Complete “Little Mito” case study and answer all questions (back of sheet). We will discuss the questions and I will collect them. Finish the science review package and hand in Thursday, 20 Sep. Read chapter 3 and fill in the blanks on the chapter outline. Read spongebob story and follow directions (underline broken lab safety rules), and complete the back of the sheet (safety rules).

Finish the homeostasis lab. Each person must have a complete lab to hand in at the start of next class. Complete the homeostasis worksheet and hand in at the start of next class. Complete the reading of chapter 1, using the outline handed out in class. You may also refer to the online resource (see earlier blog post) for the 14th edition of our text, where you will find the chapter outline and many other useful resources.

Re-read p. 209-212 (homeostasis, section 11.5) and write 2 – 3 paragraphs explaining the roles of tissue fluid, blood, and body systems (transport systems, maintenance systems, support systems, and control systems) in the maintenance of homeostasis. Be sure it is neatly written on lined paper, double spaced. You may also type and print the assignment. Please include a reference to the textbook.

 

 

Read up on Homeostasis (p. 209 – 211, and also check index for additional pages that may be relevant). Finish the handouts on experimental design/scientific method and homeostasis.

If you have time, please watch the Bozeman Science Preview – Homeostasis video. There are many other videos on the subject, as well, so feel free to browse and check them out.

Another edition of our textbook is available here.

Part two of fetal pig questions are due next class.

Study for final exams, 14 and 19 June. Exam will cover chapters 1-4, 6, 7, 11, 12, 14-17, 21, 24.1 and 24.2, safety, scientific method. You may remember the link provided to you earlier in the course, where you can find all the textbook chapters.

Read entire fetal pig handout in preparation for the lab.

There are many good videos on the fetal pig dissection. You may wish to finish the video shown in class, or search for another. Our procedure/instruments will differ somewhat from the videos available on-line, so be sure you are familiar with the procedures in our lab and have read it in full before next class.

Please note changes to the schedule:

Quiz on Female Reproductive System is rescheduled to 6 June for block 1-2.

There will be no separate test on the reproductive system. Instead, the material will be tested as part of the final exam. This will allow for more time to do the fetal pig dissection.

Study for final exam, 14 or 19 June.

If you did not turn in, or were absent for, the cell respiration poster assignment, you may do an alternative assignment consisting of a “mini poster” (8.5″ X 11″ letter or 8.5″ X 14″ legal-sized paper) illustrating the 4 phases (glycolysis, transition reaction, citric acid cycle, and ETC), neatly labelled, and in the order that they occur.

Enzymes Review can be completed an submitted if you did not do so.

Please complete Anaerobic respiration questions if you haven’t done so. They are:

1. Write a summary equation for cellular respiration (balanced)
2. What are the stages of aerobic respiration?
3. What are the major differences between aerobic respiration and fermentation?
4. What is the significance of NAD+ in fermentation and aerobic cellular respiration?
5. Why do organisms undergo fermentation in the absence of oxygen?

 

Be sure you have read chapter 14 (digestion).

Work on the first mini case study.

 

Continue reading chapter 14. Read and answer the questions for Mini Case #1 handed out in class.
