1. Open book quiz on cell organelles.
2.  Familiarize yourself with a few of the organelles from Raycroft summary notes:
 Cell Organelles, a brief summary
3.  complete the Cell review worksheet for homework. There will be a QUIZ ON THIS WORKSHEET NEXT MONDAY

open notes quiz and important notice on the DNA field study sign up

you will get an open note quiz on the cell.  The sign up for the DNA lecture and the DNA lab will be on FRIDAY,  OCT 2,  8 AM on this blog so that the Loon Lake leadership students have an opportunity to sign up too

The Eukaryotic Cell and Its Organelles.

Reading:  Read Chapter 3 of our textbook and download the summary notes Cell Structure and Function

In class, we will spend time getting an overview reviewing the primary function of a Eukaryotic Cell and then there will be time for you to read about the functions of each organelle and how they relate to that primary function.  You will make study notes.

Quiz Questions for the following day:
1.  Explain the primary function of
a. the cell membrane
b.  the nucleus
c.  the ribosome
d. DNA
e. RNA
f. cytoskeleton
g. Endoplasmic Reticulum

2.  I will quiz you on three key words in the table on page 69.  I will give you three functions and you identify the cell organelle.

3.  write a small paragraph giving your own cell analogy.



labs coming up:
1. Osmosis and diffusion in gummi bears.
2. Microscopy skills.  Making a wet mount and preparing a plant specimen.  Prep for our lab.
2.  sign up for our two field excursions on DNA.

Here is a video which takes us on a journey into the cell:

Biological Organization. Chapter 1

Last day, we reviewed the 8 criteria of life and also the levels of biological organization.  We have now finished Chapter 1.  Our next topic is chapter 3, The Eukaryotic Cell.  You will find the lecture notes for biological organization below:
