Water quotes

I think the quote "its melting away... its wasting away.... I need it, theres no doubt about it" is talking about water is being selected and taken by humans who want water for there needs. "I need it, theres no doubt about it" is the part of the quote which applies the fact, that we all need water to live and without it we will fade away with all of the "junk food and energy drinks" there are worldwide.

"It's what we've got, It's all that's it."
This verse or quote is speaking of water that people are in need of to survive. It's what we live on to keep healthy and alive. I infered out of this that water is what we have to be careful of that we can't take it for granted and we have to use it carefully as it may or may not be limited.

"Every Drop Counts."
I prefer this quote to myself because we all need it. We live on it and we cant live without it. Other people in the world are wasting there lives on factory drinks, while not staying healthy. Their lives fade away quicker. "Every Drop Counts" is a meaningful quote which they should look up to. We need to realize that every drop of water counts toward our lives and we can live longer.

Importance

I never really realized that currents were important in the world, and never knew why. Now i now that... They have significant impact on movement of energy and moisture between the oceans and the atmosphere. They are important to the weather as of result. The Gulf Stream is a warm current in the Mexican Gulf and moves onward to Europe. Since its full of warm water, the sea temperatures are warm, causing it to keep places like Europe warmer than others. The same thing happens when different streams are cold, and the water temperatures cold, causing places to be colder than others.

The Ocean currents of the World

The vertical and horizontal movement on the surface and deep water are called Ocean Currents. They would normally move in a specific direction. Ocean currents are found all over the world and in different sizes too. They also vary in importance and strength. The California and Humbolt currents are the most noticable currents in the Pacific.
Surface currents are found 4000 metres in the uper area of the Ocean. They also make up 10% of water in the Ocean. They are caused by a "wing" because it may create friction as it moves swiftly over the water. The friction causes the water to move in a spiral pattern. The speed of the surface currents is closer to the oceans surface and goes down about 100 metres below the surface.

Mitochondrion and Chloroplast design




Mitochondrion and the chloroplast are somewhat similar and different. Chloroplasts are found inside plants, while the Mitochondrion is found inside a cell. The Mitochondrion is the “power house” of the cell, while the Chloroplast is merely the opposite, as it feeds of of it. The Chloroplast is designed as an energy source for the Mitochondrion.

http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/sciences/zoology/AnimalPhysiology/Anatomy/AnimalCellStructure/Mitochondria/mitochondria.jpg is the picture i have chosen because it shows the diagram and all of the parts of the Mitochondrion and how it works.


In the inner membrane, there is a reaction which is called cellular respiration, which the mitochondrion harvests the energy with glucose to make a special molecule called ATP. Basically the ATP is like a battery, which is used to power the reactions of organelles inside the cell.

This is a picture from http://image.tutorvista.com/content/nutrition/chloroplast-cross-section.jpeg that i selected is because it has the full structure and labels of what the parts are and what it looks like.


The Chloroplast is basically designed as a piece of the cell that shares glucose to the Mitochondrion to make energy, so basically a source of it. The Chloroplast is more involved in the transaction between the two, while the Mitochondrion only takes it and shares it with the organelles and the rest of the cell.
