Cell Transport & Microscopy
As we move through this week, we’ll differentiate the ways in which molecules, ions, and substrates move in and out of a cell, then jump into your microscopy lab.
BY THE END OF THIS WEEK, you should be able to:
define all terms from the previous 8 weeks,
describe the composition of a phospholipid bilayer,
differentiate between passive and active transport,
compare simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, and osmoregulation,
compare what occurs to cells in isotonic, hypertonic, and hypertonic solutions, and
review the essential differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells while differentiating the organelles within these cells.
Week 8 - Biology
Your Week Ahead
Day 1: Cell Transport Introduction
We'll begin class with your quiz on chemistry, water, and biological macromolecules, then I’ll check your work from last week.
After that, we’ll jump into a brief discussion on how objects are transported into and out of cells.
AFTER CLASS, read pages 226-228
Day 2: Cellular Organization
For people who choose to do so, we’ll begin with a reassessment on your significant figures page from test 1 in class.
You’ll see what you remember from last week then jump into an activity describing the ways in which cells are organized among organisms.
You will then differentiate the 6 groups of living organisms to prepare for your microscope lab.
Day 3: Microscopy Introduction
It’s time to start your multi-day microscope lab!
After class, begin preparing for your test at the end of next week!

IMPORTANT DATES
Significant figures reassessment on Day 2 for people who choose to do so
Test 2 will be next week’s day 3 (10/10 or 10/11) covering chemistry of life, the emergent properties of water, and biological macromolecules.
