Biology Class Updates and Homework Assignments

1. 4/15 • Warmup – Water potential problems (next slide) (15 min) • Computer lab – 4th/5th Library, 6th Math • I’ll be checking your Cells and Metab Review Manual • While there, you have your choice: • Guided review (Chem Cells and Metab) (note – extra credit to the one I choose as the key) • Digital resources for chem and/or cells and metab. • Look at chem and/or cells tests • Mastering biology redo chem and/or cells • Ask me questions Homework – • Bring your CR and Photosynthesis posters for tomorrow • Guided review handout due Thurs • Purchased review manual = Cell Repro, Cell Signaling, and Mendel with Mitosis/Meiosis and Artificial Selection Lab and Pearson review Manual Mitosis/Meiosis lab due Wed

2. Water potential problems – use your formula sheet • Turn to p. 296 in Pearson and do the 2 problems there • Suppose a plant cell is placed in an open container of 0.1M NaCl solution at 25 degrees Celsius. What would the water potential of the solution be? Then draw out the following scenarios: • If the plant cell has an initial water potential of -3 bars, what direction do you predict water would flow? • If the plant cell has an initial water potential of -8 bars, what direction do you predict water would flow?

3. 4/16 • 5 minute – review posters with neighbor • Cells and Metabolism FRQ – quickwrite and outline • Q&A – Big Idea Pwpt. and manual practice questions • Q&A – Unit Test Homework – • Guided review handout due Thurs • Purchased review manual = Cell Repro, Cell Signaling, and Mendel with Mitosis/Meiosis and Artificial Selection Lab and Pearson review Manual Mitosis/Meiosis lab due Wed • Purchased = Molecular Genetics and Transformation and Restriction Enzyme Analysis Labs, Pearson = same 2 labs due Friday • 6th period Robotics – give Friday’s virtual lab
