Digestion

Read about the Digestive System Here

Make two column summary notes on what goes on in each section of the digestive system.

 In the wooden bookshelf to the right of the small teacher's desk are some diagrams of the entire digestive system.  Write a summary of what happens in each section in the diagram.   Colour the diagram

Make a mind map and an analogy of cell respiration due next block


mind map   10 marks
one page


ANALOGY IS 30 MARKS
use all the KEY WORDS of cellular respiration and create an ILLUSTRATED ANALOGY on a small poster or cartoon.

KEY WORDS 10 MARKS
You use all the key words 10 marks
you use most words 8-9 marks
you use less than half of the key words 0-5 marks

YOUR ANALOGY 10 MARKS
A brilliant analogy. It makes a lot of sense 10 marks
It's an excellent analogy. most people understand where you are coming from 7-9 marks
Some people don't get it but most do  5-6 marks
your analogy needs more thought 0-5

PRESENTATION  10 MARKS
It is finished, in dark pen and in colour and beautifully done 10 marks
It is done in pencil and still very neatly done with care7-8 marks
It is done in pencil and roughly done 5-6 marks
It is not complete 0-4 marks

Cell Respiration

Take notes on the following videos describing cell respiration and write the notes in your handouts.  Summarize the fate of the Hydrogens delivered by NAD+  and FAD+    In particular pay attention to what happens in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.  There will be an open-note quiz on cell respiration next period:






Answer these questions on the third video while you watch.
1.  What is the purpose of Cellular Respiration?
2.   What is ATP and ADP made of?
3.    What are the three steps of Cellular respiration?
4. In glycolysis, we must make ATP by spending some ATP.  Explain
5.   How many NADH is made in Glycolysis?
6.  In the absence of Oxygen, what pathway does glycolysis take?
7.  When yeast do fermentation, what do they make as a byproduct?
8.  When muscles do fermentation what do they make?
9.  At the end of glycolysis,  pyruvate grabs oxygen,  releases CO2 and what 2 carbon molecule is formed?
10  Acetyl Co A enters the Kreb's citric acid cycle where it releases more CO2 and more NADH and FADH2 are produced.  What is the role of NAD+ and FAD+?

11.  The electron transport chain is the "real money maker" for making ATP.  How many ATP can be made by the electron transport chain?

12.  Look at your diagram and  name all the enzymes imbedded in the inner membrane of the electron transport chain

13.  Which enzyme makes ATP?
14.  What did you eat for breakfast?
15.  Put your name on these questions and hand them in!

Next, look in your textbook on Cell respiration

MEIOSIS and MITOSIS
























































Vulcan Mating Ritual

Mating Lab: 
Purpose:  To have hypothetical offspring with at least 4 other individuals
In the class and calculate the probability of certain traits using a punnet
Square.  Next, you will perform a Vulcan mating ritual (pon farr) where
you randomly pick an allele from the other person and they randomly pick
one of your alleles.  Then observe the traits of your offspring.  Have 8 kids per mate
Keep track of the genotype of each kid.  By the end of the activity, you will have 32 kids


Method:

Write down your phenotype for the following characteristics:
Earlobe attachment or unattached
Tongue rolling or not                       T       t
Cleft chin or smooth chin.                C     c
Widow’s peak or not                          W  w
Natural curl or straight hair         N  n
Dimples or not       D    d
Righty or Lefty       R   r
Freckles or not       F  f
Girl XX or boy XY

For each trait, make the genotype as alleles on two small pieces of paper.
 Write your phenotypes now:


For each mate you have draw nine punnet squares  representing
 each trait and
calculate the Probability of each trait.

Mate 1’s  genotype:_Ff WW tt nn rr dd cc  Ee__XX_________________
Punnet squares: indicate probability



Actual genotypes of the offspring. Draw a cartoon of your kids. Name them

Homologous Chromosomes, Genetics and Mitosis vs Meiosis

You will review some notes on homologous chromosomes and also go over some basic Genetics concepts.  Further you will review the main concepts of Mitosis vs Meiosis as you review this video
