For Tuesday, September 30 and Oct 1

Hi everyone!

I have posted the questions and the article to the wiki so that you can finish your assignment.

Read the next section in the chapter, pgs. 102-106. This information should be very familiar for you. There is a membrane transport tutorial on your cd so check it out.

For those of you that will not be in class on Wednesday because of Raisin in the Sun, you need to visit the following websites and complete the tutorials and the problem sets:

For Monday, September 29th

Hi everyone!

Over the weekend, read the beginning of Chapter 5 (pgs. 95-101). The focus is the composition of the cell membrane in great detail and information about how scientists were able to determine the composition. Spend time on Figure 5-6 on page 99. You should be able to sketch the membrane and explain the functions of each component of the membrane (phospholipids, cholesterol, peripheral proteins, integral proteins, glycolipids). Answer the four review questions on page 101. TO BE CHECKED IN CLASS!

Hi everyone

Here's what's coming this week:

On Monday, we will finish projects and work through some of the Chapter4 powerpoint. The powerpoint file is on the wiki (http://openemily.pbwiki.com/AP-Biology-Home)

Remember, you need to have read Chapter 4. Your test will be on Friday, but we will have a quiz earlier in the week.

For Friday

Hi

A couple of things -

1. Please bring your completed Ch. 2 quiz and your lab from Tuesday.

2. You should be close to finished your Ch. 3 reading guide. I will answer questions that you have on Friday.

3. We are having a quick quiz on Ch. 3 Friday (mostly on carbon compounds and functional groups)

for Wednesday

Hey everyone

Tomorrow we are going to work on Chapter 3. I sent out a reading guide through your email to help you with getting through Chapter 3. (DJ and Caleigh, it bounced back) Please get started and bring it with you to class.

Finish up your Acid Base portion of your lab which includes calculation of pH!

I hope you are all good.
