Cell Respiration and Photosynthesis Test This Thursday 12/19

Make sure that you look over the review sheet on this website and the Kahoot to help prepare for this test.  The test will be made up of the following:

1. 20 multiple choice questions (1 pt each for 20 pts total)
2. Draw and clearly label 7 parts on either a mitochondrion or a chloroplast.  You don't get to choose.  Your test will tell you which to do.  (6 pts)
3. Explain how structure supports function for at least 3 structures in the drawing from 2. above (4 pts)
4. Pick 2 out of 3 short answer questions (4 pts each for a total of 8 pts)
5. Pick 1 out of 2 longer answer questions on processes in cell resp. and photosynthesis (8 pts)
6. A graph related to our topic with 4-5 short data-based questions associated with it (6 pts total)

Total points:  52

Now Until Winter Break

Hello Students!  The cell respiration and photosynthesis unit is typically one of the most challenging units and we will be covering it between now and Winter Break.  I highly recommend that you get ahead of the material by reading through the sections: 2.8, 8.2, 2.9, and 8.3.  I also recommend watching videos such as the Crash Course ones I have posted and others like Khan Academy.  The repetition and hearing explanations from different perspectives can really help!  The more you let the material into your brain, the more likely your brain will be to accept it and not fight it.  Start now and revisit the material regularly!  Your brain and your stress level will thank you.  But also remember to get some exercise, listen to good music, eat healthy food, and get some sleep!

• Tuesday 12/3:  Review glycolysis and the link reaction and give more details on the Krebs Cycle.  Crash Course video on Cellular Respiration.  The electron transport chain and chemiosmosis.  Respirometers.  Read 8.2 really well!
• Thurs 12/5:  Seed Germination Respiration Lab.  Take data and answer the questions for Parts I and II.   Read 2.9.
• Mon 12/9:  Do Part III of Respiration Lab.  Complete and turn in today or Wednesday.  Overview of Photosynthesis.  Action and absorption spectra.   
• Wed 12/11:  Photosystems II and I.  Overview of the Calvin Cycle.  Read 8.3 if not already.
• Fri 12/13: .  Review all parts of photosynthesis.  Drawing and labeling mitochondria and chloroplasts. Coloring sheet for chloroplasts and mitochondria.  Cell Respiration and Photosynthesis test next Thursday 12/19.
• Tues 12/17:  Review for Cell Respiration Test and Photosynthesis.  Play Kahoot.
• Thurs 12/19:  Cell Respiration and Photosynthesis Test.  Pick up Hand-Out on Cell Division when done and get it started.

2.8 Work to be done after the Biochemistry Test on Wednesday, November 20

Please Do The Following in your Notebook.  To be checked off towards the end of the period on Friday, 11/22.

1. Define cell respiration.
2. What is ATP and what is its advantage for cells?  What is it used for in the cell?
3. Why do cells need a continual supply of ATP?
4. What is anaerobic respiration?  Where/when does it occur?
5. List the 2 summary equations for anaerobic respiration (animals, and yeast and plants).
6. Discuss bread making and bioethanol as examples of anaerobic respiration.
7. Do the data-based questions on p. 125.
8. Discuss anaerobic respiration in humans.
9. Write the equation for aerobic respiration and state its differences from anaerobic respiration (at least 3).

The Two Weeks Before Conferences

• Tues 11/12:  Link together the monomers that you made out of clay last week.  Some notes on proteins and nucleic acids.  Make nucleic acids out of beads.  If time, do DBQ on Chargaff's Rules on p. 107 of the book.
• Thurs 11/14:   The structure of DNA.  Finish DBQ on p. 107 and get it checked off.  Start reviewing for Biochemistry test to be taken next Wed 11/20.
• Mon  11/18:  Review concepts for Biochemistry Test and play Kahoot.
• Wed 11/20:  Biochemistry Test.  Start Cellular Respiration.  Read 2.8.
• Fri 11/22:  Basics of cellular respiration.  Read 2.8 and 8.2.

Lesson Plan for 11/5/2019

1. No Early Work Today!  We will start a new sheet of paper and add up the old one on Thursday.
2. Short Video on Protein Structure
3. Protein Worksheet.  Use 2.4 in the book to answer the questions on the worksheet.  Turn it in when complete.
4. Finish the Molecular Visualization software assignment in your notebook.  You should be prepared to have the BMI and Health Risk of Fats DBQ's and the Molecular Visualization checked off on Thursday.
5. If you finish all that, read 2.6 on Nucleic Acids!

Molecular Visualization: Do this and answer questions in your notebook

Go to the Molecular Visualization Link on my Website (look under links not documents).  The purpose of this activity is for you to become familiar with the structural and 3-D conformation of organic molecules.  You should also pick up some interesting information by reading the text for each molecule. Pay special attention to the differences between the 4 polysaccharides (glycogen, amylose, amylopectin, and cellulose) because that is a specific syllabus requirement.

1. Click on glucose and observe it (it is under carbohydrates).  Use the cursor to rotate it.  Read the text on glucose.  Write at least 2 new observations down about glucose.
2. Now do the same with the following carbohydrates:  fructose, glycogen, amylose, amylopectin, and glycogen
3. Now go to the lipid category and do the same with glycerol, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, one of the fatty acids (name it), and finally, trigycerides.

The Weeks of 10/28/2019-11/8/2019 and End of the Quarter!

The End of Quarter 1 is this week.  My deadline for late work and extra credit is Tuesday, 10/29!  Grades will be finalized on Thursday 10/31 by me.

• Tues 10/29:  Notes on Carbohydrates and start notes on lipids.  Using model kits, make glucose and then link it with the glucose of another group, showing condensation synthesis.  Also, make a fatty acid with the model kits and possibly glycerol and then link 1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids from different groups, showing the formation of a triglyceride.  Read 2.3 if not already.
• Thurs 10/31:  More notes on lipids.  Saturated vs unsaturated fats and their properties.  How to calculate BMI.  Do DBQ's on p. 81 and pp 85-86 in your notebook.  Use molecular visualization software (link on website) to observe different polysaccharides.   Answer questions in your notebook.  Read 2.4.
• Tues 11/5:   Protein worksheet done in class.  
• Thurs 11/7:  More on proteins.  Make clay models of a monosaccharide, and amino acid, and a fatty acid or glycerol.  Start nucleic acids.  Read 2.6.
