Biology Test on Tuesday- covers protein synthesis and DNA replication

Students can create a story/ analogy sheet to use during the test.
They must include a key and color the storyboard to be able to use it during the test.
We did one together in class as an example on Thursday and as groups today. They should know how to do one.

If they want to use it on Tuesday, I will need to see it and check it on MONDAY 10-31-16

Here are some links to help your students with the concept of protein synthesis if they are struggling:


FYI- Transcription and Translation are the two processes going on during protein synthesis.
Also= "polypeptide"is a synonym for "protein"

APES homework this weekend

Your homework this weekend is to complete one article (your choice) and listen to this Friday's living on earth podcast.

So far only the one from last Friday is posted. Check on Saturday to see if the October 28th  one has posted IF NOT do the October 21st podcast instead!!

Listen to the October 28th podcast!!

APES weekend hmwk

APES:

Homework- 2 articles - one on environmental impacts of population
Don't forget Vocab homework! Change due date to Thursday
Monday- wrap up planting science labs
Tuesday- lab write up due! Use a google docs and type it up- include  images, graphs and write a comprehensive conclusion.

APES homework for tonight

APES in a box : population- about 10 minutes

APES: What to expect this week

Hey, as most of you know, this week is going to be a busy one! 

Labs or lab development every day!

Please make every effort to be in class.
Some of you have been out quite a bit. You should know that this negatively affects your teammates so let's try to do better so everyone can be successful.

Homework this week: Bozeman Science instructional videos.
They aren't very long and the concepts should be familiar to you. I'm going to post the link now just in case you want to start working on them this weekend (I know your week can get very busy).

The clips you need to watch are under this heading:

Big Idea 2:  The Living World

They are clips 007 through 011

They all need to be completed by Friday!

Here is the link:

Biology- last word list you recieved

Here are the terms from the last word list you received just in case you are trying to fix all of them for your re-take grade on the window pane project. These were supposed to be completed yesterday for a re-take grade, but if you want to spend your weekend fixing them I will definitely take them on Monday!

(For the other lists, just scroll back in time to find them :) )

window panes list for bioenergetic reactions: DUE FRIDAY 9-30-2016

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.
