 kilometers from Canada to the southern U.S. or vice versa.

Learn to tell time on a clock that has three hands. The hands represent the hour, minute, and seconds.
There are 24 hours in a day
60 minutes in an hour
60 seconds in a minute

Use these 5 steps in order to make reading time easy
Step 1 start at the small hand look where the hour hand is pointing and write this number down.
Step 2 Draw two dots
Step 3 Read the large hand
Step 4 Draw two dots
Step 5 Read the skinny hand the seconds

Learn about dice probability. How do you calculate the probability of rolling an 8 with a pair of dice?
You can calculate the probability of rolling a number by using the number of favorable events divided by the number of total events.

Running tip number 3 provides a simple drill you can practice each day in order to help you move from a heel striker to a runner who lands on your forefoot.
Running experts all agree that an efficient runner lands on their forefoot.

Learn how to find the slope from a graph. The slope can also be called the gradient of the line.The slope is a measure of the rate of change of a line or the steepness of a line. The slope is represented by the letter m
Using a graph you can calculate the slope by using rise over run. The rise will be how the line changes vertically and the run is the change in the x-axis or horizontal change.

Learn how Meiosis is different than Mitosis.
To begin with What is the goal of mitosis and meiosis?
They both create new cells. Both mitosis meiosis start with diploid cells.
Mitosis creates body cells that are diploid. diploid means they have two sets of chromosomes. In humans each body cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes or 46 total.

Meiosis also creates new cells but these cells are gametes which for males is sperm cells and for females it is egg cells. These cells are haploid which means they have one set of chromosomes.

By using the formula pi times radius squared times height you can calculate the volume of a cylinder.
I also cover how to calculate height if you are given the radius and volume and how to calculate the radius.
This guide will help
0:29 Steps for finding the volume of a cylinder
0:47 Formula for finding volume cylinder
1:28 Find the height of a cylinder given the volume
3:07 Find the radius of a cylinder given the volume

Body's response to stress
We are exposed to stress often and it can trigger our fight or flight response.
In addition, our body reacts to stress in several different ways.

I use a factor tree in order to find the cube root of 216.
This video is part of a playlist of finding the cube root of numbers 1 through 50

Why is Venus the hottest planet? Venus is a terrestrial planet and is the second closest planet to the sun. It would seem logical that Mercury the closest planet to the sun would be the hottest of all of the planets. Mercury is very hot with high temperatures of + 840 °F (+ 449°C) but also on the side of Mercury facing away from the sun it gets very cold - 275 °F (- 170°C) This is because Mercury has a very thin atmosphere and cannot trap in the heat. The thin atmosphere is similar to you wearing shorts and a t-shirt at the beach. The heat is not trapped next to your skin.
Venus, on the other hand, has temperatures of + 870 °F (+ 465°C)
This is hot, hot, hot. Remember, water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit, 100 Celcius and lead melts at 621 Fahrenheit 327 celsius
Why is Venus so hot. First, it is the second closest planet to the sun.
Venus is 0.723 AU 67.2 million miles 108.2 million km from the sun compared to
Earth which 1 AU 93 million miles 149.6 million km
This alone causes Venus to be hot. However, it is hotter than Mercury. The atmosphere of Venus is made up almost completely of carbon dioxide. It also includes small doses of nitrogen and clouds of sulfuric acid. The atmosphere is so thick on the surface it would feel 90 times heavier than Earth's atmosphere. The surface pressures are similar to diving 3,000 feet beneath the ocean. This thick atmosphere traps in the heat close to the surface in the same way a thick jacket traps heat next to your skin.

Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio.
A ratio shows the relative sizes of two or more values.
A ratio can be expressed three ways:
• Using the fraction bar as in 2/3
• Using a colon symbol as in 2:3
• Using the word “to” as in 2 to 3.
Write each ratio using the other two ways:
1. The ratio of 4 inches to 32 feet.
4 inches: 32 feet or 4 inches/32feet
2. The ratio of 5 students: 1 class
5 students/ 1 class or 5 students to 1 class
3. The ratio of 4 boys/6 girls
4 boys: 6 girls; 4 boys to 6 girls

4. 2 mountain bikes to 8 road bikes

2 mountain bikes: 8 road ride bikes or 2 mountain bikes/ 8 road bikes

The key to understanding the difference between hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions is understanding the relationship between the solute and solvent in a solution.
The solute is what is being dissolved and the solvent is what is doing the dissolving
The universal solvent is water.
As the concentration of solute increases the concentration of solvent decreases and as the solute decreases the concentration of solvent increases.
As a result, water will flow from high to low based on the concentration of the solvent.

Objects may reflect or absorb light. A red object will absorb all of the colors except red. A blue object will absorb all of the colors except blue. The characteristic of light of absorption causes you to see certain colors and not see others.
White light contains all of the colors of the visible spectrum which include red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
