Enzyme Catalysis, Cell Structure, Membrane Function

Wednesday 8/24
Goal: Students describe how water dissolves sugar at the molecular level.
Water Video
-Quick Review Dehydration Synthesis/Hydrolysis, Macromolecules
More Molecules (Chapter 3)
Sugar Molarity Taste Testing Lab. (Functional Groups, Concentration, Standard Curve)

Thursday 8/25
SWBAT: Describe the structure and Function of Different BioMolecule Groups.
3.6-3.7 Polysaccharides
-Glycogen vs. Starch vs. Cellulose
3.8 Lipids
-Show how glycerol reacts with three fatty acids
-Saturated vs. Unsaturated
3.9 Phospholipids
-Glycerol + 2 Fatty Acids + 1 Phosphate
3.11 Proteins
-Amino Acids on Cards and Bonding together as a long chain as a class.
-Go over amino acid categories.
3.12 Amino Acids
Peptide Bond Formation Showing on Paper


Friday 8/26
Toothpickase Lab.
Molecule Images: Describe the name and function as you go around the room.
When done: Which do you prefer first my sketches and talking or video?
-Molecules and shapes/dehydration synthesis/Notes
-Playdoh shapes of molecules/pipe cleaner shapes of molecules create a model/take a picture and post to flickr.
-Chapter 3 Vocab discussion.

Monday
SWBAT: Plan out the two trials they want to run for tomorrow's enzyme catalysis lab.
Quick Review Dehydration Synthesis/Hydrolysis, Macromolecules, Functional Groups, Protein Structure and Function.
-Go over peroxide breakdown reaction and energy diagram (activation energy etc.)
Enzyme Catalyzed Reaction graph.
Another Graph.
-Show students gas pressure sensors, and how to use them do a trial run, show them how to determine the rate of reaction.
-Creating a hypothesis...
Tomorrow you will complete two trials...Where you just change one variable between the two trials (potential variables-type of potato, cooked vs. raw potato, raw vs. acid treated, different amounts of potato). In your lab notebook...write out variable you want to change and all of the steps necessary to test that variable (describe how much potato, what type of potato, how much peroxide, shaking instructions, on one side and reason why you are testing it on the other). Creating a data table
Two Columns: Time and Pressure (amount of oxygen generated)

Tuesday
SWBAT: Test the differences in reaction rates according to your plan from yesterday. Collect Data.
Go over 5.14 to 5.16

Wednesday
SWBAT: Review lab and whiteboard their results to share?
3.13 Protein Shape and Function-End of Section 5 of Lesson 6.
Amino Acids as People Activity
3.14 Protein Structure
3.16 Nucleotides
Ending Given Molecule Cards-Classify the card and Carbohydrate, Protein, Nucleic Acid, or Lipid. Write down important functional groups, and determine the job of the molecule based on its function.

Thursday
Molecules, Structure and Function. Given a Function use your text book to create a pipe cleaner representation of that molecule. Send Images to reason42center@photos.flickr.com

Friday
Potato Observations and Cell Membrane Notes at the molecular level.
-Creating Pipe Cleaner Models of molecules that serve specific functions.
-5.10 to 5.16

Tuesday:
Test Chapter 1-3, 5.14-5.16

Wednesday:
1.) Story of Cells (Signal, Two types-Hydrophobic-(steroids) signals vs. hydrophilic (water soluble) signals. Signal goes to the nucleus activates a gene, transcription/Translation at ribosome, Rough endoplasmic reticulum, golgi body, vesicle.
-Other activities-get food vacuole, mitochondria, chloroplasts, maintaining shape moving objects-microtubules, microfilaments etc., cilia, flagella.
-Cells in water around the room and massing the cells at each station (Graphing: Salt concentration vs. Mass gained)

Reading Chapter 4: Create Two Column Notes: For each Section: 2 things you already knew, 2 things that are new to you.

2.) Practice AP Questions/Essays from
3.) Going through the cell membrane role play.
Phospholipid walls: 7000 nm X-Chromosome, Lysosome 1000 nm, 3200 nm mitochondria, ribosome 30 nm, phospholipid 3.0 nm, water (polar) .275 nm, glucose (polar) .900 nm, Carbon Dioxide,

Thursday
Determining the solute concentration of potato cells, setting up dialysis bags and potatoes for tomorrow.

Friday:
Measuring and graphing % change for the different bags of sucrose and the potatoes.

Monday:
Cell Membrane Lecture:
-Going through Passive Transport Types (Osmosis, Diffusion, Facilitated Diffusion) and Active Transport Types (Endo/Exo Cytosis, Sodium Potassium Pumps), hypertonic, isotonic, hypotonic

Tuesday:
