NAME ____________________________________ Reading Guide 02 - Biology 160 - The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan DUE: Thurs, Jan 06, 2011 Be prepared to discuss with your group What you will learn in this reading guide: • A reading strategy that may help you to critically think about what you are reading. • One author’s position on the current American culture of eating and thinking about food. Reading Strategy: While you are reading, try out this reading strategy by looking for sentences or short paragraphs with the following characteristics: A. They may catch your attention, so place an exclamation mark (!) next to them. B. Maybe they are unclear for you, so place a question mark (?) next to them. C. Perhaps you disagree with something that was written, so place a minus sign (-) next to them. D. Perhaps you would like to learn more about something that was written, so place a plus sign (+) next to them. E. And finally, if you come across any words that you do not know, underline them so that you can refer back to them later once you have found out what it means. Reading: 1. Come to class prepared to share with your group one or two of the sentences or short paragraphs that you marked in the reading and why you marked them that way. Write down your thoughts here: Page of book !, ?, -, +, or ___ Why? 2. Critical Thinking: What did this help you to understand about answering our question: “Are we really what we eat?” NAME ____________________________________ Reading Guide 02 - Biology 160 - Essential Biology, 4th Ed. (Simon, Reece, Dickey) Am I Really What I Eat? DUE: Thurs, Jan 06, 2011 Be prepared to discuss with your group What you will learn in this reading guide: Now that we understand the many different types of organisms that make up our food, if we looked at our food and at ourselves under the microscope we would see that they and we are made up of cells – sometimes trillions of them! If we looked even closer, we would see that these cells are also made up of even smaller structures that help the cell to do all of the functions it needs to stay alive and maintain the organism. In this chapter we learn more about the three major types of cells that make up our food and our bodies and about their cellular structures. Read: Chapter 4, Essential Biology, 4th Ed. (Simon, Reece, & Dickey) 1. What is the “cell theory”? 2. Describe the three different types of micrographs. 3. Which organisms are made of prokaryotic cells? 4. Which organisms are made of eukaryotic cells? 5. Fill out the following table for the similarities and differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells: Similarities Differences 6. What are the two main types of eukaryotic cells? What are their similarities and differences? Similarities Differences *Be prepared to discuss with your group your reasoning for why you picked the cellular city function below. Cellular Structures Organelle plasma membrane cell surface nucleus ribosomes rough ER smooth ER Golgi Apparatus Function of cell structure? Located in Plants, What function of a city Animals, and/or has a similar job to the Bacteria? organelle? Organelle Function of cell structure? Located in Plants, What function of a city Animals, and/or has a similar job to the Bacteria? organelle? lysosomes vacuoles chloroplasts mitochondria cytoskeleton cilia flagella Critical Thinking: Is the information that you just found out evidence for or evidence against the statement, “You are what you eat?” What other information do you think we still need to know in order to explain this statement?
