cellular respiration

Hi
In addition to photosynthesis cells have another way to make energy. Both plant and animal cells use cellular respiration to convert glucose to ATP.
Chapter 9 covers this and we will begin this discussion in class this week.

Start of Photosynthesis

Hi !

With the end of our Osmosis and the Egg lab, it marks the end of our discussion of cell membranes and onto photosynthesis! If you need the Osmosis and Egg Lab paper click here.
Remember that lab is due Wednesday Feb, 21st as a formal lab write up!

Photosynthesis starts in chapter 8 in the book, please read chapter 8 and be ready to discuss photosynthesis.
Friday the 23rd we will be having a lab showing photosynthesis using the Stomata ( the opening on the underside of a leaf) Click here for info on Stomata, click here to download the stomata lab.

HOMEWORK

Due Wednesday 2/21 - Osmosis and Egg Formal Lab Write Up

Due Friday 2/23 Read chapter 8, answer questions in section 8-3 page 214 numbers 1-5. This means you need to READ pages 200-214 first then answer the questions.

Cell Membrane

HI

Hope everyone stays well rested for the CHSEE test and you are ready to start in on cell membranes! Up coming things to remember:

Quiz Friday - this includes two parts a written part that tests your knowledge of the shape and function of cellular organelles. The second part involves using an aquatic plant Elodea and preparing a wet mount microscope slide, focusing the leaf and showing me that
1) you can prepare a slide
2) you know how to focus
3) you understand magnification
4) you can identify a cell structure

Here are some notes that I'll be handing out to the class this week

Homework:
