Quote
of the week:
"Science allows you to appreciate even more the
beauty of nature"
Question
of the week: What
causes the Mexican jumping bean to jump?
Answer
to last week's question:
Why
do leaves turn color in the fall? The cartenoids which are responsible for fall
colors are present in the leaves during the growing season.
However, the colors are eclipsed by the green chlorophyll.
Toward the end of summer, when the chlorophyll production ceases, the
other colors of the cartenoids ( such as yellow, orange, red and purple) become
visible.

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
