Biology 11 1-1 and 1-3 3 October 2016

Bacterial disease research – For your assigned bacterial disease, research:

  1. bacterial that causes the disease
  2. transmission of the disease (how it is caught or passed between people, how it spreads)
  3. symptoms of the disease
  4. treatment
  5. include a diagram of the bacteria (type, arrangement, other identifying features; eg. are they gram positive or gram negative) or other important features of the illness
  6. include references on back of poster
  7. poster should be colourful, visually appealing, neat, include labelled diagram(s) and point form information

You will have 20 minutes at the start of next period for any last minute poster preparations, then you will be called upon to give a brief (1 minute) presentation on the bacterial disease.

In groups of 2 or 3, answer the following questions:

  1. List the shapes of bacterial cells and provide a diagram.
  2. List the arrangements of bacterial cells and provide a diagram.
  3. What other characteristics of bacteria are used to identify them?

Essential questions we are considering at this time:

  1. what are the characteristics of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
  2. how did eukaryotic cells evolve?

Finish diagram of plant cell and animal cell (see p. 122 – 123). Be sure to label all cell parts and organelles. Diagram should be coloured or neatly outlined with a fine line marker so that all parts are clearly visible.  On back of page, include the function of each organelle/structure.

Safety Test Monday and Tuesday, 26 and 27 Sep 2016

Study WHMIS and Scientific Method, as well.

Please watch the Bozeman Science Youtube video on membranes and check out the animation on osmosis at:

Finish the red blood cell labelled diagram (using p. 99-102 in text) showing the effects of a high concentration solution and low concentration solution. Hint: Think of where water is most concentrated, which is usually opposite to where the solute is more concentrated. Make sure the diagram is neat and well done, and demonstrates that you understand osmosis and concentration gradient.
