Instead of swimming alone, many types of fish swim together in groups, or schools. when grouped together, the fish may appear to be one large organism rather than many small organisms. this appearance to protect the fish from possible predators.

this relationship between fish is an example of

Glutamic acid: hydrophilic or hydrophobic? positive, negative, or neutral? valine: hydrophilic or hydrophobic? positive, negative, or neutral?

With the description of the different cell walls, membranes, and associated proteins set in the students' minds, you now need to introduce them to the idea that the cell wall can also act as a foundation to build things upon. bacterial appendages require a strong foundation that will offer the support needed to move and function in a dynamic world. for example, flagella are long, whiplike protein structures that are used by many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria for locomotion. in order to function effectively, a flagellum must be firmly anchored to the cell wall. how will you be able to get across the idea that the peptidoglycan cell wall is strong enough to support such a mechanism? with a protein rod that passes through the cell wall and protein rings used to anchor it in the membranes, these basal bodies are the rudimentary biological motors that use atp power to spin the hook and the flagella attached to it. bacterial flagella have a biological motor that spins within the cell wall and is powered by atp. this allows the flagella to spin in a whiplike motion to propel the bacterium.

Now it's your turn to investigate human impact around the world. grab your virtual lab coat and put on your environmental science hat. you will be taking a trip around the globe to explore three locations. at each location, you will investigate the cause and effect relationships of deforestation, desertification, and urbanization. you will also gather evidence of how these factors have impacted the environment over time
