Pre-AP BIOLOGY 3rdnd Quarter SYLLABUS 2011-2012 Ms. Mandy Love BGJHS Room A5 Email: [email protected] Website: http://www.bgreen.kyschools.us/ School phone: 270-796-2290 I. Late/Make-up Work: Make-up work will be allowed under certain circumstances. It is the STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY to ask me about receiving make-up work. If make-up work is given, it MUST be returned within five days after the assignment was given, and will not be made-up during instruction time. Retakes may be taken during a student’s study hall period after a unit test. Only one retake is allowed per unit test. II. Behavior: ANY MISBEHAVIOR in this class may result in immediate removal from the Pre-AP Biology course. Misbehavior WILL NOT be tolerated as this is a fast past, high intensity class. III. Grading—YOU MUST HAVE A GRADE OF “B” or HIGHER to earn high school credit for this class!! Your grade will be determined by your scores on tests, quizzes, labs, and classwork as follows: 60% TESTS 20% QUARTER FINAL 10% QUIZZES 10% ENGAGEMENT: Classwork, Homework, Labs,… Topic Organic Molecules Lab: McMush, Organic Compound Tentative Course Schedule for 2011-2012—2nd QUARTER: Unit Goals I Cans… Key Vocabulary The students will: *I CAN name the elements that are functional groups 1. Explain the difference commonly found in organisms. monosaccharaides between organic and inorganic disaccharides compounds. polysaccharides *I CAN describe the function(s) of carbohydrates 2. Describe the general structure carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, fatty acids and function(s), including and nucleic acid in an organism. Foldable Unit Test: October 25 common functional groups, of monosaccharaides, disaccharides, polysaccharides, carbohydrates, fatty acids, glycerol, glycerides, lipids, amino acids, dipeptides, polypeptides, proteins, and nucleic acids. *I CAN draw the common functional groups. *I CAN draw the chemical structure of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Cell Structure and Function Lab: Build a Cell, Microscope Lab Unit Test: Nov 2 Cell Transport 1. Illustrate how all cell organelles work together by describing the step-by-step process of the translation of an mRNA strand into a protein and its subsequent processing by organelles so that the protein is appropriately packaged, labeled, and eventually exported by the cell. * I CAN compare prokaryotic to eukaryotic cells. * I CAN compare and contrast plant and animal cells. *I CAN list the organelles found inside plant and animal cells. I CAN describe the functions of cell organelles. *I CAN contrast the structure and function of components of cell movement (e.g. cilia, flagella, pseudopodia). 1. Describe life processes at the cellular level by describing how molecules enter and leave the cell. * I CAN explain how the cell controls movement of substances both into and out of the cell. *I CAN explain how the cell controls the movement of substances within the cell. *I CAN contrast Active Transport and Passive Transport. *I CAN describe and contrast: osmosis, diffusion, facilitate diffusion, and active transport. *I CAN explain how the cell membrane maintains homeostasis. Active Transport Passive Transport Osmosis Facilitative Diffusion 1. Describe the function of enzymes. * I CAN describe the function of enzymes in a chemical reaction. Enzyme Chemical Lab: Egg Lab, Elodea Lab, Bigger is Not Always Better! Unit Test: Nov 9 Enzymes Labs: Liver glycerol glycerides lipids amino acids dipeptides Polypeptides Proteins nucleic acids condensation reaction hydrolysis Cell Prokaryotic Eukaryotic Membrane Organelle Cytoplasm Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Body Lysosome Vacuole Cell Wall Nucleus Cilia Flagella Pseudopodia Catalyst Lab Unit Test: Nov 16 Cellular Energy *I CAN describe how enzymesubstrate specificity works in biochemical reactions. Labs: DNA Extraction, Reading Anticodons, Imaginary Creature From Proteins Webquest Unit Test: Dec 15 Reaction Catalyst 1. Describe the use of energy at the cellular level. *I CAN identify the cellular sites of and follow through the major pathways of anaerobic respiration. *I CAN compare reactants and products for each process. *I CAN account for how aerobic respiration produces more ATP per monosaccharide. Anaerobic Aerobic Respiration ATP Photosynthesis Pigments Metabolism 1. Understand how genetic structure and processes provide the information for heredity. *I CAN describe the basic structure and function of DNA, mRNA, amino acids, polypeptides, and replication (e.g. replication, transcription, and translation). *I CAN describe the experiments of major scientists in determining both the structure and central dogma of DNA. *I CAN use mRNA codon charts to determine amino acid sequences of example polypeptides. *I CAN use mRNA codon charts to determine the effects of different types of mutations on amino acid sequence and protein structure (e.g. sickle cell anemia resulting from base substitution). *I CAN describe how gene suppression is regulated in organisms such that specific proteins are synthesized on when they are needed by the cell (allowing cell specialization).
