Need to make up a standard? See a 0 or a 1 in esis?
You have had 3 major on three units so far this semester. First was on Cells, then Cell Transport, and most recently DNA. After you find the standards that you need to retake, look below to see what assignments will be required before you can retake. The purpose of these assignments is to help you study for the retake and give you an idea of what will be on the retake. On top of doing these assignments you must do test corrections in the form Question #, Write out the full question, and then write out the full answer. Since quetions are similar on the retake this will help you understand wording. If you need further assistance please see me for extra help and let me know what you are confused on.
1. Cells
There were 3 standards on your Cells test. Below is a description of each standard and the assignments you must complete to study for and retake that standard. If you are unsure which standards you need to do look on esis, it will be under Cells1, Cells2, and Cells3
Cell Standard 1: Compare and contrast the cellular differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and plant and animal cells.
Cell Standard 2: Describe how eukaryotic cells convert and use energy
Cell Standard 3: Identify examples from the history of science that illustrate modification of scientific knowledge in light of challenges to prevailing explanations
Cell Standard 1: Compare and contrast the cellular differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and plant and animal cells.
- Draw an image of a Eukaryotic animal cell that contains the following organelles and give their function/role: cell membrane (also known as plasma membrane), nucleus, ribosome, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, centriole, and the Golgi apparatus.
- Draw an image of a Eukaryotic plant cell that contains the following organelles and give their function/role: cell wall, cell membrane (also known as plasma membrane), nucleus, ribosome, mitochondria, chloroplasts, endoplasmic reticulum, central vacuole and the Golgi apparatus.
- Create a chart, Venn diagram, or picture that shows the differences between eukaryote and prokaryote cells
Cell Standard 2: Describe how eukaryotic cells convert and use energy
- Answer questions 1-4 and do 5-7:
- Where does photosynthesis take place?
- Where does cellular respiration take place?
- What are the products or outcomes of photosynthesis?
- What are the products or outcomes of cellular respiration?
- Draw a diagram for cellular respiration & photosynthesis that shows inputs and outputs.
- Write out the following equation for photosynthesis 15 times
- Write out the following equation for cellular respiration 15 times
Cell Standard 3: Identify examples from the history of science that illustrate modification of scientific knowledge in light of challenges to prevailing explanations
- Write out the three parts of the cell theory five times
- Draw a picture or write an explanation to describe how the following scientists and their discoveries improved our knowledge today about cells: Robert Hooke, Antony van Leeuwenhoke, Louis Pasteur
- Answer the following question: why do explanations in science change over time?
2. Transport
There were 2 standards on your transport test, you will see them listed on esis as Trans1 and Trans3
Transport Standard 1: Describe the structure and behavior of the cell membrane.
Transport Standard 3: Describe and explain how active transport maintains homeostasis and life.
Transport Standard 1: Describe the structure and behavior of the cell membrane.
- Define/explain: Phospholipid, Phospholipid Bilayer, Protein Channel, Fatty acid tail, Phosphate head, homeostasis
- Draw and label a picture of the cell membrane using the previous vocabulary terms.
- Explain the importance of the cell membrane. What does it do for the cell?
Transport Standard 3: Describe and explain how active transport maintains homeostasis and life.
- Define/explain: Sodium Potassium Pump, ATP, Endocytosis, Exocytosis, Phagocytosis, Concentration gradient
- Draw a picture of Endocytosis
- Draw a picture of Exocytosis
- Explain the role of ATP in active transport.
- Explain what it means that active transport is moving against the concentration gradient.
3. DNA and Protein Synthesis
There were 3 DNA standards. On esis they will look like DNA1, DNA2, and DNA3.
DNA Standard 1: Describe the structure of DNA and how proteins are formed from this code.
DNA Standard 2: Explain the processes and enzymes involved in DNA replication and making proteins, and how mistakes in DNA replication or environmental factors can alter proteins.
DNA Standard 3: Describe the outcome of the cell cycle (interphase and mitosis).
DNA Standard 1: Describe the structure of DNA and how proteins are formed from this code.
- Create a graphic flow chart that has a picture for each of the following words and then a line or arrow with word box that describes why the words are connected. Put the words in order as shown:
- DNA, Chromosome, Gene, Protein
- Draw a picture of two strands of DNA that has four nucleotides, two nucleotides on each strand, that has labeled deoxyribose sugars, nitrogen bases (cytosine, guanine, thymine, adenine, uracil), hydrogen bonds, and phosphate groups.
- Identify the matching DNA nucleotides for the following DNA sequence:
- ATGCCCGCTAATTATAGG
- Use the above DNA sequence to determine the mRNA that it matches with, tRNA, and amino acids coded for
DNA Standard 2: Explain the processes and enzymes involved in DNA replication and making proteins, and how mistakes in DNA replication or environmental factors can alter proteins.
- Write out the seven steps in the correct order for protein synthesis (transcription and translation)
- Describe the different types of RNA: mRNA, rRNA, tRNA
- Draw a picture of DNA replicating that has a helicase molecule, DNA polymerase, and building new DNA strands
- Write a sequence of DNA that shows each of the following type of mutations: Substitution/Point, Frameshift Insertion, Frameshift Deletion
DNA Standard 3: Describe the outcome of the cell cycle (interphase and mitosis).
- Draw a picture to show the outcomes of interphase and mitosis. Explain in words
- List the stages of interphase and the stages of mitosis under your pictures
- Describe how cells produced from mitosis are identical
- Say when DNA replication occurs
