Active Transport

HW: read the rest of the same page (no really, this is the link, sorry for the bad link earlier) except for osmosis.

Here are links to the videos we watched in class today:

1. Sodium Potassium Pump
2. The nerve cell and action potential
3. Cystic Fibrosis (only first 5 min or so)

Diffusion

Finish any calculations or questions from the agar cube lab.  Turn this into your shared folder.  Next, read the Diffusion and Facilitated Diffusion sections of the following page:

http://www.uic.edu/classes/bios/bios100/lectures/diffusion.htm

You should absolutely be taking notes on these to help your understanding.  I would click on the picture (title) for each concept and label the diagram with the concepts described in the notes.

HW after quiz

Import your section's organelle notes into Notability.  Read these notes, underline and highlight as needed.  We will continue to discuss the cell and parts of the cell next class.

Quiz on Monday

Quiz on Biochem (nothing on the organelles we just started).  The vocab list will give you an idea of the topics covered.  Check your notes, the reading and the PDFs of the slides.  Format is multiple choice with one open-response on enzymes.

I'll be in around 7 or so on Monday morning if you'd like to come by with questions.

ALMOST FORGOT: Reminder that you can bring in a 3x5 notecard with handwritten notes on one side.


Have a good weekend!

Cell Structure: Organelles

Wednesday night (due Thurs/Friday): Read Ch 7, lessons 1 and 2 from the textbook.  Fill in the notes found in the Unit 2B: Cell Structure folder.  The notes on each organelle can be brief- a few words or phrases.  We will look at them in more detail in class.

Updates

A few things...for class on Wednesday everyone should be preparing a brief summary of the catalase lab results to present to class.  You should state

• your hypothesis
• your procedure, including variables, constants, controls
• your results
• any conclusions you can draw from results regarding enzyme activity

We will wrap up with enzymes on Wednesday.  I mis-identified the reading from the textbook...it is NOT Ch4, but Lesson 4 in Chapter 2 (enzymes).  Sorry about that.

Finally, there was a request to move the biochem quiz to next week so as not to conflict with the upcoming History test. OK.  Quiz on Monday for both sections, so I'm expecting 100% all around, mm-kay?

Almost forgot- you can bring in a 3x5 index card with hand-written notes on ONE side for the quiz.  No excuses now.

Post-Catalase Lab

If you did the full catalase lab today (Squids Friday, Jellies Monday) you should review your data and decide if it supports or contradicts your hypothesis.  You and your lab partners should be prepared to briefly present your data to the rest of the class (so that everyone can hear how the different factors tested affected enzyme function).  If you didn't read the section in the textbook yet you can do that too (see previous post).

There will be a quiz on Biochem at the end of next week (November 13th or 14th).

Enzymes

HW tonight will be to read from the textbook.  The link to download the textbook is in a Google Drive word document called "Untitled Document."  First make sure you have iBooks on your iPad, then click on the link to download the text.  It could take several minutes.

Once you have the book, read Ch 2 Lesson 4 on Enzymes (its not long) on enzymes.  Pay attention to how the shape of an enzyme is essential to its function.  Recall how the 3D shape of an enzyme is determined.

Updated- the reading above is important to do- definitely before the biochem quiz (end of next week).  But your primary focus tonight should be lab prep.  You should have

• a list of all the materials you need
• list of procedures
• a data table or some other place to record results
• and of course, a hypothesis (what will you vary?  what results do you predict?  WHY is the variable affecting the enzyme function?)

Don't forget- today (Thursday) is the LAST DAY I am checking your folders for Q1 homework.  If its not in today its a zero forever!

Link to enzyme video.  There are many others as well.

Protein Folding Lab

HW for tonight- finish the questions to go with the Protein Folding Lab.  When you are done, send them to your Drive folder and create some sub-folders: Q1, Q2.

Also, LAST CALL for Q1 work.  Some of you didn't turn in the Properties of Water or Dehydration Synthesis.

Nucleic Acids

Monday night: Read pp 80-81 on nucleic acids, AND 70-76 on protein structure.
