Quote
of the week:
Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never
were, But without it, we go
nowhere.
-Carl Sagan
Question
of the week: Why do leaves turn color in the fall?
Answer
to last week's question:
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? Stone eating bacteria
belong to several families in the genus Thiobacillus.
They can cause damage to
monuments, tombs, buildings and sculptures by converting marble into plaster.
This microbe's metabolic system converts sulfur dioxide gas in the air
into sulfuric acid and uses it to transform calcium carbonate (marble) into
calcium sulfate (plaster).

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:

-nucleus
(nuclear envelope, nucleolus, nuclear pores, chromosomes)
-ER
(smooth and rough)
-ribosomes
-Golgi
