Today we looked at our cheek cells under the microscope and did the drawings for this. Next we worked on the module questions that are due on Friday (see yesterday's post). We got a "fun, fun" game of mix and match. Check your answers at the end HERE. HERE are answers to the cells practice test.
Module Quiz and Cell Organelle QUiz/QUest coming up on Friday Oct. 1
Today we worked on our biology visual dictionary questions. Make sure you have checked your answers for the co-dominantand incomplete dominant punnett square questions.
Today we finished off the blood cell lab, looking at actual size of red blood cells and white blood cells. Next we practiced all the cell organelles from the module. Finish off these module questions: vi) Golgi (all questions). vii) vacuoles and vesicles (1, 2) viii) lysosomes (3) xi) cell wall and chloroplasts (1,3, 4) x) mitochondria (2-5)
Answers to all module questions found HERE Note that you need to scroll down past the biomolecules questions.
Practice cell organelle quiz answers posted tomorrow.
Good video to see the connection between different cell organelles:
Today we finished off the power point on Cell Organelles. Next we did a lab looking at blood cells and calculating their sizes. Homework: Complete Module Questions on Endoplasmic Reticulum and Ribosomes.
Today we went over our Punnett square quiz on completely dominant alleles. Next we looked at some examples of sex-linked traits and multiple alleles. Do these worksheets and check your answers in class (answer key posted).
Incomplete and Co-dominant (omit #12) Sex-linked traits (first page only)
Today we did a short quiz on Punnett squares with completely dominant traits. Next we took some notes on sex-linked traits and multiple alleles. These are in THIS power point at the end (slide 18-32).
Finally we practiced some in-complete and co-dominant trait questions.
Today we watched the last part of the crash course in Biology on CELLS. Next we ran or walked the Terry fox run. For Monday you should have the Module Questions on Cells completed up to and including the nucleolus.
Here is a good article on how blood cells lose their nuclei: https://wi.mit.edu/news/how-red-blood-cells-nuke-their-nuclei
