5/4 and 5/7 (oooh a repeat, must mean its extra important!)
Write out the steps and functions of: replication, transcription and translation
3/30
Replication: to copy a DNA to make more DNA to make new cells 1. Unwind – helicase 2. build daughter DNA strand – Polymerase (semi conservative model ½ new ½ old) 3. Proof read
Transcription: make mRNA from DNA 1. unwind 2.Build mRNA
Translation: To make protein 1.tRNA brings amino acids using Anticodon 2.Anti codon pairs to mRNA codons 3.Ribsome facilitates tRNA finding mRNA 4.Makes protein (made of amino acids (~20) connected by peptide bonds)
- How could 2 blue rabbits produce a white baby? (Draw the punnett square) - What is the probability of that? (Think phenotypic ratio)
Bunny Day!
3/12
3/9
- How are homologies and analogies different? - How can you tell if a character is homologous or analogous? - How can you tellif a character is more evolved?
3/7
What is a homology? Using the lab specimens, give an example of where homology is seen. What habitat do each of the specimens from lab (frog, fish, human, cat, bat, bird) live in (land, air, water) and how do you think their skeletons adapted to that environment?
3/5
Population and Ag Unit: 1/6
What is a population?
What is a species and what does it have to do with a population?
1/9
List and Describe 2 types of growth
What is carrying capacity and why does it change?
1/11
1. How can a limited resource effect a population? 2. Draw an exponential growth curve
1/20
1. In lab you looked at how pops change given birth rate and death rate; What other important factors influence population. (factors contribute to carrying capacity) 2. ON Reverse side - TURN IN!!! –Please write a ½ sheet summary of lab experience –(Practice conclusion, turn in) •Restate hypothesis •Draw conclusion •What worked what didn’t
1/23
1. Write a short summary and the take home message of both the: –Movie: A Diet For A New America –Article: The Worst Mistake
1/25
1. How is soil related to agriculture?
1/27
1. How does solar input effect agriculture? 2. How does solar input effect the earths carrying capacity?
1/30
1. If a farmers land has experienced soil subsidence how would that effect his/her future crop? 2. How does soil volume effect agriculture? And what sustainable agriculture methods would minimize soil volume loss?
2/1
1. How did your percent error in the solar input lab compare to 0% (the desired error) why? 2. How did warming water in the sun give us solar input?
2/3
1. What does ATP
stand for and how is it used? 2. Distinguish
between Autotrophs and Heterotrophs?
2/6
–What does ATP stand for and how is it used? –Distinguish between Autotrophs and Heterotrophs? –Who Has Used Presi (online presentation format) before?
2/8
–How can you tell that a plant is photosynthesizing? How could you test this? (consider the equation of photosynthesis) –
–If you are studying the effects of different color light on rate of photosynthesis. What is the Independent Variable and the Dependent Variable?
2/10
- Say in words
what this equation says:
- What is the photosynthesis Rate Lab experiment designed to test? Why is it important?
2/13
- What are the strengths and weaknesses of you lab conclusion: - Identify the reactants and products of the Light and Dark Reactions?
