Quote
of the week:
But science is one of the very few human
activities-perhaps the only one- in which errors are systematically criticized
and fairly often, in time, corrected. This
is why we can say that, in science, we often learn from our mistakes, and why we
can speak clearly and sensibly above making progress there.
-Karl Popperm from Conjectures and Refutations
Question
of the week: What family of bacteria is known for causing damage on famous
monuments and sculptures due to its strange eating habit of eating marble and
converting it into plaster?
Answer to last week's question:
What
freshwater mammal is venomous? The
male duck billed platypus has venomous spurs located on its hind legs.
When threatened, the animal will drive them into the skin of a potential
enemy, inflicting a painful sting. The
venom this action releases is relatively mild and generally not harmful to
humans.
Unit
4: Building Block of Life: Cytology (Chapter
7)
CONCEPT:
ENZYMES
-enzymes
( their chemical makeup, parts (
active site, substrate), their functions, 2 theories on how they work ( lock and
key vs. induced fit) and the factors that affect them)
CONCEPT:
CELL THEORY
CONCEPT:
TYPES OF CELLS
-prokaryotes
-eukaryotes
BIG
CONCEPT: MICROSCOPE
Field of view
Total magnification
Low power objective vs. high power objective
Micrometer conversions
Parts of the microscope and their function ( base, stage, diaphragm, coarse adjustment, fine adjustment, nose piece, eye piece, arm, objectives and light source)
Light vs. electron microscope
Viewing specimens under the microscope under LOW and HIGH power
CONCEPT:
PARTS OF THE CELL: structures and functions
-nucleus (nuclear envelope, nucleolus, nuclear pores, chromosomes)
-ER (smooth and rough)
-ribosomes
-Golgi body (vesicles)
-lysosomes
-mitochondria
-chloroplast
-vacuole
-cytosol
-cytoskeleton
-plasma membrane ( lipid bilayer, cholesterol, protein chanels, sugar antennae, fluid mosaic model, semi-permeable)
-cell wall
CONCEPT:
PLANT VS. ANIMAL CELLS
-know the similarities and difference between plant vs.
animal cells
CONCEPT:
TRANSPORT IN CELLS
-parts to a solution (solute, solvent)
-types of solutions (hypertonic, isotonic and hypotonic)
-passive transport ( diffusion, facilitated diffusion and osmosis)
-active transport
-endocytosis vs. exocytosis
