THE END

How to start writing this, this is my last entry in this blog. It is a very special entry for me, because I'm not going to write more in this blog. Write on the blog, is a thing I like doing because here is easier do homeworks, post projects and help other prople. Yes, I put help other people because I think, that one of the most important porpose in the day of someone will be to help somebody that day. This is a little bit sad, because think I'm not going to write more here, I like my blog, because when I grow up I can see my projects, how I write and how I was. This blog has been like my "diary" for this 3 years. I have learnt a lot during this 3 years, my speaking has improved a lot because of the travel to Ireland, now, I can speak fluently and better English, now I feel like when I speak Spanish. I would like speak English like my mother tongue. To finish, just say that how all the people say, all of the things have to finish someday, and today, is the day when I finished this blog; goodbye and smile every single day.

Last Self-Assessment

Whan can you do now?

I think that now, I can understand English easier than at the beggining and now I feel more comfortable speaking English

Your blog-portfolio

It has been a very good and incredible experience to use this blog, when I was at second I had never thought that use this blog was a good idea, but now, I like posting here because my projects can be seen by more people and when I grow up I can see my old jobs

Your skills: Reading, writing, listening, speaking, projects...

One think, I like the most of ilingual section, is the amount of projets we do. I think that every project helps us for improve. My skills have improved a lot, first, I wasn't very good at listening and know I like doing listening.
I think the blog, is one of the better things of the bilingual section too.
And for end, this self assessment, said that my reading has improved too thanks to the reading books we read in class

P.E. WORK

                                 Here is my perfect diet, according to my necessary kilocalories.

This isn't my normal diet, my normal diet hasn't got the necessary kilocalories for my body. It is below the kilocalories I need, I need 2153,4 kilocalories and my diet apports me 1743,55 kilocalories.

My normal diet is:

BREAKFAST

-       Full - cream milk (1 cup) *200 ml.           Calories: 158

-              Cereals “All Bran” *100 grs.              Calories: 233

LUNCH

-             Cookies “Oreo” *50 grs.                       Calories: 191

-          Sandwich :                                                                  

-       Bread   *two slices                              Calories: 128          

-           Mortadela *25 grs.                                Calories: 77,25

MEAL

-      Raviolis *100 grs.                                   Calories: 311

-         1 turkey breast *50 grs.                       Calories: 41

-                Yoghurt                                           Calories: 89

-                         Ham (York) *25 grs.               Calories: 30

        DINNER

-     Hamburger bread    *55 grs.                 Calories: 144

- Chicken Hamburger *110 grs.               Calories: 168,3

-         Water                                                           - - - - - -

TOTAL CALORIES: 1743,55 Kcal   * I consume fewer calories than my body needs

                  This project has help me, because now, I know that I have to eat more calories to have a perfect diet.

                  Before this project I believe that my diet was perfect, but now, I realize that it isn't perfect, I need to eat more 

                  pieces of fruit and less snacks. Maybe, after dinner I can eat one piece of fruit more and for lunch another 

                  piece of fruit, instead of a yoghurt.

                  Or maybe, I can try to eat my "perfect" diet, not all days, but unless twice a week.

                  Finally, I think that this project, has been a very interesting project because I have learnt the calories and the 

                  nutritional value of each aliment, now I know the aliments I have to eat and the aliments I "can't" eat.

P.E. WORK

1. Explain in detail the aerobic and anaerobic metabolism and comment on the differences between them.

1. Our body use two types of metabolism during exercise to provide the fuel needed for our muscles.

• Anaerobic metabolism: Anaerobic respiration is the creation of energy through the combustion of carbohydrates in the absence of oxygen. Also produces energy and uses glucose, but it produces less energy and does not require oxygen. This is useful in tissues which have a high energy demand such as in working muscles, in which there is not enough oxygen to produce all the energy needed by using aerobic respiration alone. Anaerobic respiration takes place in the cell cytoplasm and produces lactic acid.  Anaerobic metabolism occurs when our lungs can't put enough oxygen into the bloodstream to keep up with the demands of your muscles for energy. Generally, this occurs only for short bursts of activity, such as when you do a sprint . When there isn't enough oxygen in the bloodstream, glucose can't be fully broken down to carbon dioxide and water. Instead, lactic acid is produced.

• Aerobic metabolism: Is the way your body creates energy through the combustion of carbohydrates and fats in the presence of oxygen. Combustion means burning, which is why this is called burning sugars, fats... for energy. Exercises that use aerobic metabolism, are for example, walking, running... aerobic metabolism fuels most of the energy needed for long duration activity. It uses oxygen to convert nutrients (carbohydrates, fats, and protein) to ATP. This system is a bit slower than the anaerobic systems because it relies on the circulatory system to transport oxygen to the working muscles before it creates ATP. Aerobic metabolism is used primarily during endurance exercise, which is generally less intense and can continue for long periods of time.                                                                    As exercise begins, ATP is produced via anaerobic metabolism. With an increase in breathing and heart rate, there is more oxygen available and aerobic metabolism begins and continues until the lactate threshold is reached. If this level is surpassed, the body can't deliver oxygen quickly enough to generate ATP and anaerobic metabolism kicks in again. Since this system is short-lived and lactic acid levels rise, the intensity can't be sustained and the athlete will need to decrease intensity to remove lactic acid build-up.​

• DIFFERENCES: The key difference between the two is that aerobic metabolism occurs in the presence of oxygen, while anaerobic metabolism doesn't. Anaerobic metabolism is not as efficient as aerobic metabolism. A molecule of glucose can only produced 3 ATP molecules under anaerobic metabolism, while it produces 39 with aerobic metabolism. ATP is what fuels the muscles.                                                                                                                                     Anaerobic metabolism can only use glucose and glycogen, while aerobic metabolism can also break down fats and protein. Intense bouts of exercise in the anaerobic zone and exercises with a heart rate over 85, will result in using anaerobic metabolism to fuel the muscles. Other differences are:

• - Anaerobic metabolism cannot continue indefinitely. In contrast, aerobic metabolism can continue forever, only under theoretical conditions.
• - Carbohydrate, fat, and proteins are used as sources of aerobic metabolism while only carbohydrate is involved for anaerobic metabolism.
• - Aerobic metabolism involves low to moderate intensity activities, whereas anaerobic metabolism involves only high intensity activities.
• - Anaerobic metabolism takes place in the cytoplasm of cells while aerobic metabolism occurs in mitochondria.
• - Aerobic metabolism produces more energy than anaerobic metabolism
• - Aerobic metabolisms contribute more (around 90%) for the supply of energy while anaerobic metabolism contributes less.
• - End product of anaerobic metabolism is lactic acid while that of aerobic metabolism is carbon dioxide and water.
