Here is a direct link to the Potato Lab that we will be conducting tomorrow in class. Potato Lab Link Here is the link to the at home Egg Osmosis Lab if you want to attempt it. Download the directions here.
Essential Question: Give 3 examples of diffusion in everyday life. Sketch one o these examples and show the high and low concentrations and movement of the molecules.
Today we were introduced to the second form of cell transport, active transport.
Active transport is when energy is needed to be used to move molecules from low concentration to high concentration across a cell membrane. Often in this form of transport, transport proteins are used to aid the process.
Today we will be starting a Unit on Cell Transport (active and passive).
Essential Question - How do the necessary materials get in and out of your cells.
Here are the notes from today's class. Click here to access. Today in class we will add to these notes filling in examples of each of the vocabulary terms from demonstrations performed in class.
Here are some interactive links showing diffusion of molecules - a form of passive transport.
When you are done your DNA models, check them with a teacher and then start work on the Mitosis vs Meiosis Webquest below. Mitosis and Meiosis Comparison Worksheet
After you have completed the webquest view a few of the below videos. Pay close attention to the following: 1. How many daughter cells are found at the end of each cell division? 2. What is the function of each division and which cells do they occur in? 3. How many chromosomes are found in the daughter cells compared to the mother cells? 4. How many divisions and interphases does each go through?
