DUE Friday 10-3-14

APES- Chapters 5 and 6 should be read. The review questions (any five from both chapters) and the critical thinking questions (any five from both chapters) should also be handed in.

*No TED tonight- I changed my mind since you have to finish your reading.
* I will be collecting the case study from last week as well.
just for fun: it's about a minute long!

Biology- Window pane terms for bioenergetic reactions  are due tomorrow.
Your window pane homework assignments get averaged together for a project grade- if you have any you  need to fix go ahead and do it so you can still get 100 even if you got a 0 for a previous homework grade!!
 WE HAVE DISCUSSED THIS, IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE YOUR GRADE!!!

We have a big review tomorrow for your last test of this 6 weeks!

Cell project- You should have half of it done by tomorrow. I will check to see what you have! This is not a grade, rather an incentive so you don't put it off to the last minute.
REMEMBER it is DUE next WEDNESDAY!!


window panes list for bioenergetic reactions: (just in case you lost it!)
1. ATP- Adenosine triphosphate- this is your cell's basic unit of chemical energy made from breaking down a glucose molecule.
2. Lysis- to split something open-  in biology it is usually water breaking things down.
3.synthesis- " to make" something, you are building something, usually a compound in your body.
4.Activation energy- least amount of energy required to start a chemical reaction ( happens at the arrow in an equation, it's 2 ATP for Cellular respiration).
5.aerobic-  a reaction that is using oxygen. This produces the highest yield of ATP
6. anaerobic- a reaction that  is not using oxygen.This produces ATP, but far less than would have been produced if oxygen was available
7. fermentation- a type of bioenergetic reaction that occurs in plants and animals when oxygen is not available- a back-up energy process, there are two types you need to know; lactic acid fermentation (animals and certain bacteria) and alcohol fermentation ( plants and certain bacteria).  This occurs in the mitochondria.
8.Respiration- the process of taking in essential materials for life and releasing waste products. his occurs in the mitochondria.
9.photosynthesis- the process of taking in solar energy and converting it to chemical energy. This occurs in the chloroplast
10. metabolism- The combinations of chemical reactions that occur in an organism to help it carry out  life processes.
