Then we took a look into the inner workings of the eukaryotic cell and its organelles. Then we found that cells have a limit in size, due to the limitations caused by its surface area to volume ratio. We examined Each organelle and discussed its role in the secretory process. We briefly looked at the role of ATP generated by the mitochondria. And we discussed how the cell transports things in and out of itself, using active and passive transport.
YOUR STUDY CHECKLIST.
1. You made extensive two column notes on the fine details of chapter 3. Use these to quiz yourself.
2. You did your colouring in the biology colouring book: Focus on these diagrams: The Animal Cell, The Plant Cell, Active and Passive Transport. Know these vocab words on the diagrams.
3. You did the Chapter Review questions at the end of Chapter 3. DO UP TO NUMBER 62. Omit 8 and 12. I will look at these review questions to guide my questions for the test.
4. You did all the labs and understand the main observations:
a. Lab 1 Gummi Bear lab: Observe the effect of a hypotonic solution on Gummi Bear. What happens to the Gummi and why.
b. Lab 2 Sphagnum Moss lab: Sphagnum moss is a primitive plant, a bryophyte with very thin tissue. Observe the cell wall and vacuole under the light microscope
c. Lab 3 Liver Anyone? In this lab, observe the effect of the catalase enzyme from raw beef liver on a small sample of hydrogen peroxide. Explain the function of catalase in your body.
