Assignments 12/4/07

Read Glencoe Chapter 19 Protists

Read Top Shelf page 18-42

Do Top Shelf lab on p.42: growing water molds

For the lab just grow the mold and bring it too class

Next week after we have looked at the molds in class you will write up the lab report

If you have a microscope, bring it to next weeks class

In addition to the terms above, be sure the review the cell membrane exercise, the photosynthesis exercise, and the connections between glycolysis, respiration, electron transport chain and photosynthesis. You do not need to know all the steps and enzymes involved but should have a general idea of the starting and end products of each cycle and whether the cycle generates or uses energy.

microscope to label


arm - this attaches the eyepiece and body tube to the base.
base - this supports the microscope.
body tube - the tube that supports the eyepiece.
coarse focus adjustment - a knob that makes large adjustments to the focus.
diaphragm - an adjustable opening under the stage, allowing different amounts of light onto the stage.
eyepiece - where you place your eye.
fine focus adjustment - a knob that makes small adjustments to the focus (it is often smaller than the coarse focus knob).
high-power objective - a large lens with high magnifying power.
inclination joint - an adjustable joint that lets the arm tilt at various angles.
low-power objective - a small lens with low magnifying power.
mirror (or light source) - this directs light upwards onto the slide.
revolving nosepiece - the rotating device that holds the objectives (lenses).
stage - the platform on which a slide is placed.
stage clips - metal clips that hold a slide securely onto the stage.

Assignments 10/9/07

Required Lab Activities

http://dev.nsta.org/ssc/

Go to #932

This is the lab we went through in class.

Read through lab activity #1 Robert Hooke's Cells. We do not do any of this activity in class

Do the Robert Hooke reading activity

Activity #2: Plant and Animal Cells

You should have drawings of the onion cells, bottom side of lettuce leaf, and cheek cells

Answer questions 3, 4, and 5 from the animal/plant cell lab. Keep this in your lab notebook, you do not have to turn in the answers but we will discuss them in class next week.

Complete the "History of Biological Ideas" reading

Bonus Lab Activity

Pond Water

Since we only had one pond water sample and did not see much you can coplete this for exta credit.

Collect a sample of pond water. Scum is good. Examine the pond water and draw what you see.

Below is a link that will give you examples of what you will see so you know what to look for. Since not everyone has a microscope you can complete this activity in a group if you like. I believe that Gabe and Emily S. have microscopes. Write up a lab report with your observations.

Required Reading

Online biology book Chapter 6: transport in and out of cells

http://www.emc.maricopa.edu/faculty/farabee/BIOBK/BioBooktransp.html

Required online activity

http://www.biology.arizona.edu/DEFAULT.HTML

Go to the cell biology section

Do the "Cell Membranes" and "Studying Cell" sections

Nothing to turn in unless you do the extra lab. Many people still need to turn in the biochemistry questions from last week. We will have another quiz next week over the readings.
