We will grade the review questions from yesterday.  The questions came from pages 192 - 193 from the textbook.  Copy of which is posted in Google Classroom.  Questions numbers 1 -17 and 19 - 23.

Organelle test on Friday, November 1, 2019

Notes form the PowerPoint

Multiple Choice test on Friday.

Cell Analogy Project

Today is the final day to work on the project.

Cell Analogy Project

You will work to compare the organelles of the animal cell to the parts of a factory, city, country, movie or any other organization of choice.  
You will work in groups of 2.

You must draw the items that you are comparing the organelle to. In addition, list the function of the organelle and explain why you think the comparison is similar to the organelle.

The organelles to be included are:
1) The mitochondrion
2) Golgi apparatus
3) Nucelus
4) Ribosomes
5) Rough Endoplasmic reticulum
6) Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum
7) Plasma membrane
8) Cytoplasm
9) Lysosome
10) Vesicle
11) Perosisome
12) Cytoskeleton
13) Nucleolus.

Points will be awarded for the presentation ( appearance). 

Functions of the Organelles

 The drawing of the animal cell is due on Friday, October 25, 2019
We will discuss the organelles present in the plant cell but  not the animal cell and vice versa.

The Functions of the Organelles

You will take notes on The Functions of the Organelles.

Cell Types

A Bacterial Cell

 

 

The Animal Cell

 

 

Introduction to the Microscope.

1) You will learn the parts of the compound light microscope and their functions.
2) You will learn how to calculate the magnification of the light microscope.
3) Learn how to make a wet mount slide
4) Understand how movement of the image changes as viewed through the microscope.
5) Learn the proper use of the low and high power objective lenses.
6) Learn the proper use of the coarse and fine adjustments for focusing.  
 

A Tour of the Cell

The microscope played a significant role in realization that living things were made up of cells. This realization lead to the Cell Theory:
1) All living things are made of one or more cells,
2) Cells come from pre-existing cells,
3) Nothing less than a cell can show the properties of life.
 

Introduction to The Compound Light Microscope

 

Test on the Macromolecules

Multiple choice test. 

Lab Activity

The notes and vocabulary words are due. 
The worksheets from yesterday will be helpful as you prepare for the test on Thursday.

You will work with two food items to observe the positive test for glucose and starch.

Macromolecules Continued, Proteins and Nucleic Acids

It is only in the nature of the varian (R) that amino acids differ from another.  There are only about twenty differetn amino acids that occur in the protein of living organisms, although there are about 2000 natural and artifically made amono acids.

There are ten amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the body and must be obtained in the diet.


Nucleic Acids:
If proteins are the building blocks of life, then nucleic acids are the blue print.The DNA has the instructions and directs the RNA in the functioning of the cells and the synthesis of proteins.

Macromolecule Comparison Table

You will work individually to match the macromolecules with the monomer and the functions.

Introduation to The Macromolecules / Test Results.

Those of you who were absent on Friday, will have until Wednesday, October 9th. to make up the test.

The 4 Types of Macromolecules are:
1) Carbohydrates
2) Proteins
3) Lipids
4) Nucleic Acids

Test on the Chemistry of Life

Multiple choice test.

Hydrocarbon

You will be introduced to the versatile carbon compounds.
Carbon is able to form single, double and triple bonds.  Carbon compounds can be straight chain, branched  or ring structure

You will spend the time drawing hydrocarbon compounds, straight chain, branched, ring. In addition, you will draw compounds with single, double, and triple bonds.

Notes and Vocabulary words are due.

Notes and vocabulary words will be collected.

Chapter test is on Friday, October 4, 2019

Notes form the PowerPoint

You will takes notes on the properties of water.  In addition, we will discuss the pH Scale
