small medium large The most current information is listed first, starting with October. Click "refresh" or "reload" to get the most current information. *************** READ THE FOLLOWING ************ Even though you are not assigned written homework every night, you need to review your material on a daily basis. At any time you are subject to a quiz on material that was covered the class before. These quizzes will be unannounced. ** Page last updated on Sunday 11/23/08 @ 3:52 pm****** Thur 11/20/08 1. Test Review 2. Bingo HW: Study for test on Chapter 4 & 5. -The test will be multiple choice, identification and short answer. -Read and review ALL of Chapters 4 & 5. -Review the study guide we went over in class. -Concepts to review: - Comparing prokaryotes and eukaryotes, including examples and structure. -Eukaryotic cell organelles, you need to be able to identify them and describe their function. -What is the "Endosymbiont Hypothesis"? -Compare the structure of plant and animal cells. -Describe the structure of the plasma membrane. Name each molecule and their function. -Cell transport; What type of molecules can diffuse through the membrane; which ones can't? -How do molecules that can't diffuse through the membrane move across the membrane. -How do the processes of active and passive transport compare? -What are the effects of hypertonic and hypotonic solutions on plant and animal cells? Some more specific things to review. - What is the purpose of having finger-like projects on the surface of large cells? - Since peripheral proteins aren't embedded in the membrane, how do they stay attached to the membrane? - How does the number of peripheral proteins on the surfaces of the membrane compare to other proteins? - What evidence is there that shows the mitochondria may have been free-living prokaryotes? - What are the various functions of microtubles in the cell. - What is the function of a secondary lysosome? - How does the structure of centrioles compare to that of flagella and cilia? Tue 11/18/08 1. Notes: Active Transport 2. Go over worksheet from Friday. Fri 11/14/08 1. Quiz: Lab Osmosis & Diffusion 2. Worksheet: Active Transport HW: Finish worksheet from class. Wed 11/12/08 1. Discussion about lab. Explain what results "should" have been. 2. Worksheet: Water potential HW: You will have a quiz that covers the concepts of diffusion and osmosis. You should read your text related to passive cell transport, diffusion and osmosis. Review your notes. Review your lab. You will be given scenarios similar to what you did in the lab. You should not only be able to explain what happened but also use the terminology. LAB REVIEW: Follow the directions below. 1. Go to the "AP Biology Links" page. 2. Scroll down to the 7th link, "Lab Bench." 3. Click the link. 4. Click on "Lab 1: Diffusion and Osmosis" 5. Review each "Key Concept" also review the experiment. This tutorial will be a good review for the quiz. Test your understanding by taking the quiz. Fri 11/07/08 1. Work in lab groups to complete the graph. 2. Notes: Effect of osmosis on cells. HW: Complete worksheets if you haven't already. We will cover water potential next block. Wed 11/05/08 1. Set up osmosis lab. 2. Notes: Diffusion, passive & active transport. HW: Finish the Chapter 7 Study guide worksheets and the two worksheets from class: - Osmosis and Water Potential - Surface area and volume
