Biology 12

Today we watched a review of enzymes video and then did some enzyme practice questions.  Your Diffusion Across a Semi-Permeable membrane lab conclusion is due tomorrow.  Your paragraph should include:  Which biomolecules were able to diffuse across the membrane?  Back this up with data from your lab.  Comment on why these molecules should diffuse across.  Explain any sources of error.

Today we wrote our test on Evolution.  It was LONG!   Make sure you bring in any materials you need to make your virus particle if you are doing choice B in the microbiology project. 

Biology 12

Today we wrote our QUEST on cell organelles and transport mechanisms.   Next we finished off the sausage lab (rates of diffusion across a cell membrane).   You will have time to complete this on Monday.   We will work on Enzymes next week.

Today we played the Cell Games you created!!   Super fun and educational....

Next we made some little cells with dialysis tubing to test for different molecules passing across the membrane.     QUEST on Friday on Organelles and Membrane and Transport.    Module Questions:  Unit 1 Topic 3 A)Transport Mechanisms in Cells answers.

Today we made up a story about the evolution of an animal by means of natural selection.  Next we worked on our Reproduction/Genetics review--due on Thursday. 

Biology 11

Today we turned in Evolution and Taxonomy review.  You will get these back before the test.   Next we took some notes on viruses and got a virus question sheet.  Questions #1-7 are due on Wednesday.    Fun jeopardy review for Evolution found HERE.
