-FADH2 and NADH hold their electons really high in the air, then they pass them to a membrane protein, who also holds it very high in the air. As the membrane protein passes the electron to the next protein, the electron gets lower and lower to the ground. As the electron is transported, H+ ions go into the membrane. After the membrane fills with H, they go through the ATP synthase to make ATP from ADP and P.

Wednesday: Goal: Adaptive Radiation examples whiteboarding. 14.4-14.10
Thursday: Where did Chloroplasts and Mitochondria come from?
Goal: Activities related to reviewing Evolution-Endosymbiosis pieces of evidence. Give students the pieces of evidence and have students provide an explanation as to how this is possible.
-Mitochondria have their own outer membrane.
-Mitochondria have their own DNA.
-Mitochondria are the size of a typical bacteria.
-Early, large, anaerobic bacteria did not efficiently obtain energy from their food because they could not use oxygen bacteria.
-Aerobic bacteria are efficient at obtaining energy from their food.
-Chloroplasts have their own outer membrane.
-Chloroplasts have their own DNA.
-Chloroplasts are the size of a typical cyanobacteria.
-Early, large, aerobic bacteria did need oxygen.
-Aerobic bacteria are efficient at obtaining energy from their food when they have oxygen.
Where did chloroplasts and mitochondria come from?
Friday: Test Chapters 13, 14, Cell Parts Hand out, Endosymbiosis.

AP Summer Assignment/Expectations
Student Expectations
• Do one hour of homework every night and come to class prepared
• Be prepared with assignments
• Show the extra commitment that lab work may require (possible before/after school to complete lab work)
• Follow the safety and behavior requirements of the course
• Attend any extra study/review periods that are held during the year
• Be responsible for making up any work that is missed
• Complete any summer or vacation assignments that may be required
The Goals of AP Biology:
1.) Get you ready for college science classes.
2.) Have you score a 3, 4, or 5 on the AP Biology test to save you money and time in college.
3.) Keep you moving and motivated on your path to improve the world.
This Summer's Assignment is to...
1.) Read the "Genius in All of Us." Available used on Amazon. Also available at the New Carlisle Library.
Focus on the impacts our behavior and environment have on our own genes.
Focus on the section about track and field runners.
Answer the questions on the handout for AP Summer Reading Assignment.
2.) Review and know the vocabulary list.
Most of these words are from freshman biology. Knowing them will help throughout AP Biology and also on the quiz that is the second day of school next fall.
3.) Sign Up for a school appropriate Google Account.
4.) Sign Up for Edmodo.com "I'm a student" Group Name: GensicAPBiology Code: snk7ya
Go to notifications, sign up to get Alerts sent straight to your cell phone.
5.) Questions? Post a Comment to this blog.
6.) Optional: Get a AP Biology Study Book/App. There are many AP Biology Study Apps on the App Store. I don't know enough about these to endorse one. Read the reviews, look at the App previews. Studying more will only help you.
